“At the end of the season, they rank
you and go from there,” said Ford.
“The postseason is only about three

sports.”
All of Full Armor’s high school
sports teams, volleyball, football and

of TAIAO.
The junior high programs will stay
in the Christian Schools Athletic Con-

Thompson was 21 and gradu-

2016. He was a first team all dis-
trict selection at both defensive
end and fullback as a senior and
also played basketball.
Mount Enterprise ath-
letic director Scott Hol-

was one of the best kids
he’s ever gotten to coach.
“I’m not saying this
because of what hap-

“This has been tough on those

Full Armor Christian Academy,
despite having just one senior on its
roster, could be playing for a state
championship in a few months.
At the very least, the Warriors are
eligible for the postseason, should they
qualify. After playing as an indepen-
dent program last year, Full Armor
has joined the Texas Association of
Independent Athletic Organizations
(TAIAO) this season.
The TAIAO began in 2013 with eight
members across the state of Texas. It
grew to 19 and two divisions a year
later. This past season, TAIAO had 35
organizations playing under its gov-
erning umbrella. It only consists of
6-Man teams.
The organization is open to pri-
vate schools, which Full Armor falls
under, charter schools, home schools
and public schools. Cities represented

Dallas south to San Antonio.
