Playoff contenders surge as Boerne Champion slips in latest Express-News Top 20
Meanwhile, Brandeis has surged six spots to No. 14 following a commanding 44-0 shutout of Taft, a result that officially secured their playoff berth. The Knights are now poised to clinch at least a share of the District 27-6A championship in their upcoming Friday contest against New Braunfels Canyon at Lehnhoff Stadium. This offensive explosion underscores their readiness for the postseason, marking a significant leap in their ranking and overall team momentum.
The rankings also reflect a tough week for Boerne Champion, which dropped one position to No. 7 after a narrow defeat to No. 2 Smithson Valley. Despite the loss, the Rangers maintained their status as a top-tier team, having locked up at least a share of the District 13-5A-I title with their win over Boerne Champion earlier in the season. As the regular season winds down, these shifts in the Top 20 highlight the intense competition among the region’s premier programs, with every remaining game carrying significant weight for seeding and playoff positioning.
