THE JUMP: Yates, Morton Ranch are Houston's top hoop troops; rankings

Matt Malatesta
Nov 13, 2019

Dallas has owned us.

When it comes to boys' basketball, the Metroplex has stood at the top of the mountain each of the last five seasons outside of 2016 when Cypress Falls took the 6A crown.

Last year, the Dallas-area took home the 6A (Duncanville), 5A (Mansfield Timberview), 4A (Oak Cliff) and 3A (Dallas Madison) boys basketball state titles.

The last time Houston brought home two boys hoops state championships in the same season was in 2014 when North Shore took the 6A crown and Jack Yates captured the 4A title.

Could 2020 be a repeat?

Morton Ranch looks the part as the best 6A squad in Houston, anchored by Baylor-commit LJ Cryer and TCU-commit Eddie Lampkin. Yates is loaded with talent, making them a viable threat in Class 4A.

So, can the city reclaim its tag of Hoopston? Check out VYPE's Preseason Public School Top 20 below.

VYPE 2021 Softball Preview:​ Public School #14 The Woodlands

Joshua Koch
05 Mar, 2021

The Woodlands always has the talent, but can this be the year they break through and get back to the Regional Finals for the first time since 2017? The Woodlands hasn't been to state since 2015 and last won a crown in 2011. The 2021 version of the Highlanders possesses plenty of offense.

The Katy Tigers team that won the 2019 Class 6A State Championship have mostly graduated. That title team had so much college talent on it. Now, Kalum Haack will once again have to reload after the 2020 season, which didn't allow the Tigers to properly defend their crown.
