Boys Soccer

The Knights earned an exciting overtime win versus Metairie Park Country Day to advance to the state quarterfinals. They also finished the season once again as District Champs. This is the 9th year in a row the boys have finished as District champions! 

The boys earned big wins versus Dunham, Kenner Discovery, Northeast, Walker, Live Oak and Metairie Park Country Day. They also defeated Caddo Magnet and Lafayette Christian Academy in the EIL Tournament in Broussard.

Girls Soccer

The Knights had another successful season with a record of 18-5-1. The girls once again earned the District Championship title and made a solid run at the state title. The team advanced to the state semi final only to narrowly lose 2-1 to the eventual state champions, Newman. One of the most memorable moments of that playoff run was being down 1-0 in the state quarter final at half time and then coming back in the second half and scoring five unanswered goals on the Episcopal home field.

The Knights had success early on in the season, going undefeated in both tournaments they played. In the Rebel Cup in Pineville the Knights beat Grant, St. Thomas Aquinas and Acadiana Renaissance and then went unbeaten in the Holiday Cup, defeating St. Micheals, Catholic New Iberia and Chapelle.

Indoor Track & Field

Congratulations to Zoey Hodges, the 2025 State Indoor Long Jump Champion! Additionally, the boys team finished 8th out of 35 in the state indoor meet.  The 4X400 meter relay team composed of  JP Hall, Foster Lambert, Nathan Sanchez and Wyn Turner made the podium by placing 3rd.  Their time of 3:34 is one of the best in school history.  Wynn Turner (60 hurdles) and Foster Lambert (800 meter run) both placed 4th and senior Will Ribes placed 5th in the pole vault.  

The team also celebrated a great showing at the LSU Qualifier. Episcopal’s Foster Lambert broke the 800M indoor school record held by Christian Johnson. In addition, Neva Lambert finished third in the 3200M with a PR time of 11:30. This ranks number third all-time for Louisiana ninth grade girls!

The Knights begin the spring outdoor season with a meet at Catholic High School on March 8th.
