Week 1 of the high school football season brought a wave of convincing wins and eye-opening performances across the San Antonio metroplex, setting an early tone for what could be one of the more competitive years in recent memory.
Cibolo Steele left no doubt about its top spot, dominating Liberty Hill in a 45-10 rout. The Knights showcased a balanced attack and physical defense—qualities that have become synonymous with their program in recent years.
Just behind them, Smithson Valley looked every bit like a contender in the 5A ranks, overwhelming Roosevelt with a 62-6 statement win. The Rangers appear locked in as they aim to make a deeper postseason run this fall.
Brennan picked up perhaps the most battle-tested win of the weekend, grinding out a 21-13 victory over Reagan in a game defined by defense and disciplined execution. It was a measured, veteran-like performance that signals Brennan is ready for another strong year in 6A.
Meanwhile, Harlan lit up the scoreboard in a 48-40 shootout against East Central—an early sign that the Hawks’ offense can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the region.
Elsewhere, Johnson steamrolled Judson in a dominant showing, while Pieper pulled off one of the more significant wins of the week, edging past last year’s 5A Division II state semifinalist Boerne in a tight road contest.
New Braunfels also impressed with a 70-point explosion against Seguin, and Alamo Heights showed grit in a narrow win over Madison.
As the season continues, the San Antonio rankings remain fluid. With several teams flashing early playoff-caliber potential, Week 2 matchups may bring even more separation—or surprises.
