THE HIERARCHY: VYPE SATX 2025 Preseason Volleyball Rankings; Harlan, Davenport among early favorites
As the 2025 high school volleyball season approaches, programs across the San Antonio area find themselves at a promising intersection of experience, momentum, and unfinished business. The latest regional rankings offer a snapshot of a landscape that remains both top-heavy and deep, with contenders spread across 6A, 5A, and 4A.
At the forefront is Harlan, returning after a 39-win season and a hard-fought run to the 6A-D2 Regional Finals. Canyon isn’t far behind after its own strong postseason push, while O’Connor will look to shake off a rare early playoff exit and reassert its usual dominance. Johnson, Reagan, and Brennan round out a 6A group loaded with experience and depth.
In 5A, New Braunfels leads the charge following a run to the Region IV Final, setting the tone for a group that also includes Pieper and Boerne-Champion—both coming off 30-win seasons and eager for deeper playoff pushes.
One of the region’s most intriguing storylines comes from Class 4A, where Davenport has steadily risen into statewide relevance. The Wolves reached the State Final Four last fall, and retain a seasoned roster ready for a similar run in 2025.
The path to State will once again be a grind—but several local teams look more than ready for the challenge.

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Preseason Volleyball Rankings; Byron Nelson, Wakeland aim to repeat
As preseason rankings take shape across Texas, the Dallas-Fort Worth area once again stands out as a deep and dangerous region on the UIL volleyball map. Our newly released Preseason Top-10 features a familiar mix of state champions, perennial contenders, and rising programs across both Class 6A and 5A.
Byron Nelson leads the pack after a near-flawless 2024 season, finishing 40-1 and capturing the 6A-Division II State Title. Several other 6A programs remain firmly in the spotlight—Allen reached the 6A-D1 State Semifinals, while Keller, Southlake Carroll, Hebron, and Plano West each made strong Regional runs and return plenty of momentum.
In 5A, Wakeland returns as the defending state champion, setting a high bar after claiming the 5A-D2 crown. McKinney North and Aledo both made deep playoff pushes in the 5A-D1 bracket, while Lovejoy continues to be a model of postseason consistency following yet another regional final appearance.
Altogether, this year’s DFW rankings highlight not just talent, but sustained excellence across multiple programs and classifications. With depth, experience, and proven playoff success, the region enters 2025 with high expectations—and no shortage of teams capable of delivering another championship run.
