Strake Jesuit climbs back into the rankings
THE LIST: Strake Jesuit, Klein Oak make way into VYPE Rankings
After a sluggish start to the season, Strake Jesuit and Klein Oak have found their rhythm — and their way back into the VYPE Class 6A Top 25.
Under the leadership of RB John Hebert, the Crusaders have caught fire in district play, while Panther quarterback Andre Phillip has powered Klein Oak’s resurgence. Oak’s thrilling victory over Klein last week was an instant classic and cemented their return to the city’s elite.
Elsewhere across Houston, Magnolia bounced back in emphatic fashion, dismantling Top 10 Tomball in a pivotal district showdown. Meanwhile, North Shore continued its dominance over Atascocita, once again claiming bragging rights in the area’s most heated rivalry — and now turns its attention to a massive clash with CE King this week.
In Class 5A, Santa Fe has reentered the conversation with a strong stretch of play, while in the private school ranks, Kinkaid made a statement with a big win over The John Cooper School.
The playoff picture is starting to take shape — and a few familiar names are finding their form just in time.
Here are this week’s updated VYPE Houston Rankings.

THE RANKINGS: Randle, Klein Collins, CE King steal show in Week 5
HOUSTON – Week 5 of the high school football season brought some heavyweight clashes across the Houston area, shaking up the landscape as teams push deeper into district play.
It all began under the lights of the VYPE Thursday Night Showdown powered by the Daspit Law Firm, where Class 5A No. 1 Randle outlasted No. 3 Iowa Colony in a 49-42 thriller. The defending state champions proved their pedigree in an instant classic, trading blows before sealing a statement win that reaffirms their top billing.

Meanwhile, No. 11 CE King put on an offensive showcase, stunning Atascocita 70-55. Running back Dionne Sims, a Tulsa commit, exploded for a monster night, proving nearly unstoppable out of the backfield.
Elsewhere in 6A, Dawson delivered drama, knocking off Shadow Creek in a double-overtime thriller to earn a spot in this week’s rankings. Nimitz also climbs into the Top 20 after an impressive start.
The 5A slate had its own fireworks. Montgomery toppled Dayton in a Top 10 matchup, while Santa Fe and Kingwood Park also earned spots in the latest poll after strong performances.
On the private school scene, Concordia Lutheran has surged into the Top 5. The Crusaders continue to roll, while perennial power Episcopal has slipped after another tough loss.
With Week 6 looming, the Houston football picture is starting to come into focus—but as last weekend showed, nothing is set in stone.
