THE POWER RANKINGS: Westlake rolls, to remain on top of Austin area Girls Rankings
While there were several good district clashes lost week, there wasn’t a lot of movement in this week’s Girls Power Rankings. Westlake blasted two more opponents to remain on top and close in on a 30-win season.
Liberty Hill, Glenn and Vandegrift remain #2-#4 despite Liberty Hill’s loss to a rapidly improving Cedar Park club. (The Lady Panthers had just defeated the Lady Grizzlies the previous week; hence they remained slightly ahead – for now.) Bowie’s win over #7 Austin High allowed the Lady Dawgs to climb over Round Rock into the Top 5.
Austin High and Lake Travis stayed put while Rouse traded places with Dripping Springs to round out the Top 10.
Cedar Park moved up two spots after a quality loss to Glenn and a quality win over Liberty Hill. Lastly, Austin LASA cracked the Rankings with two impressive wins, including a victory over a good Crockett club.
As the Girl’s district season heads down the back stretch, here’s where they stand.
