Top-ranked Stony Point brushed aside determined challenges from two very good playoff teams in Westwood and Round Rock to close out their third consecutive undefeated district season. That was more than enough for them to remain atop this week’s Power Rankings. (Spoiler Alert: With a Bye this week, they’ll still be there in next week’s final poll as well.)

St. Michael’s remains at #2, as the TAPPS powerhouse rolled on. Aside from that consistency at the top, however, win-one; lose-one chaos reigned. Okay, Liberty Hill swept their week to climb over Westwood to a podium spot, but then chaos reigned. Round Rock played Stony tough to also step over Westwood despite their tough loss. Why? Mainly because the Warriors capped off a rough stretch with their third loss in a row to a ranked team in an overtime thriller at Vandegrift.

Top-ranked Stony Point took care of business last week with wins over Manor and Hutto. Those wins not only kept the Tigers atop our Power Rankings, but they set the table for huge games vs. Westwood and Round Rock with the district title on the line. Speaking of those two rivals, the Dragons won their rematch with the Warriors decisively to earn a split on the season. While Westwood slipped a spot, Liberty Hill cruised to two easy wins to (barely!) keep Round Rock behind them.

St. Michael’s nestled in behind Stony Point at #2 as the TAPPS powerhouse also swept their week. It’s so tempting to move the Warriors to the top spot, especially given that St. Michael’s defeated Stony Point. But that was way back in November. We’re just not convinced it would happen now and sadly, we’ll never know – but raise your hand if you’d like to see a rematch between those two.
