Pearland has biggest win of wet Week 5; New VYPE Rankings powered by Lone Star College
Week 6 was a weird one across the Houston area, as rain and lightning delays washed out games for some while others managed to dodge the weather and get their games in.
North Shore remains No. 1 in the Class 6A rankings, while Randle holds the top spot in Class 5A. In the private school ranks, Kinkaid takes over at No. 1.
The biggest win of the week may have come in Pearland, where the Oilers knocked off Top 10 program Manvel in a statement victory.
Klein Collins also picked up a huge win, knocking off Klein Cain in a game that was delayed by weather and eventually pushed to Saturday.
The War of the Woods was all The Woodlands, as the Highlanders rolled past College Park in the annual rivalry showdown.
As for the rankings, Jordan, Cypress Woods and Fort Bend Travis make their way into the Top 25 this week in Class 6A.
Over in Class 5A, Waltrip and Splendora join the rankings after strong performances.
