THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Hoops Rankings amid second round of district; Jay, Johnson making strides
For the vast majority of teams across the state, district races are nearing their end, and it's becoming clearer who will continue their season into February.
The San Antonio area is no different, though some notable changes have occurred since we last examined the city's top teams.
Brennan (24-2; 11-0 in district) remains the team to beat. As the top-ranked team in the state (TABC), the Bears look more than capable of climbing the brackets over the next month.
Although Steele (26-4) has dropped their last two district games (to East Central and Judson), it’s hard to move them down in the rankings given their strong overall performance throughout the season. The Knights will look to rebound in their final three games and remain in an optimal position to claim the 29-6A title.
Wagner, winners of six straight, has locked up the District 26-5A championship with an 11-1 record against their rivals.
The Jay Mustangs continue to build momentum, now at 27-2 and perfect (12-0) in 28-5A, moving up a spot on our list.
Similarly, SA Johnson (22-8; 9-0) is in a commanding position for the upcoming 27-6A title.
Reagan (19-8) and Harlan (17-10) have had solid performances, while Clark (19-9) and East Central (19-11) make their first appearances on our list in 2025.
With that in mind, check out how the premier squads of San Antonio are stacking up with just a couple remaining in the regular season.

THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Final Girls Basketball Rankings with postseason looming; Churchill, San Marcos boosted
And just like that, we’re already approaching the most pivotal time in the winter season.
With just over a week remaining in the regular season, teams across the state have all but punched their tickets to the playoffs and look to close out their district schedule on a high note.
Just as they were earlier this month, Judson remains top dog, not only in San Antonio, but in all of Texas (TABC), boasting a near perfect record of 31-1 and having all the momentum they could ask for.
Trailing just behind the Rockets in 29-6A are the San Marcos Rattlers (23-6), who have surged in the second half of district play, which jumps them up a couple of spots in our rankings.
Wagner (27-3) continues to be an elite force within Class 5A, as does Pieper (24-6), and after the T-Birds won the second meeting against the Warriors, the District 26-5A title could potentially be shared between the two.
Out of 27-6A, Churchill (25-5) has already clinched a district championship after having gone a perfect 11-0 against their counterparts.
Regarding the 4A classification, Fredericksburg (24-6) makes their debut on our list, and look primed for a lengthy run in the coming weeks.
All that being said, it’s time to examine the heavy hitters out of the San Antonio metroplex who we expect to flourish in the ensuing playoffs.
