RANKINGS
THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Girls Basketball Rankings through various district races; Wagner, Brennan, CTJ surging
In the 6A ranks, balance and depth headline the conversation.
District 28-6A, in particular, is shaping up as a week-to-week grind. Brennan (22-4) currently holds the inside track after a pivotal win over Sotomayor (22-4), though both teams appear well-equipped for a prolonged run. Judson (22-5) and Johnson (24-3) have been equally steady elsewhere, pairing strong records with the kind of defensive discipline that tends to translate in late February.
Meanwhile, squads like Warren, Harlan, Steele, and O’Connor continue to loom as dangerous variables capable of reshuffling the standings on any given night.
Class 5A offers no shortage of intrigue either. MacArthur and McCollum have surged through district play, while Boerne remains firmly in the mix behind a resilient start that suggests its ceiling has yet to be reached.
With the postseason picture still in flux, these rankings serve less as a final verdict and more as a temperature check. The second half of district play figures to bring clarity — and plenty of movement — before the real stakes arrive.

Cibolo Steele Knights (2025 UIL 6A-D1 State Semifinalists)
THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Preseason GBB Rankings; Steele, Wagner, Judson among early elite
Steele sets the early tone after breaking through for its first UIL Final Four appearance since 2016, a milestone that reestablished the program among the state’s elite.
The same can be said for 5A powerhouse Wagner, which not only returned to the State Tournament for the sixth time since 2008, but also made its long-awaited debut in the title game.
Judson, coming off a pristine 36-2 campaign, enters with a clear sense of urgency to push past last year’s third-round exit. Another thing the San Antonio area can confidently point to is a strong slate of Regional Finalists — Brennan (6A-D1), San Marcos (6A-D2), Pieper (5A-D1), and Davenport (4A-D1).
Rounding out the mix are several battle-tested 6A squads — including Johnson, Sotomayor, and O’Connor — each capable of shaping the season’s trajectory.
If the previous campaign hinted at anything, it’s that this region’s blend of depth, experience, and upward-trending programs should once again make it one of the state’s most intriguing battlegrounds.
