Welcome to Week 6 of High School Football Season!
Welcome to week six of the high school football season in San Antonio, where the regular season is already halfway through. The stakes are rising as we dive into district competition, with this week’s Big Game Coverage Game of the Week highlighting a matchup between top-ranked Steele (4-1) and 10th-ranked East Central (4-1).
Last week, both teams opened their District 29-6A schedules with impressive wins, setting the stage for an intense showdown this week. The district is fierce, with only a few unbeaten teams left, making every game a must-win.
Steele’s senior wide receiver, Jalen Cooper, emphasized the importance of each game, stating, “It’s either win or go home basically.” The level of competition in District 29-6A pushes teams to perform at their best every week.
Both Steele and East Central have had tough non-district schedules to prepare for this challenging district. Finding weaknesses early in the season has been crucial for both teams, as they gear up for a competitive district run.
Steele has showcased a dominant performance this season, despite a single loss. Led by coach David Saenz and talented players like Chad Warner, the Knights are a force to be reckoned with. On the other hand, East Central has also shown promise with an impressive resume, with their only loss coming in Week 1.
The familiarity between the players adds an extra layer of excitement to this matchup, as many have grown up alongside each other. The game promises to be a thrilling battle between two well-prepared teams.
The Knights will face off against the Hornets at Lehnhoff Stadium on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Be sure to catch the highlights and postgame reactions on the Nightbeat after the game.
