The No. 1-ranked Grapevine Mustangs enter the postseason aiming for a second-straight UIL Championship
Grapevine, Boswell head into playoffs as top teams in DFW; rankings, brackets
With May just around the corner, it’s officially playoff time in Texas high school baseball.
District races have wrapped, divisions are set, and the road to Dell Diamond is beginning to take shape.
Out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, defending UIL-5A state champion Grapevine reclaims the No. 1 spot in our rankings with a stellar 25-2 record entering the postseason.
Close behind are the Boswell Pioneers (27-4), fresh off a District 3-6A title and ready to make noise in the Division II bracket.
Southlake Carroll (24-7-1) edged out rival Keller (25-7) for the District 4-6A crown, though both teams will now chase separate paths in the playoffs.
FM Marcus, Rockwall, and Sachse should also be in the thick of the 6A race, while Aledo and Lovejoy look like top contenders in 5A. Brock, meanwhile, has emerged as a serious force in Class 4A.
Now that the postseason is upon us, it's time to take one last look at the DFW hierarchy before the action officially begins.

In what feels like the blink of an eye, Texas high school baseball has moved past the tournament stage and into the heart of district play.
Since the preseason rankings, the Dallas-Fort Worth landscape has shifted, proving just how unpredictable this season can be.
Leading the charge is Boswell, which has surged from No. 7 to the top spot after an outstanding 15-1 start, ranking third overall in Texas, according to MaxPreps.
Still riding high is Grapevine (13-2), the reigning UIL-5A State Champion, which looks primed for another deep playoff run.
Keller (14-3) and Southlake Carroll (12-3-1) continues to be powerhouses, while Flower Mound (12-5), a 2024 State Semifinalist, remains a major threat.
Aledo has been one of the biggest surprises, racing to a 12-4 record with a 2-0 start in district play.
