Football's Back: San Antonio Is Ready For 28-6A, 29-6A & 13-5A DI Action
Oct 01, 2020
The 2020 VYPE San Antonio high school football season preview continues with area UIL team and district breakdowns. Today, we're going to take a look at UIL 28-6A, 29-6A and 13-5A Division I. Check out the team and district previews below and stay tuned for the area's preseason all-VYPE team later this week.
28-6A
San Antonio Brandeis has advanced to back-to-back UIL 6A Division II Region IV finals and has a strong enough roster to make another deep playoff run in 2020. The Broncos join San Antonio Clark as the only returning UIL 28-6A members and welcome North East ISD competition. Expect them to lean on UTSA commit Jalen Rainey, all-state honoree and Prairie View A&M commit Angel Lopez and other notable returners in Joshua Suarez, Joshua Green, Aiden Inesta-Rodriguez and Alex Palomino.
<p>San Antonio Reagan heated up late in the 2019 season and advanced to the UIL 6A Division I area round and is expected to remain a threat in 2020. The Rattlers have UCONN commit Pryce Yates, and other playmakers in Stayton Ankrom, Carson Green, Michael Perry, Roberto Sada Chapa, Pedro Ryan and Jayden Staggers.<br></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

That's because Matthew Salazar and Alex Araiza are still on the roster.</p><p>San Antonio Lanier came oh so close to making the postseason in 2019 and will be a favorite to grab one of the district's playoff berths in 2020. Expect Fabian Maciel and Carlos Jimenez to keep it in the mix because they remember that a 28-27 season finale loss against San Antonio Burbank was the difference in the Voks missing last fall's playoffs.</p><p>San Antonio Jefferson is the area's sleeper going into the 2020 season. It was a game short of making the 2019 UIL 5A Division I postseason in 2019 and has a boatload of all-district talent that includes Ryan Villarreal, Dylan Banda, Mikal Hernandez, Itler Mbula and Angel Cepeda.</p><p>Sam Houston remembers its playoff appearance from the 2018 season, so it wants to bounce back in 2020. The Hurricanes will lean on important returners Darrius Govan and Romeo Losoya.</p><p>Edgewood ISD's two football-playing schools make the jump from UIL 5A Division II to UIL 5A Division I. One of those is San Antonio Memorial, who was competitive in a tough UIL 14-5A Division II last season. Expect the Minutemen to build on that success and lean on a roster that includes all-district honorees Alan Hernandez, Jon Gamble, Rene Jimenez, Phoenix Lopez, CJ Cardenas and Matthew Rubio.</p><p>The other campus is San Antonio Kennedy, who looks to challenge Max Alvarado-led San Antonio Highlands and Luke Converse-led San Antonio Edison. The Rockets haven't won a game since their 2018 season finale, but they can bounce back with returning all-district athletes Max Sandoval and Daniel Sanchez.</p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"></div><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9787720712654893" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-slot="5921136909" style="display:block; text-align:center;"></ins></p><script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
