On Top: VYPE San Antonio UIL Boys 6A & 5A Rankings (1/9)
Jan 09, 2021
Coming back from winter break, and the NEISD Basketball shut down, and we are deep into District play. The top six for 6A are holding true to their rankings, and Boerne Champion still sits at the top of 5A, but we can be on the lookout for some shake ups in the second half district play. Teams will be fighting for their spots in playoffs, and we can anticipate some different game planning.
VYPE San Antonio UIL 6A Boys Basketball Rankings (1/9):
