THE KNITTY GRITTY: Several teams closing in on imminent district titles
In the grand scheme of the upcoming final placements for the respective Houston districts, this past week was instrumental towards each team's potential fate.
Bridgeland experienced a meteoric rise in our rankings, following their decisive victory over district opponent Langham Creek, which firmly placed the Bears in the No. 2 spot of the treacherous Katy ISD district. In other Class 6A news, Tompkins toppled Seven Lakes, while the likes of Ridge Point, College Park, Dawson, and others continue to ascend the charts.
Not much has changed in the Class 5A scene, other than Magnolia West undergoing a surge in the back-half of the regular season, which bodes well for a coveted spot in the postseason. Additionally, Montgomery is experiencing a similar trend after defeating Lake Creek in a 3-2 set nail-biter.
In the private school scene, FBCA remains the prime H-Town candidate for a TAPPS title as the Eagles continue to pick up speed in the waning moments of the regular season. Meanwhile, Rosehill Christian and Legacy Prep are making a case for themselves as worthy contenders in their respective conferences.

POWER PLAY: VYPE Public/Private Updated Volleyball Rankings
The race for district contention is in full swing as we enter the second half of the Fall season.
Over the past week, not much has changed in terms of who the top teams are. Grand Oaks and Cinco Ranch are still battling for the top spot in Class 6A, while Fulshear and Barbers Hill maintain their exemplary standing in Class 5A.
However, there have been numerous squads who have been rising up the charts -- Pearland Dawson, Ridge Point, Tomball Memorial, and Friendswood among them -- which indicates that the fun is just beginning in the public school outlook.
It will also be interesting to see how the private school race plays out, with LSA and FBCA vying for a first-place finish in their TAPPS district. Additionally, Concordia Lutheran continues to pick up speed, while Episcopal seems primed to dominate the SPC in the coming weeks.
Without further ado, here are the updated VYPE weekly rankings.
