THE HIERARCHY: VYPE SATX 2025 Week 4 Football Rankings; Davenport moves up with shootout victory
As the non-district slate nears its close, San Antonio-area programs are beginning to settle into form — and so are the rankings. While most of the Top-10 remains intact heading into Week 4, a few notable shifts suggest there’s still plenty of movement to come.
Cibolo Steele maintains its grip on the top spot after handling Brandeis with ease. The Knights’ upcoming road trip to Westlake looms large, offering an early-season litmus test against one of the state’s premier programs.
Brennan remains firmly in the mix after a dominant win of its own, with an intriguing matchup against fellow unbeaten Harlan set for Saturday.
Smithson Valley stays in the top three following a bounce-back win, while Johnson and New Braunfels continue to take care of business behind them. Each has showcased steady improvement and should be well-positioned heading into district play.
Further down the list, several 5A squads — including Alamo Heights and Boerne — continue to build momentum, but it’s 4A Davenport that made the loudest statement. The Wolves edged Pieper in a high-scoring thriller, not only preserving their perfect record but also climbing into the spotlight among higher-class programs.
Though early trends are beginning to take shape, the picture is far from complete. With multiple ranked matchups ahead, Week 4 has the potential to shake up the hierarchy — or further cement it.

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE SATX 2025 Week 3 Football Rankings; Brennan, Alamo Heights make noticeable strides
With two weeks of the season already in the books, the competitive landscape in the San Antonio area is beginning to take on a more defined shape. While most teams are still fine-tuning their identities, early-season results have already offered insight into which programs are built for staying power.
At the top, Cibolo Steele continues to look sharp on both sides of the ball, following up its opening win with a convincing 28-13 victory over Reagan. The Knights return home this Friday to take on Brandeis.
Right behind them, Brennan picked up one of the most notable wins of the week, outlasting the 2024 UIL 5A-D1 State Champions, Smithson Valley, in last Thursday’s contest.
This should provide the Bears plenty of confidence as they hit the road for a matchup with Sotomayor, while the Rangers expect to bounce back against Madison.
Harlan remains unbeaten after edging out Madison and heads into a bye week with plenty to build on. Johnson, meanwhile, is 2-0 after a composed win over Pieper and will host McAllen Memorial in a non-district test.
New Braunfels and Alamo Heights have both opened with comfortable wins, with the Mules putting up 54 points last week ahead of their clash with Comal Canyon.
Pieper and Boerne have both shown early promise, while Davenport — the lone 4A representative in the Top 10 — has overwhelmed its first two opponents, racking up 66 points in last week’s rout of Tivy. However, the Wolves face a tougher challenge this Friday in a road game against Pieper.
With Week 3 on deck, matchups across classifications could start to reveal which teams are equipped to carry early success into the heart of the season.
