With four-time regional champion Liberty Hill moving over to Region III, the door has certainly opened up in South Texas for a new champion to emerge. Could Alamo Heights be the team that ascends to the top, or does Boerne up from 4A make a push after playing for a state title in 2022? Or does Division I drop down Corpus Christi Miller finally get over the hump?
There’s two San Antonio metro districts in 5A-Division II and they are split into two different regions, the inner city district moved to Region III, while the outer suburb heavy district remains in Region IV. Alamo Heights enters as the heavy favorite after back-to-back 12-1 seasons and the Mules have what most consider the region’s top player, but do they have enough firepower to push into a semifinal? Boerne’s been a power at the 4A level, but can the Greyhounds replicate that success moving up a classification? Tivy is a sleeper as the Antlers return a loaded offense and the battle for fourth should be intriguing with Veterans Memorial and Victoria West battling it out, both teams earned playoff wins a year ago, with West pushing to the regional semifinals.
