Knights Knation and Episcopal are proud to announce a new partnership through the LAK  program, a collaboration designed to strengthen player development and provide competitive opportunities at the highest level. This partnership represents a shared commitment to excellence, unity, and long-term growth for student-athletes.

By joining forces, Knights Knation and Episcopal are ensuring that athletes benefit from shared coaching philosophies, elevated competition, and a unified team culture that translates across seasons.

For Episcopal Head Coach JT Blair, the partnership is both personal and transformational. Reflecting on the impact of Knights Knation and the promise of LAK, Blair shared:

“We could not be more excited to partner with the Knights. Being a part of this organization for the last two years has helped me grow as a coach and a person. Knights Knation will give our players the ability to compete together at the highest level. The LAK program gives our guys the ability to stay together for June and grow as a program”

Knights CEO Jack Cressend said, ” We are fired up to partner with JT, his coaches and their players.  Having JT coach in our program has been of awesome value to our players.  His resume is strong and excited to see the success he will have at Episcopal.  Our visions align and this was a no brainer for Knights Knation”

At the core of the LAK partnership is continuity. Keeping players together fosters chemistry, accountability, and shared standards—key ingredients for success on and off the field. Athletes gain increased exposure to high-level competition while remaining grounded in their school program’s identity and goals.

Knights Knation brings a proven development model and competitive platform, while Episcopal contributes a strong program culture and commitment to holistic growth. Together, the partnership is poised to raise the bar for what is possible when school programs and elite organizations work in lockstep.

As LAK moves forward, the focus remains clear: develop players, strengthen programs, and create opportunities for athletes to compete, grow, and succeed—together.
