Week 4 is here, and San Antonio high school football is diving headfirst into district play for most teams, setting the stage for some absolute bangers right out of the gate. While District 28-6A gets an open week, the rest of the area is not holding back, especially with the “Game of the Week” featuring Warren and Harlan. These two are on a collision course, looking for that inside track to contend for the 29-6A crown. It’s a clash of styles, and believe me, you do not want to miss this one.
Warren and Harlan: A Battle for 29-6A Supremacy
The marquee matchup for Week 4 pits Warren, sitting at 2-1 with a 1-0 district record, against Harlan, also 2-1 and 1-0 in district play. This game, kicking off Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Farris Stadium, is huge. Harlan leads the series 6-0, and their most recent meeting in 2025 was a dominant 49-7 win. Warren has never beaten Harlan, and if they want to make a real statement for the 29-6A crown, now is the time to snap that streak. This is more than just a win, it is about proving who the top dog is in District 29-6A right now.
District Play Heats Up Across the Area
Thursday night brings some intense district action too. In District 29-6A, Holmes, at 1-2 and 0-1, faces O’Connor, who stands at 1-1 and 0-0 in district. O’Connor holds a commanding 21-5 series lead and took the last game 52-28 in 2025. Holmes’ last win was way back in 2021, so they have a mountain to climb at Gustafson Stadium. Over in District 14-5A-II, we have an 0-3 vs. 0-3 showdown between Highlands and Edison at Alamo Stadium. Highlands leads that series 28-14-1, crushing Edison 65-6 last year. However, Edison got a win in 2024, so they know they can do it. Then you have Harlandale (1-2, 1-0) against Lanier (2-1, 1-0) at the SAISD Complex. Harlandale leads that series 21-3, and get this, Lanier’s last victory against them was in 1976! That is a stat that screams “historic comeback potential” if Lanier can pull it off.
Friday’s schedule is stacked with more district openers. Clemens (3-0, 0-0) goes up against Judson (0-2, 0-0) at Rutledge Stadium. Judson leads that series 22-13 and won last year’s tight contest 31-28. New Braunfels Canyon (2-1, 0-0) also kicks off their district slate against East Central (1-2, 0-0) at Hornet Stadium, while Wagner (1-1, 0-0) takes on Steele (1-1-1, 0-0) at Lehnhoff Stadium. Steele has an 8-0 perfect record against Wagner. These teams are all fighting to get that crucial first district win. Next week, almost all districts will have joined the party, so these early games are critical for setting the tone. Get ready for some wild finishes.
