The No. 1-ranked Grapevine Mustangs enter the postseason aiming for a second-straight UIL Championship
Grapevine, Boswell head into playoffs as top teams in DFW; rankings, brackets
Out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, defending UIL-5A state champion Grapevine reclaims the No. 1 spot in our rankings with a stellar 25-2 record entering the postseason.
Close behind are the Boswell Pioneers (27-4), fresh off a District 3-6A title and ready to make noise in the Division II bracket.
Southlake Carroll (24-7-1) edged out rival Keller (25-7) for the District 4-6A crown, though both teams will now chase separate paths in the playoffs.
FM Marcus, Rockwall, and Sachse should also be in the thick of the 6A race, while Aledo and Lovejoy look like top contenders in 5A. Brock, meanwhile, has emerged as a serious force in Class 4A.
Now that the postseason is upon us, it's time to take one last look at the DFW hierarchy before the action officially begins.

THE TIER LIST: Will State Baseball run though H-Town? Final Rankings; Brackets
In the Houston area, The Woodlands (27-4-1) turned heads with an undefeated run through District 13-6A—no small feat given the talent level in that region.
Memorial (25-3-1) has enjoyed a dominant spring and enters the playoffs as our No. 2-ranked squad, poised for a deep run.
Kingwood also remains one of the top programs heading into the opening round. The Mustangs (28-3) shared the District 23-6A title with Atascocita (22-9-2), though the two won’t cross paths in the postseason due to divisional alignment.
Defending UIL 6A state champion Tomball (24-6-1) remains a threat, anchored by one of the deepest bullpens in the state, while Cy Ranch continues its surge into the Top 10.
Also worth watching are Barbers Hill, Katy, Bridgeland, Pearland, and Kingwood Park—all capable of making serious noise in their respective brackets.
In the Private School ranks, Lutheran South Academy and Second Baptist may be on a collision course in TAPPS-DII, while Concordia Lutheran and St. Thomas headline TAPPS-DI. Over in SPC-4A, Kinkaid and Episcopal look like early favorites.
Suffice it to say, Houston is loaded with playoff-caliber talent—and the next few weeks should put that on full display.
