The Rouse Raiders closed out their final regular 5A season in style, crushing Lockhart twice and knocking off Lake Belton in a playoff tuneup to finish atop this year’s Baseball Power Rankings. And oh, for a showdown with 2nd-place Lake Travis, the District 26-6A champion. That won’t happen this year, but they could collide next year as 6A clubs.
Third place Georgetown should cross the 30-win threshold once playoffs begin this week, while #4 Dripping Springs shrugged off an upset at the hands of Westlake to win the rematch in a no-hitter, followed by a tune-up win against 7th-ranked Bowie. Anderson, meanwhile, twice dispatched a decent Navarro squad to go undefeated in district play, then knocked off yet another 6A power in Buda Johnson to round out this year’s Top 5.
Once and future district mates Johnson and Bowie closed out successful regular seasons at #6 and #7. Vandegrift cracked the Top 10 at #8 after sweeping Round Rock to separate themselves from the District 25-6A logjam and claim the first district title in program history. Speaking of 25-6A, #9 Westwood and #10 Vista Ridge split their regular season finale showdown to make the playoffs while Cedar Ridge swept Manor to finish #11.
Things got a little choppy at the bottom of the rankings behind the Raiders. Weiss swept Pflugerville Connally to advance two spots. Hays stayed put at #13 followed by Liberty Hill, who split with Cedar Park. Round Rock remained in our Rankings at #15 despite losing out in the 25-6A game of musical chairs.
With the exception of a handful of play-in and seeding games, the 2026 regular season is now in the books. Which means baseball’s third and most important season – the playoffs – is about to get underway!
