History

History: The KING'S WARRIORS was founded in 1997 by a group led by Dr. Greg L. Gist to fill a need in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex for a competitive Junior Varsity Home School Basketball Team.  Although other cities throughout Texas including Houston and San Antonio have had organized teams for several years and have won competitions at the state and national levels, until 1997 the Metroplex had no such team.
