Annapolis Christian Academy boys win TCAL state championship
The Annapolis Christian Academy boys basketball team is back on top of the Texas Christian Athletic League.
The Warriors defeated Bryan Still Creek 67-32 to capture the Class A title on Saturday for the team's third TCAL state title in five seasons, and first since 2020.
Annapolis rolled past Lifegate in the semifinal round before its title-clinching win against Still Creek.
Caleb Riojas led the Warriors in scoring during the three games with more than 20 points a contest and Brendan Liefer averaged more than 10 points and nine assists throughout the postseason.
"It was tremendous and a team effort," Annapolis coach Willie Harper said. "I played all 13 kids in all three games, and everyone contributed. That's what we have built on all year. I had three seniors who have been with me for five to six years since middle school and they knew it had to be a team effort."
Riojas, Liefer and Liam Harms were named all-tournament, and Riojas was named the tournament's most valuable player.
"He has come a long way," Harper said of Riojas. "He came to Annapolis in eighth grade and part of three titles. He's developed from a little boy to a man. He has a bright future and a big upside. We're building a dynasty here in Corpus Christi."
