The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Montgomery Bears volleyball team.

Montgomery pieced together one of its most complete bodies of work (37-11) to date under head coach Stormi Champion last fall. The Lady Bears compiled a 37-11 record and advanced to the 5A Division II Regional Semifinals, where their momentum was halted by Georgetown in four sets.

The district slate remains as challenging as ever, including state finalist A&M Consolidated, College Station, and Lake Creek. Even so, there is ample reason to assume Montgomery can sustain its explosiveness on the attack.

THE SETUP: No. 10 Atascocita | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Atascocita Eagles volleyball team.

Continuity and cohesion are certainly working in Atascocita’s favor heading into August. While other programs may naturally fluctuate from one cycle to the next, AHS still appears to be trending upward.

Last fall saw the Eagles (27-8) soar to their third straight undefeated district championship, sweep Deer Park in the opening round, and later see their run was cut short by Ridge Point in a five-set Area Round battle. Suffice it to say, coach Madeline Odom and company will be plenty motivated to reassert themselves as regional contenders.

ACTION JACKSON: Lancaster under new direction; new vibe

Lancaster coach Stephen Jackson

There may not be a program in Texas with more raw talent year in and year out than Lancaster.

Situated along the talent-rich I-20 corridor in the Dallas area, the Tigers once again boast a roster loaded with Division I prospects. Now, the challenge is turning that talent into the program's first UIL state championship.
