Big Changes for TAPPS Volleyball Final Four

Perhaps the most unsettling part of Wagner’s flawless start is that “perfect” hardly does it justice. The 5A Thunderbirds have imposed their will in virtually every outing, with few of their 32 victories coming down to the wire — aside from narrow decisions over Brennan, Mansfield and Plano East. Unbeaten through district play and battle-tested beyond it, Wagner enters the playoffs not just as a favorite, but as a clear standard-bearer for the region.

That said, 6A offers no shortage of firepower. Brennan (29-4) and Johnson (32-3) have built commanding résumés and sit squarely in the championship conversation, while Sotomayor and Judson add further depth to an upper classification defined by physicality and balance. Warren and Harlan, both navigating demanding district slates, round out a 6A group more dangerous than their records might suggest.
