As district play moves deeper into the schedule, the latest boys basketball rankings offer a clearer picture of which programs have established staying power and which remain poised to surge as the postseason approaches.
At the top of the 6A mix, Brennan has been as steady as any team in the area, opening district play unbeaten while pairing defensive consistency with an efficient offensive attack.
Judson has followed a similar path, using depth and tempo to maintain momentum through league action, while Steele and Clemens continue to track closely behind, each showing the balance and physicality needed to contend over the long haul. Suffice it to say that the District 29-6A race will be one worth monitoring.
Brandeis has also positioned itself firmly in the conversation, racing through district play and proving capable of controlling games on both ends of the floor.
Beyond the top tier, the middle of the rankings remains fluid. Warren has quietly put together a strong district start, showing resilience after a challenging non-district slate and emerging as a team that could complicate postseason draws.
In 5A, the race has been just as compelling. Veterans Memorial has leaned on experience and execution to navigate a demanding district schedule, while New Braunfels has paired scoring depth with consistency to stay near the top of the standings. Pieper has shown flashes of its upside in league play, and Alamo Heights continues to battle through a crowded district, with results that suggest the Mules remain a factor as the season progresses.

Out of San Antonio, separation is beginning to take shape, but the margin for error remains razor thin.
At the forefront sits a Wagner squad that has yet to show any cracks. Fresh off a run to the 5A Division I title game last winter, the Lady T-birds have picked up right where they left off, racing to a pristine 25-0 mark and asserting firm control of their district slate.
In the 6A ranks, balance and depth headline the conversation.
District 28-6A, in particular, is shaping up as a week-to-week grind. Brennan (22-4) currently holds the inside track after a pivotal win over Sotomayor (22-4), though both teams appear well-equipped for a prolonged run. Judson (22-5) and Johnson (24-3) have been equally steady elsewhere, pairing strong records with the kind of defensive discipline that tends to translate in late February.
Meanwhile, squads like Warren, Harlan, Steele, and O’Connor continue to loom as dangerous variables capable of reshuffling the standings on any given night.
Class 5A offers no shortage of intrigue either. MacArthur and McCollum have surged through district play, while Boerne remains firmly in the mix behind a resilient start that suggests its ceiling has yet to be reached.
With the postseason picture still in flux, these rankings serve less as a final verdict and more as a temperature check. The second half of district play figures to bring clarity — and plenty of movement — before the real stakes arrive.
