The essentials
  • Bryan Winegeart returns for his 10th season with All Saints.
  • The Lady Trojans open the 2026 season on August 11 at Brook Hill.
  • 2025 squad had 14 freshmen; all now are sophomores.

Bryan Winegeart expressed confidence in the team’s potential during his return to All Saints. The former head coach, who spent nine seasons at the school, is back after coaching Tyler Legacy for six years. His return brings a fresh start to the Lady Trojans program.

The 2025 season was a rebuilding phase for All Saints. Fourteen out of eighteen players in the program were freshmen, and the team ended with a 5-15 record. Now that those players are sophomores, the Lady Trojans could see improvement and rise in their district standing.

At a media event on July 30 at the CHRISTUS Health Athletic Performance Center, players shared their goals for the season. Sophomore outside hitter Layla Beasley emphasized the importance of unity. “We need to always stick together as a team.”

Sophomore setter Cecilia McCain shared the same team-first attitude. “All of us need to show up, do our best, and work together,” she said. Senior outside hitter Sadie Robertson voiced high hopes for the upcoming season. “I expect a lot of wins and hopefully playoffs,” she added.

The Lady Trojans will begin the 2026 season on August 11 at Brook Hill. They are set to compete in TAPPS 4A District 3, which includes Dallas Christian, Plano Coram Deo, Rockwall Heritage Christian, Dallas Covenant, and Dallas Shelton.

“We’re expecting big things from these girls.”
What's next

All Saints opens the season on August 11 against Brook Hill. A win could signal the start of a playoff run.
