Atascocita is the truth as well, handing Katy on the road. The Eagles are led by QB Cardae Mack and Tory Blaylock (OU-commit) on the ground. Mack has been one of the top game-breakers this season.
North Shore went to Dallas and won a pedestrian game over Crowley, while Summer Creek continues to dominate. Here's a number for you. The Bulldogs have outscored opponents 94-0 in two games over Shadow Creek and Lamar.
Klein Cain looks better than expected at 2-0, while Bridgeland continues to roll with a with over Tompkins to go to 2-0. Next up is Ridge Point.
Until next week, here are your rankings.

Willis' Tori Greeney

“I’ve played multiple sports throughout my life before I got into volleyball,” she said. “I played soccer, I was in cheer and for about 10 years I was a competitive swimmer. That was mainly because of my Dad, since he was a swim coach.
“I finally tried volleyball and found my love for the sport because it relies on a team-aspect. I really enjoy that competitiveness and being able to rely on the bond with my teammates.”
Not only did she discover her love for the game, but quite the skill-set for it as well, evidenced by the impressive stat-line (250 kills, 265 digs, 427 receptions, 22 blocks) she put up a year ago that led to second-team, all-district honors.
However, the journey wasn’t without its challenges.

“I’ve been on varsity since my freshman year, but it was very intimidating,” said Greeney. “It was really hard to get to know the girls at first, but they’ve been so welcoming. Developing a relationship with all of them came with a lot of support, which I’ve tried to do as I’ve gotten older. From my position, you really have to progress in that leadership role, when starting off that young on a team like this.”
It didn’t take long for Greeney to make connections on the Willis squad, which naturally features some fond memories.
“The most memorable moment that I’ve experienced in this program so far - and I’m sure some of the other returners share it -was when we went to Austin last year for a tournament,” she said. “We had a cooking competition, which was just so fun because we were working together, on the clock. Of course, it got really competitive since we were on teams, but that’s part of what made it fun.”
Despite contending in what could easily be considered the state’s most talented district, Willis has the talent to cause some upsets in the coming months.
That would be the perfect way for one of their star outside hitters to garner some well-deserved attention.
“The goal is to compete at a very high level in college someday,” Greeney said. “I want to hopefully go to a Division I school. I have some offers from some D2 schools as of right now, but I’m trying to eventually get that greater opportunity down the line.”
When she’s not hanging out with friends, swimming at her family’s lake house or partaking in her guilty pleasure of Grey’s Anatomy this fall, Greeney and the Wildkats should anticipate a resurgence under the direction of first-year head coach Kayla Jenkins.
Stay tuned.
Some of the stars of 2024-25 Stratford Volleyball
Jamey Wright (VYPE)
Stratford has subtly emerged as one of the premier groups in all of Class 6A, most recently defeating Cy Ranch, with an enticing matchup against fellow heavy-weight Fulshear taking place this week.
The reigning champs Grand Oaks continue to thrive, with runner-up Cinco Ranch hot on their heels within Katy ISD. Furthermore, The Woodlands, Pearland, Seven Lakes, and Ridge Point are equally threatening.
In Class 5A, Friendswood, Lake Creek, and Barbers Hill are picking up speed at the optimum point in the season, while Montgomery and West Fork look to keep making a name for themselves.
Meanwhile, Lutheran South, St. Agnes, and FBCA headline the local private school sector.
With all that being said, check out our list of Space City squads who are climbing the ladder of contention this week.
