Alamo Heights quarterback Easton Stone has been voted Express-News Athlete of the Week, a well-deserved recognition after he absolutely shredded Liberty Hill. His stellar play powered the Mules to a massive 63-31 victory, keeping them firmly in the District 13-5A-II title hunt. This senior isn’t just playing well; he’s leading a potent offense that looks like a real threat.
Stone’s Dominance Against Liberty Hill Sets the Tone
Stone completely answered the call in that showdown against Liberty Hill, a true Class 5A power. He completed 15 of 21 passes for an impressive 276 yards and tossed four touchdowns. That’s a huge stat line, especially in a game where his team put up 63 points. This wasn’t just a one-off either; Stone is continuing what has been a truly strong senior campaign. The Mules’ offense was practically perfect against the Panthers, and Stone was the undeniable engine driving that success.
Mules Are Grinding in the District Title Hunt
That big win over Liberty Hill moved Alamo Heights to a 6-1 overall record, with a 2-1 mark in District 13-5A-II play. They’re now tied for second place in the district alongside Liberty Hill and Liberty Hill Legacy Ranch, sitting just one loss behind undefeated Boerne. Remember that heartbreaker against Boerne, a 38-31 loss in their district opener? The Mules are clearly out for redemption, and with Stone performing at this level, they’ve got every reason to believe they can stay in this hunt for the district title. Every single game is massive for them right now.
Other Standouts Light Up the Week
While Stone took the top honor, he was up against some serious talent. Devine junior Enoch Hall put on a show for the Warhorses, averaging 14.5 yards per carry and racking up 160 rushing yards and five touchdowns in their 47-6 victory over Poteet, earning Offensive Player of the Week. On the defensive side, Brandeis junior Ah’maury Hamilton was a tackling machine, recording 19 tackles in a vital 33-29 win over Churchill, which was their first 28-6A win and helped their playoff hopes. Alamo Heights also had sophomore Mia Moshier named Volleyball Player of the Week for combining for 41 kills in two wins, including a 25-kill, 19-dig, four-block performance. And San Antonio Christian junior Sara Cleveland notched her 1,000th career kill amidst a three-match stretch where she combined for 44 kills, 11 blocks, and 31 digs.
With Alamo Heights tied for second in District 13-5A-II, just one loss behind undefeated Boerne, the stakes are incredibly high. If Stone keeps lighting up the scoreboard like he did against Liberty Hill, the Mules have a real shot at that title. You’ve got to watch what happens next.
