THE POWER RANKINGS: Westlake bashes Top 10 teams to solidify top spot in Austin area rankings
05 Jan, 2026
Westlake had themselves a week. It wasn’t just that the Lady Chaparrals swept to the Glenn Holiday Classic tournament title with a perfect 4-0 run; it’s the teams they beat along the way: #2 Glenn (58-45); #3 Vandegrift (54-26); #5 Round Rock (59-39); plus a 15-7 Tivy squad. They followed that up with a 70-46 win over #8 Austin High to open district play. Is it any doubt that Westlake (25-0) remains on top of our first Girls Power Rankings of 2026.
Glenn remains at #2, although it’s almost pick-a-name-out-of-a-hat time for positions #2-10. Liberty Hill moved up to #3, setting up an epic clash between the Lady Grizzlies and Lady Panthers on Tuesday night (1/6). Vandegrift leads a 25/26-6A parade to close out the Top 10, interrupted only by 5A Rouse at #9. The Lady Raiders have a showdown of their own Tuesday with resurgent Cedar Park, who’s cracked the Rankings for the first time this season. 4A New Tech remains the only smaller school in the mix.
With non-stop district play from here through mid-February, we’ll see how the comers and goers all shake out. Here’s where they stand as we head into the new year.

THE POWER RANKINGS: Bowie, Westwood, Vandegrift and Westlake lead tightly bunched Austin area Boys rankings
05 Jan, 2026
One might be tempted to think that playing four or five basketball games in a week would lead to one or two dominant teams emerging from the pack.
One would be wrong.
Despite a plethora of tournaments and district games in the days since Christmas, the top 8 teams remained frozen in place in this week’s Boys Power Rankings. Vista Ridge’s gutsy road win over McNeil slid some pieces around near the bottom of the Rankings. But Bowie remains on top of the pile with Westwood, Vandegrift and Westlake all nipping at the Dawgs’ heels. Bowie hosts Westlake Tuesday night (1/6) in the first of many critical district matchups for these teams.
East View’s 4-1 run in Hays kept the Patriots in the Top 5 and the top 5A team in our rankings.
With the tournament games all packed away with the rest of the Christmas decorations, it’s time to settle in for two months of epic district play. Here’s our first Power Rankings of 2026.
