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.

STATE SEMIFINALS: Brock Baseball makes eighth appearance at the state tournament
In their eighth appearance a the UIL State Tournament-- third in four years-- the Brock Eagles baseball team is more than ready to take on Corpus Christi London in the state semifinal matchup. The team hopes to secure their spot in the finals and eventually their first ring since the 2006 season. VYPE DFW takes a look at the program so far this season:
So Far
Starting their season on the right foot, the Brock Eagles have been showcasing their ability to play hard against tough opponents since the start of the season. The team was able to secure several strong, dominant victories in non-district play as they defeated the likes of Kennedale, Alvarado, Brownwood, Wall, Andrews, and more. Behind talented athletes like Jesse Rusinek, Cam Harris, Cole Stanley, Wyatt Shumake, Canon Lightfoot, Hunter Martin, Asa Parenteau, Cooper Massey, Hudson Davis, and more, Brock was able to prepare themselves for another successful district schedule.
Through district play, the Eagles showed no hesitation as they took down the likes of Peaster, Early, Eastland, Millsap, Dublin, and more in order to post an undefeated 14-0 district record and finish at the top of their district standings. After proving their ability to shut down opponents in the regular season, the team took to the offseason to continue their run toward the state tournament. So far in the playoffs, the team has sent Bowie, Clyde, Holliday, Liberty, and Jacksboro packing in order to punch their ticket to the UIL Baseball State Tournament.
What to Expect
The team has lost only two games all season while outscoring their opponents by a combined 245 runs so far this season. With a 94% winning percentage and the heart of champions, Brock already knows what it takes to continue on their run this season. Under the careful guidance of head coach Koby Page and assistant coaches Dane Bennett, Ryne Onsurez, and Randell Coleman, this team isn't worried about taking on Corpus Christi London-- who boasts a 39-3 record this season. Fans can expect Brock to fight hard through the semifinals match with early and timely hits.
