Shiner knocked off Timpson 35-28 in the Class 2A DI Semis to advance to the finals this weekend.
VYPE was on the scene with coach Andy Tolbert.
Then there’s Champion, whose dominance is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook. The Chargers improved to 5-0 with a 61-32 win against Anderson, continuing what has been an impressive start to the campaign. Harlan also re-enters the Top 10 after defeating Marshall, 59-14, last week, with the Hawks now sitting at 4-1 heading into their bye.
The 4A ranks, meanwhile, set the stage for one of the week’s most intriguing matchups. Tivy (4-0) and Davenport (3-1) are both unbeaten in District 13-4A Division I and now prepare to clash Friday. With the district race still taking shape, the matchup could ultimately play a major role in determining the division champion.

Madison (3-0) and Davenport (2-1) also return from their respective bye weeks, with both set to open district play.
The pecking order could shift quickly, with a stronger slate of closer, more compelling matchups on tap this week.

Smithson Valley (2-0), Johnson (2-0), Alamo Heights (3-0), and Brennan (2-1) each took care of business in commanding fashion, while Madison improved to 3-0 with a critical 24-16 victory over San Marcos. The win also propels the Mavs higher into the rankings this week.
Making their first appearance in the Top 10, the Champion Chargers (3-0) are looking every bit the team they were a season ago, when they advanced three rounds into the playoffs. Canyon also moves up the rankings after a 20-12 win over Brandeis, while Pieper rounds out the Top 10 despite a narrow 55-49 loss to Temple.
The road ahead gets tougher, and the margin for error gets smaller.
