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: Days until the scheduled first pitch of the UIL baseball season. The state tournament is slated for June 9-12. The 2020 campaign was canceled just as teams were about to start district competition. D’Hanis won the Class 1A title in 2019, Blanco was the 3A runner-up and La Vernia was 4A state semifinalist.

100: Career wins for South San girls basketball coach Jacob Alegria, who reached the standard during the Bobcats’ 56-40 decision vs. Smithson Valley on Feb. 2.

150: Career victories for Boerne Champion girls basketball coach Marsha Hammond, who attained the milestone during the Chargers’ 59-58 win vs. Leander Glenn in Class 5A bidistrict contest on Feb. 12. Hammond is in her sixth season at Champion and eighth overall and previously coached at New Braunfels Canyon.

200: Career wins for Fredericksburg girls basketball coach Carrie Grona, who accomplished the feat during the Battlin’ Billies’ 50-42 triumph vs. Boerne on Feb. 2. Grona guided Fredericksburg to the UIL Class 4A state tournament a year ago.

Notebook
Date changes: The UIL Class 6A and 5A girls state swimming and diving championships, originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday at North East ISD’s Davis Natatorium and Walker Pool, has been postponed to March 1-2 because of expected power outages and water shortages in San Antonio .
The 6A competition is on March 1 and 5A is on March 2. Swimming prelims begin at 10 a.m. on each day, with diving at 2 p.m. and swimming finals at 5 p.m. The boys state meet is still scheduled for Feb. 26-27.
The UIL also announced that the girls basketball state finals will be played March 10-11 and the boys finales will be March 12-13 at the Alamodome. The moves are a result of games being interrupted by statewide severe weather.
