BREAKING Liberty Christian Head Coach Jason Witten is finalizing a deal to become the Tight End’s Coach at the University of Oklahoma. With Witten at the helm, the Warriors went 46-15 and in that time flipped the program from a 2-8 record in his first season to 10-2 the next season, and then going 16-1 in back to back seasons to secure two TAPPS State titles in 2023 and 2024. In his time, Witten established Liberty Christian as one of the premier private school programs in the state, and himself as one of the top program builders and coaches in the state.

To the TXPS Community: ✉️ Year after year, we are blown away by the outpouring of support we receive from each and every single one of you on a weekly basis. We hear consistently how grateful you are for the light we shine on private school athletics, and we want to take this moment to say we are immensely more-so for you. Without you tuning into the weekly episodes, interacting with our content via social media, or expressing your gratitude in-person, there is no TXPS Media. Another special thank you goes out to each and every one of our student-analysts. To Bradley, Bea, Jake, Sean, Rhett, Creighton, Whitney, Brenna, Addison, Daniel, and Austin, your contributions take us to the next level. Whether it is covering games across the state, writing articles, analyzing matchups, creating graphics, or taking photos, your ability to balance academics, athletics and an intensive media internship on top of that is incredibly admirable, and a sign that each of you are destined to excel in your respective paths. A massive shout out also is due to Jayden Villarreal. The majority of the professional, creative video you saw on our page this season was created and edited by him. Not only is the content some of the best in the business, his work ethic is unmatched. From full game recaps, to highlight clips, to hype videos, the ability to put all of this together, while being a full-time student, and also working a separate creative job is an effort worthy of commendation. We’ve mentioned that this began 5 years ago as three college kids rambling into yeti snowball microphones about a community that they desperately wanted to provide the deserved level of recognition. Because of your support, we believe that goal is well on its way of being accomplished, and we’re not close to done. To the Moon🚀
