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 Floresville junior setter Maddie Harden, who accomplished the feat during the Jaguars’ win vs. Corpus Christi Calallen in a Class 4A Division I regional semifinals match on Tuesday.

2,000: Career assists for Davenport junior setter Lexi Dahl, who reached the milestone during the defending state champion Wolves’ win vs. Port Lavaca Calhoun in a UIL Class 4A Division I regional semifinal match.

1,000: Career digs for Steele senior Alanna Johnson, who attained the mark during the Knights’ Class 6A Division I regional semifinal match vs. Austin Westlake on Tuesday. She had 17 digs in the contest.

1,000: Total points for Antonian junior guard Shaniyah Fox, who reached the standard during the Apaches’ 75-34 win vs. Brandeis in the championship game of the silver bracket last weekend at the Tip Off in the Tone Tournament.

1,000: Career assists for Ingram junior setter Kenna Nichols, who reached the milestone during the Warriors’ triumph vs. Jim Ned in a Class 3A Division I bidistrict match on Nov. 4. Teammate Alec Alvarado, a junior libero, collected her 1,000th dig in the same contest.
