The 2025-2026 high school sports season is in the rearview mirror. However, as July and fall practices come into the picture, the San Angelo Standard-Times wants fans and community members to vote on which school they believe has the top fanbase in the West Texas, San Angelo area.
For this poll, the Standard-Times will only include the 41 school districts in its coverage area. The poll will be split across three weeks of voting. The first week will include all 40 schools, the second will have the top 20 and the final poll will be a showdown of who fans voted in the top 10.
The poll will run from Monday to 11 a.m. Thursday, and the top 20 will move on to the next round.
