In the Houston area, The Woodlands (27-4-1) turned heads with an undefeated run through District 13-6A—no small feat given the talent level in that region.
Memorial (25-3-1) has enjoyed a dominant spring and enters the playoffs as our No. 2-ranked squad, poised for a deep run.
Kingwood also remains one of the top programs heading into the opening round. The Mustangs (28-3) shared the District 23-6A title with Atascocita (22-9-2), though the two won’t cross paths in the postseason due to divisional alignment.
Defending UIL 6A state champion Tomball (24-6-1) remains a threat, anchored by one of the deepest bullpens in the state, while Cy Ranch continues its surge into the Top 10.
Also worth watching are Barbers Hill, Katy, Bridgeland, Pearland, and Kingwood Park—all capable of making serious noise in their respective brackets.
In the Private School ranks, Lutheran South Academy and Second Baptist may be on a collision course in TAPPS-DII, while Concordia Lutheran and St. Thomas headline TAPPS-DI. Over in SPC-4A, Kinkaid and Episcopal look like early favorites.
Suffice it to say, Houston is loaded with playoff-caliber talent—and the next few weeks should put that on full display.
