Harlan (32-6) follows closely, hoping to replicate the momentum that carried them four rounds deep in 2024 before falling to eventual State Semifinalist Vandegrift in five sets.
In 5A, New Braunfels (39-5) has quietly positioned itself as the team to beat, riding a flawless 14-0 district slate. Pieper (30-10) and Boerne-Champion (25-6) could still disrupt expectations, offering the kind of upset potential that makes the playoffs unpredictable.
Comal Canyon (29-13) and Brennan (26-13) round out the 6A contenders, each showing the ability to translate steady regular-season performances into postseason bursts.
Davenport (32-8) stands out in 4A after reaching the State Final Four last fall, reminding opponents that past success can be a reliable predictor of postseason impact.
Meanwhile, Clark (23-15) and SA Reagan (28-12) are teams whose late-season surges hint at the deeper runs they could mount despite middling overall records.
The coming weeks will test consistency and the ability to perform when it matters most, offering the potential for both vindication and gold.
