THE TIER LIST: Final VYPE SATX Softball Rankings prior to imminent 2025 Playoffs
As April winds down, so does the UIL softball regular season—and the road to Red & Charline McCombs Field in Austin is officially underway.
With the revamped playoff format in place, teams will soon split into divisions and begin their postseason journey.
In the San Antonio area, several programs look more than capable of making a serious push toward State in the coming weeks.
Leading the way are the O’Connor Panthers, who closed the regular season on a 12-game win streak and now carry a strong 19-2 record into the postseason. Right behind them in District 28-6A is Harlan (19-4), another dangerous squad capable of a deep playoff run.
In Class 5A, Smithson Valley has been dominant all year, going unbeaten in District 26-5A to post an impressive 18-1 mark. SA Veterans Memorial (18-3) also remains firmly in the mix after a strong regular season showing.
Out of Class 4A, Davenport (19-7-1) continues to build on its reputation as a regional powerhouse, while 6A contenders like East Central, Johnson, Taft, and Cibolo Steele have also put together solid campaigns.
With district titles now settled and playoff brackets on the horizon, San Antonio’s top teams are shifting their focus to the most important stretch of the spring—where history is decided.
