THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Final Girls Basketball Rankings as playoffs near; Braswell, Argyle climb
It's almost that time of year again.
Now that regular season reaches its closing stages, the stakes are about to increase dramatically as teams across the state prepare to battle it out in the ensuing playoffs.
As it stands, not much has changed in our rankings from just a couple of weeks ago.
Boswell (31-2) has all but sealed a district title, and the same can be said for Duncanville (23-5), and 4A powerhouse Lincoln (30-2).
Denton Guyer (27-3) and Braswell (29-2) are both locked at 10-1 in District 5-6A, with Guyer holding a narrow advantage after defeating the Bengals (49-47) in their first district matchup earlier this month. However, the ultimate decider will be the rematch in the regular season finale on February 4th.
Flower Mound, South Grand Prairie, and Lancaster round out some of the formidable forces in 6A, while Argyle continues to gain momentum in the 5A classification.
With the postseason just around the corner, here is the last set of rankings as the Dallas area gears up for the road to the Alamodome.

THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Girls Basketball Rankings with district titles on the line; SGP, D'Ville elevate
As we pass the midpoint of district play, the race for respective playoff seeding across the state has reached its pinnacle.
However, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the battle for supremacy seems especially tight, with margins between teams growing ever smaller. It’s no surprise, given that this region has long been home to some of the finest high school girls’ basketball programs in the state.
In our updated composite rankings, Boswell remains in the top spot. The Pioneers are perfect in district play (8-0) and sport an impressive 28-2 overall record, firmly establishing themselves as a powerhouse.
Right behind them is Denton Guyer, with a 24-3 record and a 7-1 mark in district. The Wildcats have the distinction of being the only team in Texas to have defeated Boswell this season, taking down the Pioneers 54-51 on December 3.
The District 5-6A race, however, remains far from decided, as Braswell and Flower Mound are right on Guyer’s heels, setting the stage for an enticing photo finish.
Meanwhile, defending UIL-6A State Champions, Duncanville, are finding their stride as the season progresses. With a solid 20-5 record, they’re well on their way to securing yet another District 11-6A title.
South Grand Prairie, last year’s 6A runners-up, are also back on track, sporting a 21-6 record and an undefeated 8-0 district mark, signaling their intent for another deep postseason run.
In addition, Argyle and Wakeland continue to lead the charge in Class 5A, while Lincoln and Glen Rose remain formidable forces in 4A.
