FW Boswell Pioneers (2025 6A-D2 State Champs)
Few regions in Texas — or the country, for that matter — match the consistency and competitive depth of girls basketball in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Year after year, it not only produces elite individual talent but programs that redefine supremacy.
Last winter, DFW teams nearly swept the upper tiers of the UIL State Championships — with Boswell (6A-DII), Denton Ryan (5A-DI), and Lincoln (4A-DII) each hoisting titles. All three headline this year’s preseason rankings, armed with veteran cores and championship experience that make repeat runs far from out of reach.
Behind them, Lancaster, North Crowley, and Duncanville stand poised to contend in the always-brutal 6A field, while Plano East looks to build on its Semifinal breakthrough.
In 5A, Argyle and Frisco Memorial return well-balanced rosters capable of making another deep postseason surge, while Braswell — fresh off a 34-3 season — remains firmly in the mix among 6A’s best.
Across classifications, one theme continues to define the region: depth. The balance of powerhouse programs and rising challengers ensures that every district race will carry playoff-level stakes from the outset.
At this point, it isn’t just about winning — it’s about maintaining the standard of excellence that now feels ingrained in the region’s DNA.

VYPE’s Matt Malatesta, Jackson DiPasquale, and Alex Hinson are back to review and preview the Houston high school football scene as we roll into the first week of the TXHSFB playoffs, and the storylines are already heating up.
The season is coming to an end with playoffs beginning next week — listen in as Malatesta, DiPasquale, and Hinson break it all down on On My Whistle.
Evidently, this fall has been one defined by new standards and firsts across the board.
Such was the case last week, when the Cypress Lakes football program not only secured a playoff berth — but its first ever since the school’s opening in 2008.
We caught up with second-year head coach Tyrone Carter to discuss how the Spartans reached this milestone and how they’re preparing for their inaugural postseason matchup against Magnolia.
