The stars of 2025-26 Friendswood Volleyball
The final week of the regular season has arrived, and with it, the closing stretch of an eventful fall across Houston volleyball.
While the vast majority of districts have more or less been decided, there are still a handful of situations where the final standings — and subsequent playoff divisional placement — could potentially be shifted around with a couple matches remaining in the regular season.
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.

College Park takes down The Woodlands in instant classic
In the VYPE Game of the Week, College Park all but secured its district crown with a statement win over The Woodlands—a program that had long dominated the crosstown rivalry.
Under coach Kyle Coats, the Cavaliers have emerged as one of the most complete teams in Greater Houston. With dynamic playmakers on the perimeter, steady quarterback play, and a disciplined defense, College Park is proving it belongs in the conversation among the region’s best. The small 6A program has become a legitimate postseason threat.
Elsewhere, the Big Four of District 23-6A—North Shore, CE King, Summer Creek, and Atascocita—all flexed their muscle over the weekend. The Eagles’ win over Kingwood likely solidified their playoff standing, while North Shore and CE King continued their dominant runs.
In District 19-6A, No. 9 Katy continued to roll, staying unbeaten in league play with a win over Jordan. No. 12 Bridgeland knocked Waller out of the Top 25 after a decisive victory.
On the coast, Clear Falls jumps into the Top 25 after a 14-point win over No. 15 Clear Springs, while Shadow Creekreclaims the No. 25 spot after a solid bounce-back performance.
In Class 5A, the rankings held mostly steady, though West Fork (loss to PNG) and Dayton (loss to Huntsville) slipped. Fort Bend Marshall re-enters the Top 10, continuing its climb after early-season adversity.
The private school ranks remained unchanged, with top programs holding serve across the board.
With most teams past their bye weeks, the stage is set for a furious race to the regular-season finish line—and district titles, playoff positioning, and bragging rights all hanging in the balance.
