Plano, TX — The Prestonwood Christian Academy Plano Lions return to the field in 2025 with high expectations. Topping the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Private School Preseason Rankings at No. 1, PCA Plano looks to build on a strong 9–3 record from 2024 and make a serious run at another TAPPS Division I state championship.

PRE-SEASON OUTLOOK AND RANKINGS
- Ranked #1 among private schools in Texas heading into the 2025 season.

WHY THE LIONS COULD HAVE THEIR BEST SEASON YET
With a strong quarterback returning and a dominant offensive line paving the way for big plays, PCA Plano is moving forward with purpose and faith. Local previews note the team’s elite protection upfront gives their young quarterback “plenty of time to work,” setting up a potentially explosive offense in 2025.
Complementing the explosive offense is a seasoned defense anchored by experienced leaders at every level, known for their discipline and physicality. Local previews highlight the defense’s ability to make crucial stops and create turnovers, giving the Lions a balanced and formidable team poised for success this season.
This team is riding the momentum of a proud legacy—five-time state champions and finalists in both 2022 and 2023—yet their greatest ambition goes beyond trophies. It’s about honoring God through their dedication, perseverance, and championship spirit as they pursue excellence both on and off the field. They are a team built on trust, unity, and the belief that every effort is done “as for the Lord.”
