Summer Creek turns back a fiesty Atascocita Eagle squad
Shakeups hit middle of Class 6A VYPE Top 25; Baytown Sterling moves into 5A Top 10
It was a bloodbath in the middle of the VYPE Class 6A Top 25 this past weekend, as several ranked teams took unexpected hits. Bridgeland, Willis, Klein, Jordan, Atascocita, Kingwood, and Dawson all suffered losses, leaving the playoff picture wide open heading into Week 7.
So, who came out on top?
Pearland made a statement at The Rig, holding off a tough Dawson squad in a back-and-forth district battle. College Park was even more impressive, lighting up the scoreboard with 50 points in a road rout of No. 9 Willis.
In Klein ISD, the upsets kept coming. Klein Oak pulled off a stunner over No. 7 Klein Collins, while Tomball edged Klein in a hard-fought matchup that came down to the wire.
Meanwhile, Summer Creek managed to hang on to its No. 2 ranking after surviving a narrow win over Atascocita in another high-scoring shootout. Saturday, Cypress Springs had a signature win over Bridgeland to take poll position for the district title.
And say hello to Baytown Sterling. The Rangers delivered one of the weekend’s biggest surprises, knocking off No. 5 Barbers Hill behind the leadership of first-year head coach Spencer Anthony, who has quickly raised the standard for the program.
Houston’s 6A scene just got a whole lot more interesting.
