In recent years, it has almost become expected that Grand Oaks would make extended playoff runs—a reflection of the consistency and development instilled by head coach Morgan Rogers and her staff.

This past campaign followed a familiar script, as the Grizzlies captured another undefeated district title before advancing to the Region II Final, where they fell to Cypress Ranch, narrowly missing a chance at a third consecutive UIL state championship and closing the year at 37-9.

THE SETUP: No. 8 Shadow Creek | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings

Injuries are an unfortunate reality of the game, and few teams understand that better than Shadow Creek.

The Lady Sharks were hit hard by the injury bug in 2025, with several key contributors sidelined for significant stretches of the season. Even so, head coach Whitney Daniel’s squad weathered the adversity, finishing third in the district standings and advancing to the Area Round while compiling a 29-16 record.

THE SETUP: No. 9 Montgomery | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Montgomery Bears volleyball team.

Montgomery pieced together one of its most complete bodies of work (37-11) to date under head coach Stormi Champion last fall. The Lady Bears compiled a 37-11 record and advanced to the 5A Division II Regional Semifinals, where their momentum was halted by Georgetown in four sets.

The district slate remains as challenging as ever, including state finalist A&M Consolidated, College Station, and Lake Creek. Even so, there is ample reason to assume Montgomery can sustain its explosiveness on the attack.
