Get ready for a wet one, San Antonio! Week 6 of Texas high school football is kicking off with rain and thunderstorms expected across the state, especially here in the San Antonio area. Forecasters are calling for the highest chances of storms on Thursday and Friday mornings, but scattered thunderstorms and showers could still hit in the evenings, meaning some games might get interesting.
Thursday’s Kickoff: Can Anyone Stop Brennan?
Despite the looming clouds, the action starts hot on Thursday night. District 28-6A sees LEE (3-1, 0-1) take on Roosevelt (2-2, 1-0) at Heroes Stadium. Roosevelt owns this series, a massive 40-19 lead, and they just stomped LEE 44-7 last year. LEE hasn’t won against Roosevelt since way back in 2014, so they’ve got their work cut out for them. Then in District 29-6A, Brennan (4-1, 3-0) faces Holmes (1-3, 0-2) at Gustafson Stadium. Brennan has absolutely dominated this series 13-1, winning their most recent meeting 2011-25. Holmes’ last win was in 2010, a 41-0 shutout. Can Holmes even hang? Also in 29-6A, Marshall (1-3, 0-2) squares off against Taft (3-2, 1-2) at Farris Stadium, with Taft leading that series 20-16-1.
Moving into the 5A ranks, District 13-5A-I features an undefeated Smithson Valley (4-0, 3-0) going up against Kyle Lehman (2-3, 1-2) at Shelton Stadium. Smithson Valley leads this series 4-0, and Kyle Lehman has never won against them. That’s a serious test for Lehman. Over in District 14-5A-I, Jay (1-3, 1-0) meets Laredo Nixon (1-3, 0-1) at Shirley Field, where Jay holds a 4-0 series lead, another team looking for their first-ever win. Finally, District 14-5A-II brings Sam Houston (3-2, 2-1) against Lanier (3-2, 2-1) at the SAISD Complex. Sam Houston leads that series 35-11, but Lanier did snag a tight 8-7 win in 2022, so maybe there’s hope for an upset!
Friday Night Lights (and Thunderstorms): Boerne Champion’s Unbeaten Run
Friday promises even more gridiron drama, assuming the skies cooperate. District 28-6A features a big one: Brandeis (2-2, 0-1) vs. Johnson (3-0, 1-0) at Comalander Stadium. Brandeis has the series lead 11-10, but Johnson took last year’s game 42-28. Then you’ve got Churchill (1-3, 1-0) battling Reagan (1-3, 1-0) at Heroes Stadium. Reagan is way up 22-4 in that series. Can Churchill turn it around from their 36-25 loss last year? Their last win in the series was back in 2006!
In District 29-6A, Stevens (0-5, 0-3) is still searching for a win as they face O’Connor (2-2, 1-1) at Farris Stadium. O’Connor leads that series 13-8, and they crushed Stevens 38-6 last year. Stevens’ last win in the series was in 2022. Also, Warren (3-2, 2-1) and Sotomayor (3-2, 2-1) are squaring off at Gustafson Stadium in a series that’s tied up 2-2. Sotomayor won a close one last year, 40-35. But the real highlight of Friday’s action has to be District 13-5A-I where undefeated Boerne Champion (5-0, 3-0) puts their perfect record on the line against Lockhart (3-1, 1-1) at Lions Stadium. Boerne Champion is crushing that series 9-1. Can Lockhart pull off the upset and hand Boerne Champion their first loss?
So, get ready San Antonio! Week 6 is going to be a wild one. Keep an eye on the skies and those incredible matchups. We’ll be looking to see if the rain shakes things up for these teams, and if Boerne Champion and Smithson Valley can keep their perfect seasons going!
