THE POWER RANKINGS: Vista Ridge clings to top spot; Glenn surges in Austin-area Girls BB

Merle Bertrand

Trying to compare records in tournament play can always be a little apples-and-oranges-ish. Which is why Vista Ridge remains atop this week’s ranking despite going “just” 3-2 in Duncanville’s Sandra Meadows Classic. Tough competition there and the Lady Rangers held up well

The big story is Glenn. The Lady Grizzlies climbed two spots, following up last week’s buzzer-beater win over powerful Liberty Hill with a 4-0 championship run in their own tournament. (One of those wins was against now-3rd-ranked Vandegrift.) The aforementioned Lady Panthers won the Austin High Lady Maroons Holiday Classic, which was stacked with ranked teams including runner-up Cedar Park, to slip past Round Rock, who went 2-2 in the Glenn Tourney.

Georgetown travelled to South Carolina for their final tourney and are off to a good 2-0 start at press time.

Lake Travis moved up a spot with a 3-1 Austin High tourney run; otherwise, there wasn’t a lot of movement in the bottom half of the rankings with several teams remaining idle over the break.

Santa has come and gone and it’s all district play from here on out as we head into 2025. Have a safe and Happy New Year!
