WHATABURGER TEAM OF THE WEEK: Ridge Point dominates to remain No. 1
The Ridge Point Panthers have officially climbed to the top spot in the city, earning VYPE’s No. 1 ranking after knocking off No. 3 Bridgeland in last week’s VYPE Thursday Night Showdown.
The Panthers also picked up the honor of being named the Whataburger Team of the Week following their dominant 31-3 victory.
Offensively, Ridge Point looked sharp and balanced. Quarterback Brody Bartee delivered a strong performance through the air, connecting with playmakers DJ Darling and Bailen George to keep the chains moving. On the ground, running back Aiden Akins provided a steady presence, punishing the Bears’ defense with his physical style.
Defensively, the Panthers were suffocating. The defensive front consistently pressured Bridgeland’s quarterback, disrupting timing and rhythm all night long. Linebackers Dyllon Bennett and Braydon Bonik controlled the middle of the field, while the secondary shut down big plays with speed and discipline. The unit as a whole set the tone, holding a high-powered Bridgeland offense to just a field goal.
With confidence riding high, the Panthers now turn their attention to the Elkins Knights. If Ridge Point continues to play with the same intensity and precision, they’ll remain the team to beat in Greater Houston.

STATEMENT WEEKEND: Ridge Point, Klein Collins, John Cooper School trending in VYPE Rankings
The Ridge Point Panthers have put the entire city of Houston on notice after a statement win over No. 3 Bridgeland in the VYPE Thursday Night Showdown. With elite speed on the edges and size that can dominate in the trenches, the Panthers look every bit the contender.
Elsewhere, Dickinson climbed the ladder with a huge victory, while Atascocita battled hard but came up just short in a seven-point loss to Austin Westlake. Klein Collins continues to impress, edging No. 10 Tomball by a single point after already knocking off Klein Cain earlier this season. College Park made waves of its own, blanking ranked Conroe High in dominant fashion. Langham Creek enters the rankings at 3-0, though the Lobos’ toughest tests still lie ahead.
In Class 5A, La Porte suffered its first setback of the season against tradition-rich Port Neches-Groves, while Kempner broke into the rankings after starting 3-0.
And in the private school ranks, there’s a shakeup at the top—The Woodlands Christian Academy has taken over the No. 1 spot, while John Cooper School comes in at No. 2. Kinkaid is trending as well.
