The Legacy Ranch Wranglers have done everything in their power to embrace the history and pedigree of Liberty Hill ISD while carving out their own identity and traditions as the district’s newest high school. When the Wranglers step onto their brand-new field at “The Ranch” Friday night (8/28) to begin their first full season of varsity play, they’ll face a team that knows the feeling.
It wasn’t all that long ago, after all, that Manor New Tech was the new kid on the block. The Titans eased onto the Austin area scene with minimal fanfare eight years ago as the second, smaller school in Manor ISD.
That’s why, even with all the blue blood programs in the area, this historic first game for Legacy Ranch against Manor New Tech is our first 2026 VYPE Central Texas Game of the Week.
Coach Tim Knicky’s Wranglers have quietly laid the groundwork for their debut. Following a successful all-freshman campaign in 2024, the Wranglers posted an 8-2 mark last year with seven of those games involving JV opponents. Still a year removed from having a senior class, the Wranglers will make their debut in a brutal, head-scratching and bizarrely drawn District 13-5A-2 that lumps them and cross-town rival Liberty Hill in the same district as schools from New Braunfels and the San Antonio area. They’ll have to grow up fast.
New Tech has struggled since the program’s inception, but head coach Derrick Lewis seems to have the Titans heading in the right direction as he begins his third season at the helm. The Titans finished the regular season at the .500 mark for the first time in program history last season and made their first-ever playoff appearance. They’ll compete for a playoff spot in a compact 6-team District 14-4A-2 that features smaller school powerhouses Wimberley, Giddings and Lago Vista.
Some new teams burst on the scene and achieve immediate success; others, it takes a little while longer. When Legacy Ranch hosts Manor New Tech – in a matchup featuring two former NFL players as head coaches -- casual fans will get a chance to check out two fresh faces on the Austin area high school football scene.
