CHECKING BOXES: Multiple H-Town VB squads secure District Titles
What a week for H-Town Volleyball!
Pearland turned the tables in Class 6A, after toppling their district rival Dawson, which has propelled the Oilers to a potential district title. Similarly, The Woodlands defeated College Park in four sets, after falling to the Cavaliers earlier in the season, which secures the Highlanders in their district's No. 2 spot, behind a relentless Grand Oaks squad that's only tallied one loss on the season.
Not much has changed in Class 5A, with each of our top-5 winning both of their respective matchups last week. However, Montgomery and Manvel are surging at the perfect time, with only a couple of weeks remaining in the regular season.
The biggest headline in the private school scene is undoubtedly Lutheran South's 3-2 nail-biter victory over fellow TAPPS-5A title-contender FBCA. Given that these two clubs have a season-split against each other, it will be interesting to see how a potential tie-breaker will play out in the postseason. Additionally, Legacy Prep looks primed for a deep run in the playoffs.

POWER PLAY: VYPE Public/Private Updated Volleyball Rankings
The race for district contention is in full swing as we enter the second half of the Fall season.
Over the past week, not much has changed in terms of who the top teams are. Grand Oaks and Cinco Ranch are still battling for the top spot in Class 6A, while Fulshear and Barbers Hill maintain their exemplary standing in Class 5A.
However, there have been numerous squads who have been rising up the charts -- Pearland Dawson, Ridge Point, Tomball Memorial, and Friendswood among them -- which indicates that the fun is just beginning in the public school outlook.
It will also be interesting to see how the private school race plays out, with LSA and FBCA vying for a first-place finish in their TAPPS district. Additionally, Concordia Lutheran continues to pick up speed, while Episcopal seems primed to dominate the SPC in the coming weeks.
Without further ado, here are the updated VYPE weekly rankings.
