THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Girls Basketball Rankings through various district races; Wagner, Brennan, CTJ surging
In the 6A ranks, balance and depth headline the conversation.
District 28-6A, in particular, is shaping up as a week-to-week grind. Brennan (22-4) currently holds the inside track after a pivotal win over Sotomayor (22-4), though both teams appear well-equipped for a prolonged run. Judson (22-5) and Johnson (24-3) have been equally steady elsewhere, pairing strong records with the kind of defensive discipline that tends to translate in late February.
Meanwhile, squads like Warren, Harlan, Steele, and O’Connor continue to loom as dangerous variables capable of reshuffling the standings on any given night.
Class 5A offers no shortage of intrigue either. MacArthur and McCollum have surged through district play, while Boerne remains firmly in the mix behind a resilient start that suggests its ceiling has yet to be reached.
With the postseason picture still in flux, these rankings serve less as a final verdict and more as a temperature check. The second half of district play figures to bring clarity — and plenty of movement — before the real stakes arrive.

2025-26 Summer Creek Girls Basketball & Head Coach Kiara Marshall
THE LAYUP LINE: Marshall, No. 1 Summer Creek intent on upholding 6A State title
In her debut, head coach Kiara Marshall took the Texas basketball world by storm — leading a fearless, fast-paced team that refused to fold when the chips were down.
Now, with nearly every key piece returning, the Bulldogs have their sights set on something even bigger: a repeat.
It all starts with Kennedy Simpson (Tulane-signee), the reigning State MVP, who scored 21 points in the title game and continues to set the tone on both ends of the floor.

Supporting her is a deep and talented cast that includes Addison Martin (Jr. G), Erin Newsom (Jr. F), Kay’Len Alexander (Jr. F), and Ty’Asia Young (So. G) — all proven winners who know what it takes to climb the mountain.
“What I love about this program is that it’s about the work,” said Coach Marshall. “I know it sounds like coach-speak, but we just focus on ourselves and don’t pay attention to the noise. We’re just trying to get better every day — and our kids are bought into that.”
That no-nonsense approach might sound simple, but it’s the formula that built a champion —and could very well deliver them to a repeat.
