BOYS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: Stony Point stays at the top and looks like the team to beat in 6A for the region, though I'm sure number 2 San Marcos wants another shot at them. They are coming off a thrilling buzzer beating win over district foe Clemens. Buda Johnson moves into the rankings after handling Westlake and San Antonio Veterans Memorial and New Braunfels jump into the rankings to round out our Top 10. The end of the season should be exciting with a handful of these teams about to play one another.
1A-4A: Boerne and Pleasanton are still the team to beat in district. Pleasanton got the best of Somerset in their first district game but that rematch will be one to watch. Meanwhile Nixon-Smiley finds themselves in the rankings for the first time of the season.
PRIVATE SCHOOL: Antonian jumps over Central Catholic after their head-to-head victory and Regents jumps into the rankings after defeating the previous number 5 Brentwood.
GIRLS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: Clark is still the best in 6A in the region. After that arguments can be made as to who should be where, in my opinion, when talking about 2-7. Austin and San Antonio is that contested. After that Glenn makes their way into the rankings sitting at 21-4 on the season.
1A-4A: Boerne jumps over Fredericksburg after their head-to-head win and that rematch will be a must watch. Beeville Jones jumps to 3 and Navarro settles in at 4. They lost to both Boerne and Fredericksburg and will look to try and exact some payback in the 2nd half of district. But if you're asking me now Boerne and Fredericksburg are a step above and should contend for a title this year.
PRIVATE SCHOOL: Antonian Prep stays at number 1 and Geneva jumps into the 2 spot. Other than that no change in the teams in the top 5, just their placement.

BOYS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: 5A and 6A could be very interesting to pay attention to this year in Austin and San Antonio. Brennan and Westlake take the top 2 spots with Westlake coming off a state semi-final run last year. San Marcos is also a team you will want to pay attention to with a very senior heavy team, this is one that could make some noise this year.
1A-4A: Boerne is fresh off a state semi-final run themselves and looks to take the next step this year. Pleasanton is also a team to watch in 4A and may have its best squad since their Regional Final run in the 2019-2020 season. Meanwhile Cole came up just short last season to Dallas Madison in the State Finals.
Private School: Antonian Prep is the top team heading into the season and will look to make it further this season than last years run. St. Michael's is another team to pay attention to.
GIRLS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: The most interesting team to pay attention to this season will be Cedar Park. While they are back-to-back state champions and just had their 62 game winning streak snapped against Wagner, they are without who would have arguably been their best player in Gisella Maul who decided to forego who senior year to early enroll at the University of Texas where she is committed to play basketball. Meanwhile Clark takes the top spot after their semi-final run last year. A big time game happening tonight? Clark taking on Wagner who has already beat Cedar Park to start the year
1A-4A: Fredericksburg comes off a great season last year and hopes to repeat that this season. One team that will hope to stop them? District opponent Boerne who comes in ranked number 2.
Private School: Antonian, like the boys squad, takes the top spot, and hopes to take home a state title after being state runners up last year. Hyde Park, Geneva, Lutheran San Antonio and Shiner St. Paul round up the top 5.
