VYPE Live - Volleyball: Sterling vs. Texas City

It’s hard to argue with undefeated. And since we’ve gotta start somewhere, placing an undefeated Westlake squad atop our initial 2025-26 Austin area Girls Basketball Power Rankings seems like a pretty safe bet.

That said, the Capital City is once again loaded with powerhouse Girls Basketball teams and plenty of talent. And this initial collection is a fairly even mix of 6A and 5A teams as well, with 4A Manor New Tech also making some noise.

It’s (very) early in the season but there’s already been considerable turnover in this year’s Boys Power Rankings. Several teams that consistently placed in last year’s rankings have cycled out this year as they look to rebuild, perhaps none more prominent than Stony Point.

All of which leaves a considerable void atop our initial Power Rankings of the year. Although Bowie occupies the top spot at 14-1, many of the top teams have already beaten up on each other.
