Friday Night Lights: 73 San Antonio Games Tonight, Headlined by No. 1 Cornerstone Christian and Smithson Valley at Seguin
San Antonio's Friday slate runs to 73 games, with top-ranked Cornerstone Christian hosting Arizona's AZ Compass Prep and No. 3 Smithson Valley traveling to Seguin — on a statewide night of 552 UIL games.
It is the biggest kind of Friday night in San Antonio high school football: 73 games across the area tonight, according to MaxPreps' San Antonio scoreboard read this cycle, on a statewide slate of 552 UIL games Friday, according to Sports Illustrated's Texas schedule. The featured San Antonio matchups put the area's top-ranked teams on display — No. 1 Cornerstone Christian (San Antonio) hosts AZ Compass Prep of Chandler, Arizona, and No. 3 Smithson Valley (Spring Branch) travels to Seguin.
The local card runs deep beyond the headliners. Sam Houston meets Highlands at 7 p.m., San Antonio Christian faces Regents, and San Antonio Memorial plays Gonzales, all on SI's October 30 schedule listing; area coaches' previews this week also circled Brackenridge against Harlandale, Clemens against Pieper, Canyon against Steele, and Medina Valley against Jay among the Friday games to watch. Kickoffs across the area run from a 5 p.m. first game to the standard 7 p.m. starts.
Statewide, the night carries 19 games featuring ranked teams, highlighted by a trio of matchups with Top 25 teams facing undefeated opponents: No. 3 Randle squares off with 8-0 Angleton, No. 14 Celina faces 7-0 Anna, and No. 23 Westlake hosts 7-0 Cedar Ridge, according to SI. This preview is the desk's evening file; the Friday high school roundup, with finals, files by 23:30 tonight once the games are played — no scores are carried here, because none have happened yet.
