In just its inaugural year, Xavier Academy’s boys’ basketball program led by head coach Teddy Wheeler has emerged as a rising powerhouse in Houston’s highly competitive SWAIC (Southwest Athletic Interscholastic Conference). Appointed before the 2024–25 season, Coach Wheeler guided the team to an extraordinary SWAIC Conference Championship and was honored as the 2025 SWAIC Coach of the Year, a testament to his leadership, discipline, and proven player-development system. With a coaching résumé that includes helping more than 60 athletes secure Division-I commitments and mentoring three McDonald’s All-Americans, Coach Wheeler brings a nationally respected pedigree to Xavier Academy. Echoing his belief that “education plays a key role in developing discipline and social skills for students,” Xavier Academy extends that mission beyond the classroom cultivating young men of character, academic focus, and athletic excellence. Families seeking a school where their children can grow, compete, and thrive at the highest level will find unmatched opportunity in the foundation Coach Wheeler is building at Xavier Academy.
