The finish line is in sight, but the biggest shifts may still be ahead.
After a brief dip in the rankings, Harlan (25-10) has surged back to the top of the SATX power structure. Riding an eight-game winning streak, the Hawks reasserted their position with a five-set victory over rival Brennan (31-7). The Bears will get their shot to respond next Friday (10/23), when the regular-season finale could decide the District 29-6A title.
At 31-6 overall and unbeaten throughout the district schedule, Smithson Valley is making a strong case as the team to beat in Class 5A. Boerne (27-4) and Champion (27-7) aren’t far behind, locked in a footrace for the District 26-5A title. The Greyhounds hold the edge after their 3-1 victory in September, but the race remains very much alive.
Meanwhile, Pieper (24-14) is chasing its first district championship since moving up to 6A in this summer’s UIL realignment. The home stretch offers little room for error, highlighted by a rematch with NB Canyon, the only team to hand the Warriors a district loss in five sets. Still, Pieper stands on the brink of history, so the final push will come down to execution.

The standings are taking shape, and the real separation starts now.
At the center of it all is Allen, whose 33-2 record has been matched by few across the region. Both losses came against Top 5 opponents in Duncanville and McKinney Boyd, but the Eagles have already answered Boyd once, winning their September district clash. Their rematch on Oct. 20 will carry enormous weight, with the District 6-6A crown on the line.
District 5-6A has developed its own compelling rivalry. Hebron and Flower Mound have traded victories, with the Hawks winning their August tournament meeting before the Jaguars responded in five sets in September. Flower Mound then fell to Marcus in another five-set battle, adding another twist ahead of next week’s decisive rematch on Hebron’s home court.
Argyle has taken control of District 5-5A after earning two pivotal wins over Eagle Mountain, putting the Eagles firmly in the driver’s seat. Meanwhile, District 7-6A remains a three-team race, with Plano East, Plano and Plano West all fighting to establish separation.
Southlake Carroll has also made its move, surging into the Top 10 behind a 9-1 district mark. The Lady Dragons have built early breathing room in 4-6A, though Keller, Byron Nelson and Eaton remain part of a competitive field as the race continues to unfold.
