The Falcons finished 4-7 in their 2018 season. Channelview begins their 2019 season on August 30th against Nimitz. Will the Falcons get back to the playoffs in 2019?
Stay tuned for our VYPE Football Preview coming in early August.
The same holds true for Richland (28-3) and Timber Creek (23-6-1), while Lovejoy (23-8-2) and Forney (27-5-1) remain heavy hitters in their respective conferences.
With that in mind, it’s time to size up DFW softball as the regular season winds down.

The stars of 2025-26 Katy Softball
Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)
It came as no surprise that Kingwood (29-3) responded immediately to its lone district loss to Summer Creek, winning out to close the regular season and claim the 23-6A crown with a 13-1 record. The run included an 11-0 victory over the Bulldogs and a six-game shutout streak.
The same can be said for Katy (28-5), which cruised to its 11th straight district title (excluding the 2019-20 COVID season), capping the 19-6A slate on a 10-game winning streak while allowing just three runs in that span.
Tomball (23-3) and Bridgeland (26-5) remain the headliners out of Region II, both well-positioned to make a push toward the state stage in the coming weeks. One of the most impressive runs of the back half came from Grand Oaks (30-6), which won its final 11 games to steal the District 13-6A title from Willis (24-9)—another scrappy squad.
Region III again shapes up as a gauntlet in Houston’s 6A brackets, featuring powerhouses such as Pearland (28-4), Atascocita (23-8), Summer Creek (26-7), Deer Park (21-10), Jordan (21-5), Clear Creek (19-7), Foster (24-8), and Clear Springs (22-13).
Rounding out the notable Class 5A programs are La Porte (20-3), Friendswood (21-7), Santa Fe (24-7), and Kingwood Park (21-9), while Liberty (29-5) and Needville (29-2) pace the 4A field.
All that being said, let’s tap into the who’s who of H-Town with the postseason on the horizon.
