No. 20 -- Clear Creek Wildcats

Few could have predicted that last year’s Clear Creek squad would reset the standard. Yet the League City team broke the mold in 2025, proving that in this sport, anything is possible when a group has the will to achieve it. With coach Katherine Morton back at the helm, the Wildcats aim to recapture the magic of their 20-8 season, when they advanced four rounds into the 6A Division II playoffs and faced Kingwood in the Region III Final—matching Clear Creek’s deepest playoff run since 2009.

No. 17 -- Crosby Cougars

The numbers only tell part of Crosby’s story. A 19-9 record and an Area Round appearance in 2025 marked tangible progress, but it was the Cougars’ first district championship in over 20 years that signaled a program trending upward under District 18-5A Coach of the Year Troy Fox.
