Hutto held off Round Rock to remain on top of a tightly bunched District 25-6A. The Hippos lead off the second half of the Rankings populated largely by teams that suffered bruising losses. Three exceptions: #13 LBJ, who shut out New Tech; #15 Pflugerville, who moved up a spot after dispatching McCallum; and #16 East View, who climbed three spots after holding off #18 Cedar Park.
#3 Dripping Springs hosts top-ranked Lake Travis and #2 Westlake meets #14 Bowie as the 26-6A leaders finally begin their head-to-head matchups. Other big games between ranked teams include #8 Georgetown clashing with crosstown rival #16 East View in the “Battle of Georgetown” and #9 Liberty Hill hosting #15 Pflugerville.
Just four more weeks left in the regular season and our Power Rankings remain as clear as a frosted window.
