The finish line is in sight, but the biggest shifts may still be ahead.
After a brief dip in the rankings, Harlan (25-10) has surged back to the top of the SATX power structure. Riding an eight-game winning streak, the Hawks reasserted their position with a five-set victory over rival Brennan (31-7). The Bears will get their shot to respond next Friday (10/23), when the regular-season finale could decide the District 29-6A title.
At 31-6 overall and unbeaten throughout the district schedule, Smithson Valley is making a strong case as the team to beat in Class 5A. Boerne (27-4) and Champion (27-7) aren’t far behind, locked in a footrace for the District 26-5A title. The Greyhounds hold the edge after their 3-1 victory in September, but the race remains very much alive.
Meanwhile, Pieper (24-14) is chasing its first district championship since moving up to 6A in this summer’s UIL realignment. The home stretch offers little room for error, highlighted by a rematch with NB Canyon, the only team to hand the Warriors a district loss in five sets. Still, Pieper stands on the brink of history, so the final push will come down to execution.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE San Antonio Football Rankings — Week 7 | Tivy Puts 4A on Notice
Considering most teams handled business as usual while the rest were on a bye, it stands to reason that there’s little to no change in the SATX Top 10.
Easily the most noteworthy result of the past week, Tivy bested fellow 4A heavyweight Davenport in an offensive shootout for the ages, taking down the Wolves, 70-66. The victory pushes the Antlers to 5-0 and puts them firmly in control of District 13-4A D1.
Johnson thwarted a scrappy Brandeis unit, 38-25, improving its perfect start to 4-0 as the Jaguars prepare to host Roosevelt on Thursday night.
Smithson Valley (5-0), Brennan (5-1), Champion (6-0), and Alamo Heights (5-1) were among the teams to flex with one-sided victories, while Steele (3-1-1), Boerne (5-0), and Harlan (4-1) will return from the bye with a chance to make their mark.
With that in mind, here’s a look at where everyone stands and the matchups on tap this week.
