THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Updated Girls Basketball Rankings to start off 2025; Judson, Pieper surging
With January now here, teams across the state are diving into the second wave of pivotal district match-ups, all crucial for securing the ever-important playoff seeding. In a season filled with twists and turns, few regions have experienced as much drama as the San Antonio area.
In the race for the top spot, Converse Judson has claimed the lead, both in our rankings and in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) 6A Girls rankings.
After an unfortunate early exit in the Bi-District round last year, the Rockets have come roaring back in 2025. Their incredible 26-1 record speaks volumes about their dominance, and with their eyes set on a deeper playoff run, they’re poised to make a serious impact come February.
Not far behind, Pieper is having a season to remember. The Warriors, currently 19-5, are unbeaten in district play with a perfect 9-0 record. Their 58-52 victory over fellow 26-5A contender SA Wagner (22-3) has solidified their status as one of the area’s top teams, but the rematch this Friday promises to have major implications for the district title.
Elsewhere, teams like Cibolo Steele, SA Churchill, San Marcos, Sotomayor, and Brennan continue to excel in Class 6A, while McCollum (24-3) and SA Sam Houston (23-4) have made a strong debut in our Top-10 rankings.
As we approach the final stretch of district play, let’s break down how the most enticing squads in San Antonio are shaping up.

Both teams are full of extreme talent, and it was a competitive matchup that the Knights were able to win. Clark Cougars also had their first loss of the season to the talented Reagan Rattlers. The Rattlers were able to come out of their matchup with the win and final score of 65-57.
For 5A, we see New Braunfels Canyon showing up big in district and beating Boerne Champion by 2 points, sending the Cougars up to our #1 spot on the week. Canyon hasn't had a loss on the season since the first week of December, and we anticipate big wins to continue to come in.
