From the hardwood to the gridiron and beyond, taking a look back and ahead at the San Antonio-area high school sports landscape:

By the numbers
3,000: Career assists for Steele senior setter Carly Dossett, who reached the milestone during the Knights’ District 27-6A win Tuesday vs. New Braunfels.

600: Career wins for New Braunfels volleyball coach Kate Zora, who reached the total during the Unicorns’ sweep over Judson on Oct. 6. Zora is in her second season at New Braunfels and 22nd overall. She previously coached at Klein, A&M Consolidated and Round Rock Westwood. Zora guided Klein to the UIL Class 6A state final in 2020 and has guided her teams to the regional tournament eight times.

200: Wins for Cornerstone volleyball coach Mike Carter during his six seasons at the school. Carter reached the total during the Warriors’ 25-13, 25-14 victory over Sunrise Mountain of Arizona in the semifinals of the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix on Sept. 30. Carter has 1,080 wins overall during a 34-year career that includes stints at Randolph, Holmes and Reagan. He is the area’s winningest coach and No. 4 in Texas history, behind only Bellville’s Susan Brewer, Port Neches-Groves’ Barbara Comeaux and Amarillo High’s Jan Barker.

5: Days until the UIL allows girls basketball teams across the state to conduct their first after-school practice on Oct. 18. The season begins on Nov. 3 and concludes Feb. 29-March 2 with the state tournament at the Alamodome. Clark is the defending Class 6A state champion, while Wagner (5A) and Boerne (4A) advanced to the state semifinals a year ago.
