The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Smithson Valley Rangers volleyball team.
POWER GRID: VYPE San Antonio Volleyball Rankings | Brennan Takes No. 1 as 6A, 5A Powers Rise
The 5A landscape is taking shape, too, with Smithson Valley (22-6) and Champion (21-5) quickly establishing themselves as the division’s benchmarks. New Braunfels (16-16), however, remains a formidable challenger capable of making things interesting on any given night.
Harlan (18-10), Brandeis (18-12), and Pieper (16-13) round out a deep 6A group, while Davenport (22-7) and Tivy (16-11) lead the charge among the 4A contenders.
With district races now underway, the hierarchy may be clearer — but there’s still plenty of volleyball left to rearrange it.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE San Antonio Football Rankings — Week 3 | Johnson Stuns Vandegrift, SV Stays on Top
Steele, meanwhile, finds itself in another heavyweight matchup after a tough road loss to Atascocita. The Knights will look to bounce back Friday night against Lake Travis, giving them little time to dwell on their first setback of the season.
Brennan secured its first win by lighting up the scoreboard against Reagan, while Madison, Canyon and 4A contender Davenport make their first appearances in the rankings. Davenport, in particular, will have a chance to make an immediate impression, facing unbeaten Boerne in one of Week 3’s more intriguing matchups.
The hierarchy is taking shape — and Week 3 has plenty of opportunities to shake it up.
