Meanwhile, Grand Oaks and Tompkins remain formidable threats, each knocking off a bevy of top-tier opponents in their respective regions.
Tomball is one of the biggest risers, surging into the top five after statement wins over Cypress Ranch and Seven Lakes — both of whom remain solid Top-10 programs. Cypress Ranch, while still awaiting district play, continue to be a team worth reckoning, given their veteran lineup and preseason expectations.
Also trending upward is Clear Springs, fresh off a runner-up finish at the CCISD Tournament, giving them momentum heading into District 24-6A action.
Further down the rankings, programs like Oak Ridge, Manvel, and Klein Oak are quietly building midseason momentum, while Ridge Point appears to have found its footing just in time for the thick of District 21-6A play.
Additionally, Cypress Woods is another notable squad as District 16-6A gets underway — they’ve compiled an impressive record and could rise quickly.
In Class 5A, the landscape remains relatively unchanged. Friendswood, Barbers Hill, and Montgomery continue to anchor the top three, each looking sharp heading into district competition. West Fork’s 27-4 mark makes them a sneaky threat in 18-5A, while Lake Creek, despite a tougher start, rounds out the Top 5.
As district play unfolds, expect more shakeups — especially in the highly competitive 6A landscape — as contenders begin to emerge from the crowded middle tier.
