AWARDS SZN: 2025 Houston Volleyball All-VYPE Teams // Powered by LOVB
Something made crystal clear this fall was the sheer abundance of talent powering Houston’s most electrifying programs — compelling us to dish out some well-earned recognition.
The city’s heavy-hitters — Dawson, Cy Ranch, Grand Oaks, Tompkins, Stratford, Friendswood, Seven Lakes, Fulshear, and Ridge Point — delivered as expected, and then some. Yet 2025 also brought its share of welcome surprises, with Tomball, Cy Woods, Clear Lake, Montgomery, and Manvel ascending to new heights and positioning themselves as budding contenders.
With that said, it’s officially time to sing some praises.

The stars of 2025-26 Friendswood Volleyball
THE HIERARCHY: FINAL VYPE Houston Volleyball Rankings heading into 2025 Playoffs // Powered by LOVB
The final week of the regular season has arrived, and with it, the closing stretch of an eventful fall across Houston volleyball.
While the vast majority of districts have more or less been decided, there are still a handful of situations where the final standings — and subsequent playoff divisional placement — could potentially be shifted around with a couple matches remaining in the regular season.
For instance, in District 16-6A, Bridgeland (10-2) closes out its schedule with Cypress Ranch (12-0) and Cypress Woods (10-2) — with the latter being the more significant, as Cy Woods holds the tiebreaker after defeating the Bears in five sets last month.
Fulshear (7-1 in 20-6A) currently has that same edge over Foster (7-1), while Memorial (12-0 in 17-6A) is one up on Stratford (11-1) — each pair set to meet in the next few days. It’s the final bit of drama before fan bases turn their attention to the postseason.
At the top of Class 6A, Dawson (34-4), Grand Oaks (31-8), and Tompkins (32-5) continue to set the tone, each closing dominant district runs with legitimate State aspirations.
Tomball and Clear Springs remain firmly in the mix, while College Park and Ridge Point have found their stride late — both capable of shaking up the bracket once the playoff lights come on.
In Class 5A, Friendswood (31-8) has reasserted itself as the clear-cut favorite, though Barbers Hill (36-5) and Montgomery (34-9) have earned their share of praise. West Fork (37-5) has emerged as a sneaky-good contender, while Lake Creek (18-21) has begun piecing things together down the stretch.
It’s always a battle when it comes to the LSA–FBCA rivalry, and Lutheran South Academy (26-6) has proven capable of winning the scrappy contests, making the Pioneers the private school headliner entering the TAPPS-5A playoffs. Concordia Lutheran continues to flex in TAPPS-6A, while St. John’s School, Episcopal, and John Cooper remain names to watch in SPC play.
Now, with brackets nearly set and the margins razor-thin, the stage is built for Houston’s elite to make their postseason statement.
