Del Rio defeats Medina Valley 74-55 in Castroville district game

Del Rio defeated Medina Valley 74-55 at Medina Valley High School in Castroville on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, recording what local reporting called a district victory. The Rams' win at the Panthers' gym split the season series between the two programs after an earlier meeting in January.

The result gives Del Rio a clear win margin in the rematch; Del Rio scored 74 points to Medina Valley's 55. Public game records list the Feb. 6 score as Del Rio 74, Medina Valley 55 and identify the site as Medina Valley High School in Castroville. The local report described the game as "a district victory," a designation that carries implications for seeding and postseason positioning as district play tightens.

The Feb. 6 outcome reversed a Jan. 13 meeting in which Del Rio dropped a 58-61 decision at Del Rio High School. Del Rio's run through late January included a series of close contests: a 66-62 road win at Laredo LBJ on Jan. 20, a 60-58 home victory over Alexander on Jan. 23, a 59-58 road win at United on Jan. 27, and a 51-56 home loss to United South on Jan. 30. Those narrow margins framed Del Rio's Feb. 6 performance as a chance for the Rams to demonstrate clearer separation against a familiar opponent.

For Val Verde County fans and school communities, the split with Medina Valley underscores a competitive district landscape where single-possession games have been common. Del Rio's stronger showing in Castroville could influence district-table dynamics as schools approach the postseason window. Medina Valley will need to regroup quickly if it aims to reclaim ground in the district standings.
