For instance, in District 16-6A, Bridgeland (10-2) closes out its schedule with Cypress Ranch (12-0) and Cypress Woods (10-2) — with the latter being the more significant, as Cy Woods holds the tiebreaker after defeating the Bears in five sets last month.
Fulshear (7-1 in 20-6A) currently has that same edge over Foster (7-1), while Memorial (12-0 in 17-6A) is one up on Stratford (11-1) — each pair set to meet in the next few days. It’s the final bit of drama before fan bases turn their attention to the postseason.
At the top of Class 6A, Dawson (34-4), Grand Oaks (31-8), and Tompkins (32-5) continue to set the tone, each closing dominant district runs with legitimate State aspirations.
Tomball and Clear Springs remain firmly in the mix, while College Park and Ridge Point have found their stride late — both capable of shaking up the bracket once the playoff lights come on.
In Class 5A, Friendswood (31-8) has reasserted itself as the clear-cut favorite, though Barbers Hill (36-5) and Montgomery (34-9) have earned their share of praise. West Fork (37-5) has emerged as a sneaky-good contender, while Lake Creek (18-21) has begun piecing things together down the stretch.
It’s always a battle when it comes to the LSA–FBCA rivalry, and Lutheran South Academy (26-6) has proven capable of winning the scrappy contests, making the Pioneers the private school headliner entering the TAPPS-5A playoffs. Concordia Lutheran continues to flex in TAPPS-6A, while St. John’s School, Episcopal, and John Cooper remain names to watch in SPC play.
Now, with brackets nearly set and the margins razor-thin, the stage is built for Houston’s elite to make their postseason statement.
