Football Program

The Episcopal Football Program consists of a Middle School team, a Junior Varsity team, and a Varsity team. The teams practice on the River Field and play games on Pajcic-Hunt Field at Jangro Stadium. The Varsity Football team is coming off of its best season in school history in 2019. The team finished the season with a 10-2 record, a state ranking, and ended the season in the second round of the state playoffs. The football team has advanced to the state playoffs in two of the last four seasons. The football program strives to instill a strong work ethic in the players and make Friday nights memorable for the entire Episcopal community.
