THE HIERARCHY: VYPE SATX 2025 Week 6 Football Rankings; Boerne elevates off a stellar win
With Week 6 on the horizon, several programs in the greater San Antonio area are beginning to separate themselves through another round of district competition. The updated VYPE Top-10 (6A–4A) reflects not only who’s unbeaten, but also who’s handled the early season grind with efficiency.
At the top sits Cibolo Steele, which remains steady after cruising past Clemens in a 48-20 district-opening win. With their only loss coming to national power DeSoto earlier this season, the Knights look poised to control District 29-6A as they head into a road test against East Central.
Right behind them, Harlan continues to flash dominance on both sides of the ball. The Hawks improved to 4-0 after dismantling O’Connor, 55-7, and look like legitimate contenders in 28-6A. After a bye week, Brennan will also look to get back in the win column when traveling to face the Panthers.
In 27-6A, both Johnson and Clark are quietly building strong cases. Johnson impressed with a 45-28 win over Brandeis, while Clark pitched a 42-0 shutout of LEE to move to 4-0. Their upcoming matchups could determine how the district hierarchy shapes up in October.
In Class 5A, Smithson Valley held firm against Pieper, emerging with a hard-fought 27-17 win to stay unbeaten in district play. New Braunfels, now 5-0, continued its surge with a dominant win over Victoria East. Boerne also made a statement by edging out Alamo Heights in a 37-35 thriller, flipping momentum in District 13-5A Division II.
Davenport, the lone 4A representative, remains unbeaten after a commanding win over Pleasanton. The Wolves are averaging over 50 points per game and show no signs of slowing down.
As district races tighten, expect the spotlight to sharpen on head-to-head matchups in the coming weeks. With several top-10 teams facing bye weeks or key showdowns, the margin for error is shrinking fast....

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE SATX 2025 Week 5 Football Rankings; Harlan soars with key district win
While it’s still early in district play for most, a clearer sense of each team’s identity is emerging — and with that, a few programs are starting to build real momentum.
Despite suffering their first loss of the season, Steele maintains the top spot in our combined rankings. The Knights’ 37-14 defeat came at the hands of Austin Westlake — a well-known perennial State contender — and does little to diminish Steele’s status as a serious 6A threat. They’ll look to respond this Friday against district opponent Clemens.
Harlan, meanwhile, continues to strengthen its case as the area’s top team after a statement win over Brennan in a key District 28-6A opener. The Hawks looked sharp on both sides of the ball and will aim to stay perfect against O’Connor.
In 5A, Smithson Valley and New Braunfels remain standouts. The Rangers opened district play with a commanding victory over Boerne-Champion and now face a competitive Pieper team that just proved why they belong in the Top-10. New Braunfels, now 4-0, continues to impress with consistent performances and a stout defense.
Alamo Heights and Davenport also remain unbeaten, with both programs finding ways to win in different fashions. The Mules edged out Clemens in a tight contest and now face Boerne in one of this week’s most compelling matchups.
With several crucial district games on the horizon, Week 5 should provide even more clarity — and possibly a few surprises — as teams begin to hit their stride.
