College Park takes down The Woodlands in instant classic
THE RANKINGS: College Park, Katy continuing to trend in VYPE Top 25
In the VYPE Game of the Week, College Park all but secured its district crown with a statement win over The Woodlands—a program that had long dominated the crosstown rivalry.
Under coach Kyle Coats, the Cavaliers have emerged as one of the most complete teams in Greater Houston. With dynamic playmakers on the perimeter, steady quarterback play, and a disciplined defense, College Park is proving it belongs in the conversation among the region’s best. The small 6A program has become a legitimate postseason threat.
Elsewhere, the Big Four of District 23-6A—North Shore, CE King, Summer Creek, and Atascocita—all flexed their muscle over the weekend. The Eagles’ win over Kingwood likely solidified their playoff standing, while North Shore and CE King continued their dominant runs.
In District 19-6A, No. 9 Katy continued to roll, staying unbeaten in league play with a win over Jordan. No. 12 Bridgeland knocked Waller out of the Top 25 after a decisive victory.
On the coast, Clear Falls jumps into the Top 25 after a 14-point win over No. 15 Clear Springs, while Shadow Creekreclaims the No. 25 spot after a solid bounce-back performance.
In Class 5A, the rankings held mostly steady, though West Fork (loss to PNG) and Dayton (loss to Huntsville) slipped. Fort Bend Marshall re-enters the Top 10, continuing its climb after early-season adversity.
The private school ranks remained unchanged, with top programs holding serve across the board.
With most teams past their bye weeks, the stage is set for a furious race to the regular-season finish line—and district titles, playoff positioning, and bragging rights all hanging in the balance.
