In its second game of district play, San Marcos hosts the reigning champion of District 27-6A in Cibolo Steele.
The Knights are coming off a year in which they went 11-1 overall, going two rounds deep in the playoffs, and 7-0 in district play, claiming their second consecutive title. Head coach David Saenz is set up for another strong year, returning 46 lettermen, including 13 starters — eight on offense and five on defense.
The offense, which averaged 350 yards and 29.7 points per game in 2021, should pick up right where it left off with nearly the entire starting lineup back. Senior quarterback Connor Vincent completed 114-175 passes for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns with two interceptions. He’ll retain his top target in Edmarrion Contreras, who posted 51 receptions for 756 yards and five scores. Senior running back Jaydon Bailey, who committed to Utah State on July 29, will look to improve on his 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns from last season.
