POWER GRID: VYPE DFW Volleyball Rankings | The Race for District Control Is On
District 5-6A has developed its own compelling rivalry. Hebron and Flower Mound have traded victories, with the Hawks winning their August tournament meeting before the Jaguars responded in five sets in September. Flower Mound then fell to Marcus in another five-set battle, adding another twist ahead of next week’s decisive rematch on Hebron’s home court.
Argyle has taken control of District 5-5A after earning two pivotal wins over Eagle Mountain, putting the Eagles firmly in the driver’s seat. Meanwhile, District 7-6A remains a three-team race, with Plano East, Plano and Plano West all fighting to establish separation.
Southlake Carroll has also made its move, surging into the Top 10 behind a 9-1 district mark. The Lady Dragons have built early breathing room in 4-6A, though Keller, Byron Nelson and Eaton remain part of a competitive field as the race continues to unfold.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 7 | SOC Turns It Up as Rivalry Week Begins
On a similar note, Lovejoy (6-0) is finally beginning to get the recognition it deserves, with the Leopards making their debut in the rankings as they approach a decisive matchup with Argyle (5-1) this Friday. The 5A ranks continue to offer plenty of intrigue, with several unbeaten teams now entering the stretch run with little room for error.
Keeping with the trend of pivotal clashes on the horizon, Waxahachie (5-0) will host North Crowley (5-0), DeSoto (3-2) travels to Lancaster (4-1), and Lewisville (2-3*) faces a major test against Guyer (4-1).
The prime-time tests are here — and the Top 20 could be due for some chaos.
