Returning some big players in the field, and in the goal, the Rangers coach says he plans to look to his leaders, Colton Adkins, Devin Yocham, Micah Jenkins, and Ryan Harley. Coming off last year as District Runner-up, the Rangers want that District 27 Title.

Elsewhere in Class 6A, Johnson (8-0) has all but locked up its third consecutive district title, while Steele (7-1-1) has already mathematically clinched its sixth straight crown.
Class 5A boasts similar distinction, with Smithson Valley (9-0) entering the playoffs undefeated and celebrating back-to-back district championships. Boerne (9-0) is on the verge of matching that feat.
Tivy (8-1), meanwhile, slips slightly in the rankings after suffering its first defeat of the season, falling to Canyon Lake, 53-50, in a high-scoring thriller.
Week 11 now offers one final opportunity to settle unfinished business before the postseason takes center stage.

Some of the featured standouts of the 2026-27 Pieper Warriors volleyball team.
At 31-6 overall and unbeaten throughout the district schedule, Smithson Valley is making a strong case as the team to beat in Class 5A. Boerne (27-4) and Champion (27-7) aren’t far behind, locked in a footrace for the District 26-5A title. The Greyhounds hold the edge after their 3-1 victory in September, but the race remains very much alive.
Meanwhile, Pieper (24-14) is chasing its first district championship since moving up to 6A in this summer’s UIL realignment. The home stretch offers little room for error, highlighted by a rematch with NB Canyon, the only team to hand the Warriors a district loss in five sets. Still, Pieper stands on the brink of history, so the final push will come down to execution.
