Meanwhile, Johnson (7-0) continues its unblemished run through 27-6A, building a balanced attack that has quietly elevated them into the regional conversation.
In 5A, Smithson Valley (6-1) — the defending D1 State Champion — faces a pivotal matchup this week against New Braunfels (6-1), a team looking to bounce back after a narrow loss to Pieper (4-3).
That upset win marked Pieper’s re-entry into the Top-10, and it may prove to be the spark the Warriors needed entering the final stretch. Boerne (6-1) and Alamo Heights (7-1) also continue to set the standard among 5A-D2 contenders, each finding rhythm on both sides of the ball.
And in 4A, Davenport (8-0) keeps its unbeaten streak intact, once again demonstrating why it remains one of the area’s most complete teams. With the postseason drawing near, separation among the elite is minimal — but the stakes are quickly rising, and every snap from here on out feels heavier.

Harlan (32-6) follows closely, hoping to replicate the momentum that carried them four rounds deep in 2024 before falling to eventual State Semifinalist Vandegrift in five sets.
In 5A, New Braunfels (39-5) has quietly positioned itself as the team to beat, riding a flawless 14-0 district slate. Pieper (30-10) and Boerne-Champion (25-6) could still disrupt expectations, offering the kind of upset potential that makes the playoffs unpredictable.
Comal Canyon (29-13) and Brennan (26-13) round out the 6A contenders, each showing the ability to translate steady regular-season performances into postseason bursts.
Davenport (32-8) stands out in 4A after reaching the State Final Four last fall, reminding opponents that past success can be a reliable predictor of postseason impact.
Meanwhile, Clark (23-15) and SA Reagan (28-12) are teams whose late-season surges hint at the deeper runs they could mount despite middling overall records.
The coming weeks will test consistency and the ability to perform when it matters most, offering the potential for both vindication and gold.

In Class 5A, Smithson Valley and New Braunfels continue to set the standard. The Unicorns, now 6-0, battled past Boerne-Champion in a gritty showing and face a key test against Pieper next. Smithson Valley, meanwhile, keeps rolling behind a steady offense and opportunistic defense, maintaining its unblemished district record.
The 27-6A landscape remains as competitive as ever. Johnson edged rival Reagan in a 34–27 thriller to stay perfect, while Clark kept pace with a strong showing over Madison—further tightening a district race that still feels far from settled.
Boerne and Davenport both continued to handle business with decisive wins, while Alamo Heights rebounded with an explosive offensive outing against Victoria West.
These next few weeks may not decide any titles outright, but they’ll set the stage for the defining stretch of district play, where every margin—and every possession—will start to matter more.
