HOOPS HIERARCHY: NoCro, Little Elm, Heritage Lead VYPE DFW B-Ball Rankings as League Play Intensifies

Matthew Ogle
17 Jan, 2026

As the boys basketball season moves past the midway point of district play, the latest VYPE Dallas-Fort Worth rankings showcase a mix of consistency at the top and rising teams making their mark.

North Crowley has cemented itself as the region’s top team, going 20-3 overall and undefeated in district action. The Panthers’ balance and depth have allowed them to remain steady through both non-district and early league tests. Close on their heels, Little Elm has surged to a 21-2 record, also unblemished in district play, continuing a season that has positioned the Lobos as strong contenders for a district crown.

15 Jan, 2026

As district races begin to settle into rhythm, the latest VYPE combined girls basketball rankings reflect a landscape defined by momentum rather than margin. The second half of league play has arrived with contenders asserting themselves, challengers closing ground, and little room for complacency as postseason positioning quietly comes into focus.

Defending 5A Division I state champion Denton Ryan has surged to the top of the rankings, backing up its lofty status with a 24–4 overall mark and an unblemished district start. A recent statement win over fellow heavyweight Argyle further solidified the Raiders’ standing, though the Eagles remain firmly in the mix as one of the area’s most battle-tested groups.
