The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Smithson Valley Rangers volleyball team.
The 5A landscape is taking shape, too, with Smithson Valley (22-6) and Champion (21-5) quickly establishing themselves as the division’s benchmarks. New Braunfels (16-16), however, remains a formidable challenger capable of making things interesting on any given night.
Harlan (18-10), Brandeis (18-12), and Pieper (16-13) round out a deep 6A group, while Davenport (22-7) and Tivy (16-11) lead the charge among the 4A contenders.
With district races now underway, the hierarchy may be clearer — but there’s still plenty of volleyball left to rearrange it.
