The road since first grade certainly hasn't been easy, and Joel has faced a lot of closed doors along the way that could have been defeating enough to stop, but he didn't. Starting his freshman year as the JV quarterback and going undefeated in what Joel says was a really fun, competitive season was what got his high school career going.

With two weeks of the season already in the books, the competitive landscape in the San Antonio area is beginning to take on a more defined shape. While most teams are still fine-tuning their identities, early-season results have already offered insight into which programs are built for staying power.

At the top, Cibolo Steele continues to look sharp on both sides of the ball, following up its opening win with a convincing 28-13 victory over Reagan. The Knights return home this Friday to take on Brandeis.
