          <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Westminster Academy alumnus Chase Johnston scored the game-winning basket as No. 12 High Point stunned No. 5 Wisconsin, with an 83–82 victory on Thursday night in the first major upset of the 2026 <span class="caps">NCAA</span> Tournament.</p>

<p>High Point erased a double-digit second-half deficit and took its first-ever <span class="caps">NCAA</span> Tournament win in just its second appearance. The defining moment came with 11.7 seconds remaining. After Wisconsin missed a go-ahead layup, Rob Martin secured the rebound and delivered a full-court pass to Johnston, who finished a breakaway layup to give High Point an 83–82 lead. Notably, the basket marked Johnston’s first made two-point field goal of the season—an ironic and fitting moment for a player known almost exclusively for his three-point shooting. </p>

<p>After delivering the decisive play, Johnston reflected on the moment through the lens of his faith, “I was just praying, ‘Lord, let us shock the world.’” </p>

<p>High Point’s defense secured the win in the final seconds. Moments after the final buzzer, Johnston pointed not to himself, but to his faith.</p>

<p>“First and foremost, I want to give all glory to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Johnston said. “This team is built on John 15:13—we serve each other, we love each other, and we’d give everything for each other.”</p>

<p>Johnston, a 6-foot-3 graduate guard wearing No. 99, has built his role as a perimeter specialist, climbing to 415 career three-pointers—surpassing Stephen Curry’s total at Davidson and placing him among the top shooters in Division I history.</p>

<p>Johnston’s path to this moment has been marked by perseverance. After hip surgery earlier in his college career, he considered stepping away from basketball before returning with a renewed sense of purpose.</p>

<p>Johnston etched his name into the national record books in 2019, setting a new national high school boys’ record with 546 career three-pointers. Johnston also played a vital role in Westminster Academy basketball program’s sustained success, contributing to their fourth consecutive State Final appearance and securing their third consecutive State Championship in Lakeland, Florida. Westminster Academy is only the second school in Broward County to claim a state championship three-peat.</p>

<p>Reflecting on his time as Johnston’s varsity men’s basketball coach for six years at Westminster Academy, Coach Ehren Wallhoff states, “Chase was an instrumental part of the success of our state run and three state championships during his time here. He is a true competitor and winner who always had a work ethic that couldn’t be matched, which ultimately continued into his collegiate career, where he continues to win and make an impact both on and off the court. I am proud of how he’s continued to live out his faith while competing at the highest level.”</p>

<p>In addition to Johnston, Westminster Academy has two other alumni competing in this year’s <span class="caps">NCAA</span> Men’s Basketball Tournament: Jaylen Carey, WA class of ’23, playing for the University of Tennessee, and Alex Lloyd, WA class of ’25, playing for the University of Florida.</p>

<p>The Westminster Academy basketball program has long been a cornerstone of the school’s championship athletic tradition. Founded in 1971, WA has developed a reputation for excellence across athletics, combining competitive success with a Christ-centered, biblically-based college preparatory education. </p>

<p>Through programs like men’s basketball, WA continues to develop not only championship athletes, but young men and women prepared to lead and impact the world for Christ.</p>]]></content:encoded>

          </description>

          <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <span class="school-name">Real Life Christian Academy</span> football team completed a perfect 13-0 season in 2025 — a campaign marked by dominance, discipline, and a championship pedigree. From kickoff to final whistle, <span class="caps">RLCA</span> never wavered, combining relentless offense, stout defense, and unshakable resolve to earn the school’s first 8-Man state championship.</p>

<p>Highlights of the season included emphatic playoff victories: a commanding 49–26 win over <span class="school-name">Merritt Island Christian</span>, a 38–14 triumph in the state final against <span class="school-name">Bradenton Christian</span>, and a consistent showing from both the skill positions and the trenches.</p>

<p>Throughout the year, <span class="caps">RLCA</span>’s offense surged, often piling up 300+ rushing yards or combining multiple scoring drives per game, while the defense held firm — limiting opponents and forcing turnovers.</p>

<p>Beyond the numbers, what made the 2025 season special was the character of the team: under pressure, facing adversity, the players stuck together, answered every challenge, and delivered under the brightest lights. </p>

<p>The completion of an undefeated championship run marks not just a high-water mark for <span class="caps">RLCA</span> football—it establishes a new standard for the program and sets a legacy that will inspire future generations of Raptors.</p>]]></content:encoded>
