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 digs for Brandeis senior outside hitter Jalyn Gibson, who reached milestone during the Broncos’ District 28-6A win vs. LEE on Oct. 22. A TCU commit, Gibson joins New Braunfels’ Daniella Villarreal (3,076), Fredericksburg’s Payton Robertson (2,906 digs), Brennan’s Makenna Hanssen (2,503), Clark’s Madison Woods (2,334), La Vernia’s Christa Reyes (2,272), Reagan’s Maddie Correa (2,249), Reagan’s Lydia Niebla (2,215), Navarro’s Sydney Sahd (2,187), Clark’s Mia Ybarra (2,082), East Central’s Brandi Campos (2,073), Holy Cross’ Daisy Flores (2,016), Steele’s Geneva Moreno (2,011) and O’Connor’s Dominique Gonzalez as area players with 2,000 digs.

1,500: Career kills for Kerrville Tivy senior outside hitter Ally Scheidle and career assists for Churchill senior setter Lauren Reynard. Scheidle reached the mark during Tuesday’s District 26-5A finale vs. Dripping Springs, while Reynard, who is committed to Our Lady of the Lake, earned the milestone during Churchill’s win vs. Roosevelt on Oct. 22.

1,000: Career assists for Clemens setter Emily Smith, who reached the plateau during the Buffaloes’ win vs. Judson on Oct. 8.

100: Career wins for O’Connor football coach David Malesky, who secured the mark during the Panthers’ 34-7 triumph vs. Stevens on Oct. 23. Malesky is in his 12th season at O’Connor and 14th overall (he previously coached at Jourdanton). Malesky led O’Connor to the 2012 Class 6A Division I state semifinals. A linebacker on Judson’s 1983 state championship squad, Malesky joined his father Gary in the 100-win club. The elder Malesky had 141 wins during an 18-year career (1971-1988) that included stints at Holmes and Kennedy. His 1980 and ’85 Holmes teams advanced to the Class 5A (now 6A) state semifinals.

73: Consecutive district volleyball matches won by Poth, the area’s longest active streak. The Pirettes extended their mark with Tuesday’s win vs. Natalia to finish 16-0 in District 27-3A. They haven’t lost a district contest since 2015. The 73 wins are No. 5 in area history. Poth also holds the No. 2 mark with 97 consecutive district wins between 2003-2012.

40: Wins this season for the Antonian volleyball team, becoming the 16th area school to accomplish the feat. The Apaches swept Holy Cross on Oct. 23 to join Reagan, Churchill, Johnson, New Braunfels, La Vernia, Navarro, Incarnate Word, Poth, Clark, Brandeis, O’Connor, Alamo Heights, Holy Cross, Clemens and Cornerstone in the 40-win club.

33: Years since the Alamo Heights boys cross country team qualified for the UIL state championships before doing so this year. Led by Ethan Feinstein’s first-place individual finish, the Mules placed third at the Region IV-5A meet on Monday in Corpus Christi to advance to state for the first time since 1988. Alamo Heights was fourth at state that season. The state meet is Nov. 5-6 at Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock.

15: Years that have passed since Burbank last won a district championship in volleyball. The Bulldogs defeated Lanier Tuesday to claim an undefeated (16-0) District 27-5A crown, earning them their first league crown since 2006 and only their second in the 50 seasons that the San Antonio ISD has sponsored the sport.

Notebook
In memoriam: Steve Golemon, who coached the Bandera girls cross country team to four straight UIL Class 3A state championships, died Oct. 19 of an apparent heart attack. He was 77.
Golemon’s death came eight days after he guided the Llano girls team to the District 25-3A cross country title and the boys team to a third-place finish. Both squads advanced to the Region IV-3A meet.
A Kerrville Tivy graduate, Golemon led Bandera to state titles in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. He also guided Llano to a cross country state crown in 2000 and the Woodsboro boys to the 1992 state track title. He also had coaching stints at Georgetown and Giddings during a 50-year career.
Golemon’s funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at the Riverside Church of Christ in Kerrville.
