Smithson Valley remains the benchmark in the San Antonio area, with the two-time defending 5A Division I state champion off to a 6-0 start. The Rangers face their toughest test of the fall next week against unbeaten Champion (6-0), setting up a heavyweight clash with potential playoff implications.

The 6A race is also taking shape, with Johnson (5-0), Brennan (5-1), Steele (4-1-1), and Harlan (5-1) continuing to set the pace. In 5A Division II, Boerne (6-0) and Alamo Heights (6-1) are building momentum, while Tivy (6-0) remains one of the region’s most explosive offenses. The Antlers’ 79-56 shootout win over Taylor offered another glimpse of their scoring potential as district play intensifies.
