THE HIERARCHY: VYPE SATX Volleyball Updated Rankings; O'Connor, Pieper, Brennan gaining momentum
Well, it's official.
O'Connor is LEGIT!
Just two weeks removed from defeating fellow state-powers Harlan and Brennan, the Panthers have surged to a 6-0 start in their brutal district and are poised at the top of the San Antonio landscape.
That's not meant to dismiss the Hawks or Bears, though. They're going to be just fine as they prepare for imminent playoff runs.
Other notable teams in 6A include Reagan, Clark, Canyon, and Madison, who should only continue to improve as the rest of district plays out.
Meanwhile, Pieper has dominated in Class 5A. However, New Braunfels, Boerne-Champion, and Tivy could give them a run for their money.
That said, here is our composite list of teams battling for supremacy entering October.
