Hall of Honor

The purpose of the Strake Jesuit Athletics Hall of Honor is to serve as a means of maintaining the rich heritage and tradition of the Fighting Crusader athletic program. In addition, it will serve as a means of recognizing, preserving, and honoring the athletes, coaches, individuals, and teams that made significant contributions to the athletic program.

New Class Elected to Strake Jesuit Athletic Hall of Honor

Two individual athletes and two teams will join the previous inductees of the Strake Jesuit Athletic Hall of Honor as members of this year’s induction class.  Entering the Hall of Strake Jesuit’s most accomplished athletes throughout the years are Andrew Slania '98, Stephen Tyree '06 and the 2010 Soccer Team from the Modern Era. Elected from the Legends Era is the 1972 Cross Country Team.

List of 4 items.

  • Andrew Slania '98

    Andrew Slania '98  is one of the most decorated baseball players in Strake Jesuit history.  A three time First Team All State selection, Andrew left the program as the career leader in batting and in the top 5 in several other categories.  As a senior, he was named to both the preseason and postseason All Greater Houston Teams.  He went on to play college baseball at St. Louis University and is the proud parent of a current Crusader student.
  • Stephen Tyree '06

    Stephen Tyree '06 was a three sport athlete at Strake Jesuit, participating and excelling in Basketball, Football, and Track and Field.  As part of the early UIL days, Tyree was among the first All-District athletes in the school's history.  A rarity in today's high school landscape, Stephen played on both sides of the football as a wide receiver on offense and defensive back on defense.  He went on to play collegiately at Bucknell University.
  • 2010 Soccer Team

    The 2010 Soccer Team finished the regular season with a record of 27-1-1 as a participant in the 5A division of the UIL.  This season was capped off by a trip to the state championship game and a national ranking of #4 by ESPN.  Several players went on the play collegiately, including Patrick Wall, who won a National Championship at Notre Dame.  Other notable players were Robbe Tarver, Michael Davidson, Jamie Garcia-Prats, and Robert Greenberg. 
  • 1972 Cross Country Team

    The 1972 Cross Country Team was the first Strake Jesuit Cross Country Team to win a state championship.  Additionally, six of the seven runners from the team were named All-State.  This team established Strake Jesuit as a force in the sport by winning the first of 23 consecutive state championships.
The incoming members of the Athletic Hall of Honor will be inducted
during a special dinner and ceremony on campus at our annual Strake Jesuit Night of Honor.
Please join us for this year's Hall of Honor induction ceremony on Saturday, March 25, 2023 at 6:00PM in the Moran Dining Hall on the Campus of Strake Jesuit.

Registration for this year's event has closed.  For information and questions, please contact Colin Matheny '02 at cmatheny@strakejesuit.org.
