No. 4 — Klein Oak Panthers
The throne as Kings of the North belongs to Klein Oak — and the Panthers have no intention of surrendering it.
Under head coach Joshua Ervin, Klein Oak has established itself among Greater Houston's elite, coming off a dominant 33-4 season that featured a perfect 16-0 district record and a trip to the third round of the postseason.
However, the Panthers have their sights set on far more than another district crown.
Standouts Tyrie Wooten Jr., Marcus Epps and Owen Denton are back in the fold, providing a veteran nucleus with the experience to elevate Klein Oak's championship aspirations. Meanwhile, Jerron Neely and Zayden Outlaw are primed for expanded responsibilities in 2026-27, further reinforcing an already formidable lineup.
The pieces are certainly in place for the Panthers to maintain their reign atop the district hierarchy. But the greater challenge lies beyond familiar territory.
Can Ervin's squad navigate the gauntlet of Region II powers and turn its regular-season dominance into a legitimate push for the state title?

No. 5 — Shadow Creek Sharks
The Sharks are back — and they could be downright dangerous.
Shadow Creek quietly assembled an impressive résumé last season, finishing as district runner-up before advancing to the third round of the playoffs.
Now, with a talented nucleus back in the fold, the Sharks are poised to make an even bigger splash in 2026-27.
Reigning District Offensive MVP Daniel “DT” Green enters his senior year as a focal point of the attack, while fellow first-team selections Jaylen Addai and BJ LaFell round out a backcourt that could rank among Greater Houston's finest.
Once their football obligations conclude, Kingston Raglin and Stanford Wiley IV should provide additional versatility and depth to the guard rotation.
Meanwhile, Braylon Caldwell figures to be instrumental in the paint, where his rebounding prowess and ability to initiate the fast break with timely outlet passes could elevate Shadow Creek's transition game.
The offensive firepower is undeniable.
But can the Sharks translate their potential into a breakthrough postseason performance?

No. 6 — Jordan Warriors
There’s little debate that Jordan knows how to deliver in the postseason.
Just two years removed from a state championship appearance, head coach Charlie Jones will have his squad motivated to build on last season’s 25-13 campaign, which carried the Warriors to the Region III Final.
Reigning District Co-Offensive Player of the Year Marwane Fadika is back to light up the scoreboard after averaging 16 points, five assists, and five rebounds per game. His production also earned TABC All-State and All-Region honors, and he’s poised to make another major impact in his senior season.
Junior Caleb Huff, a second-team all-district selection, adds to Jordan’s physicality with his 6-foot-7 frame and scoring touch in the post.
Sophomores Isaiah Wright, Peyton Timmerman, and Ben Coughran round out the starting rotation.
Above all else, the Warriors will be on a mission to reclaim the “Gold Status” they’ve been chasing.
