The top three remain unchanged until proven otherwise, with Smithson Valley (3-0), Johnson (2-0), and Steele (2-1-1) each firing on all cylinders. Smithson Valley continued its dominant start with a 79-14 win over Manor, while Johnson returns from its bye week with LEE awaiting. For Steele, the next test comes Friday in an enticing district matchup at Pieper (2-2), which is coming off an authoritative 52-0 win over San Marcos.
Brennan (3-1) moves up to the No. 4 spot ahead of Boerne and Alamo Heights — both 4-0 and set to square off this week — but the placement isn’t meant as a slight against either 5A powerhouse. Rather, it reflects the sheer dominance the Bears have showcased in every phase during their three-game winning streak, trouncing Sotomayor, Taft, and Reagan by a combined 168-7.
That Boerne-Alamo Heights clash should provide another intriguing measuring stick for two undefeated programs, while Champion’s perfect start remains intact following a 59-3 victory over Lehman. 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.

Amid a weekend riddled with inclement weather, the show must go on when it comes to Texas high school football. Nowhere was that more evident than in San Antonio. With the exception of the highly anticipated clash between Steele and Lake Travis, which ended in a 28-28 tie, the majority of the games resumed after brief suspensions throughout the weekend.
Boerne came away victorious from one of the week’s more entertaining matchups, defeating Davenport, 30-21, with the Greyhounds set to close out their non-district schedule against Somerset this Friday.
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.

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Smithson Valley Rangers volleyball team.
From preseason omission to the top of the midseason hierarchy, Brennan has made a convincing case that it belongs among the region’s elite. The Bears have surged to 24-6 and a 4-0 start in District 29-6A, putting themselves in position to surpass last year’s Area Round finish.
Reagan isn’t far behind, and the Rattlers’ 20-10 mark may not tell the whole story. A schedule loaded with high-quality wins against opponents from across the state — including several San Antonio teams on this list — has given Reagan plenty of proof-of-concept heading into the heart of district play.
The 5A landscape is taking shape, too, with Smithson Valley (22-6) and Champion (21-5) quickly establishing themselves as the division’s benchmarks. New Braunfels (16-16), however, remains a formidable challenger capable of making things interesting on any given night.
Harlan (18-10), Brandeis (18-12), and Pieper (16-13) round out a deep 6A group, while Davenport (22-7) and Tivy (16-11) lead the charge among the 4A contenders.
With district races now underway, the hierarchy may be clearer — but there’s still plenty of volleyball left to rearrange it.
