Atascocita, Cypress Park, Deer Park and Stratford had big Class 6A wins last weekend to move up or into the Class 6A Top 20 ranking powered by Kelly Malatesta of First United Bank.

The Eagles knocked off undefeated and Top 10 team CE King in a lopsided match-up, while Cypress Park took down Bridgeland. Deer Park bounced Dobie out of the Top 20, while Stratford went to 7-0 with a big neighborhood win over Memorial.

It's Week 8 in high school football in Houston and the playoff picture is getting clearer by the week.

THE SETUP: No. 4 Fulshear | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings

Among the select few organizations that can be considered the “gold standard” in H-Town, Fulshear delivered another strong showing last fall. Even with a relatively young roster, the Chargers finished 34-11, a run that ultimately ended in the Regional Semifinals against eventual 6A Division I runner-up Dawson.

Rest assured, Fulshear remains firmly in the State conversation under head coach Sydney Zimmerman.

Fresh off a fourth straight district title, Clear Springs closed 2025 at 35-11, falling to Dawson in the Area Round. The Eagles later turned that win into an unprecedented run to the UIL State Tournament. It may be a hot take, but the Chargers appear next in line to take a similar step forward. Region III is shaping up to be a free-for-all in November, but this roster feels too loaded to anticipate anything less.

The most dangerous weapon in head coach Shannon McClellen’s arsenal remains defending District MVP Caylee Young. Now a senior, the Texas Tech commit posted 518 kills, 383 digs, and 728 serve receptions.

FROM RHYTHM TO RANGE: Csernik’s evolution into Klein Oak’s centerpiece and future Miami standout

Camille Csernik didn’t take the traditional path to becoming a complete weapon on the Texas volleyball scene—but she’s arrived all the same.

At Klein Oak, that arrival has come at a pivotal moment in the program’s ascension. Collectively, the Panthers turned in an impressive 36-13 campaign a season ago, finishing second in the district standings behind Tomball before a tough opening-round playoff loss to Bridgeland. Even so, the foundation of a contender was clear—and so was Csernik’s impact.
