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
2,000: Career points for Brandeis senior Rian Forestier, who accomplished the feat as the Broncos finished 4-1 at the Buda Hays Hawk Classic on Nov. 30-Dec. 2. Forestier, who signed with Southern California, earlier this season recorded her 1,000th rebound and also has nearly 500 steals, 500 assists and 300 blocks.

1,500: Career points for Harlandale senior Cascia Sandoval, who reached the milestone during the La Vernia tournament on Dec. 7. Sandoval, who is committed to Manhattanville College (N.Y.), is the second Harlandale player to record a points milestone this season. Teammate Marissa Ortiz tallied her 1,000th career points during a 51-45 win vs. Burbank on Nov. 14.

1,000: Total points for Brandeis junior guard Mia Ramos, who attained the mark during the Broncos’ 67-43 win vs. LEE on Dec. 16. Earlier this season, Ramos was named all-tournament after scoring 30 points and helping the Broncos defeat Judson 56-48 in the final of the McDonald’s Texas Invitational in Pasadena.

9: Area athletes selected to Texas High School Coaches Association Super Elite volleyball team. Reagan’s Mya Allen and Harlan’s Aniya Joseph made the Class 6A team. New Braunfels Canyon’s Megan Hawkins and Kerrville Tivy’s Taylor Kubacak made the 5A squad, and Davenport’s Talan Dodson, Logan Strong and Ashtan Dodson are on the 4A team. Stockdale freshman Leann Wise, who notched 677 kills, 447 digs, 210 aces and 41 blocks and had four matches with at least 30 kills, including a season-best 37 vs. Region IV-2A finalist Johnson City, made it in 2A and D’Hanis’ Jessa Frosch made it in 1A.
Allen, a junior outside hitter, was tabbed as 6A offensive player of the year after racking up a school-record 766 kills, surpassing the previous mark of 756 established by Ashlie Reasor in 2013. Talan Dodson, a senior outside hitter who signed with Sam Houston State, was the 4A offensive player of the year after recording 583 kills, including 29 in helping the Wolves capture the UIL state championship with a five-set triumph vs. Canyon Randall.

Notebook
Kickstarter: The UIL high school soccer season gets underway Thursday, the first day teams across Texas are permitted to play their first game. The state tournament is April 10-13 at Birkelbach Field in Georgetown.
A year ago, Smithson Valley (Class 5A) and Boerne (4A) made it to the girls state tournament, each falling in the semifinals to the eventual winner.
LEE is No. 2 and Reagan is No. 7 in Texas Association of Soccer Coaches Organization (TASCO)’s preseason Class 6A boys rankings. Southwest is No. 9 in 5A and Boerne is No. 5 in 4A. On the girls side, Johnson is No. 7 in 6A, Smithson Valley is No. 8 in 5A and Davenport is No. 3 and Boerne is No. 6 in 4A.

National honor: Cornerstone junior outside hitter Megan Fitch was named to the Volleyball magazine All-America team. She received honorable mention.
The 6-foot-1 Fitch, who is committed to Texas A&M and had 459 kills, 328 digs and 43 aces this past season, was previously named to MaxPreps All-America first team.
