Through the first two weeks of the new season, there has already been plenty of intrigue for audiences to witness on the San Antonio-area gridiron.
With the district portion of each team's respective year rapidly approaching, programs naturally seek out other opponents in order to properly prepare for their familiar rivals.
Regarding this week in SATX, the matchup between Alamo Heights (2-0) and Canyon (1-1) is sure to be enticing, given their close proximity within our Week 3 Rankings.
Alamo Heights is coming off consecutive dominant victories against Seguin (41-19) and Churchill (21-7), and look to extend their undefeated start to the year.
Coach Ron Rittimann's offense has been clicking on all cylinders thus far, with junior running back DK Garza (first-team, all-district selection) -- who opened 2024 with a 111 yard/2 TD performance -- commanding the rushing attack.
Junior QB Watson Lasswell has shown to be proficient as the Mules' signal-caller, and has an exemplary wide receiver room to work with, beginning with the 2023 14-5A-II Offensive MVP Michael Terry III.
Terry enters his senior year with numerous D1 collegiate offers -- Texas, Oregon, Nebraska, Texas A&M, and Baylor among them -- and should be a favorite to repeat the accolades he earned a year ago.
Defensively, first-teamers Patrick Arriaga and Ryan Stetson make up a lethal linebacker-duo, while senior DB Max Bacon (first-team) holds down the secondary.
On the Canyon side, the Cougars are coming off their first win of the season, in which they outpaced New Braunfels by the score of 38-21.
Offense has been a strong-suit for first-year coach Sean McAuliffe and company, as they are averaging over 35 points per game entering the third week of the Fall.
Senior quarterback Reece Deitrick (second-team) leads the charge, behind a formidable O-Line, with District 12-5A-I Newcomer of the Year Harry Hassmann (Sr. WR) remaining his top target.
Furthermore, expect Jackson Regan (Jr. RB) to continue building his reputation as a versatile runner, after receiving a second-team, all-district nod in 2023.
Meanwhile, second-teamers Gabriel Benitez (Sr. DT) and Roman McFall (Sr. DE) anchor a relentless Canyon defensive line, which could potentially keep Alamo Heights' rushing in check.
This is one you won't want to miss, as these two go head-to-head this Friday (7:30 pm) at Canyon High.

With the tournament portion of the Fall season having come and gone, the Texas high school volleyball landscape now has a more vivid picture of who the heavy-hitters are.
But, as anyone with knowledge of the sport can recognize, district contention is a entirely different beast.
Regarding the San Antonio-area, Class 6A has been dominated by the likes of O'Connor and Harlan up to this point, with Brennan, Reagan, and Madison each enjoying impressive starts as well.
District 26-5A is likely going to be a photo finish, as Pieper, Boerne-Champion, and New Braunfels are equally talented and well coached, which should be intriguing for audiences to witness.
Additionally, Davenport and Floresville are noteworthy candidates within Class 4A.
Given that information, here is our list of exemplary San Antonio volleyball programs who are looking to carry their momentum over to the imminent postseason in the coming weeks.
