The Anderson Trojans might just be the most overlooked baseball team in the Austin area. Head Coach Kenny Anderson’s squad was a highly competitive 6A team that just missed the playoffs as part of a ridiculously overstuffed District 26-6A in 2024. The Trojans excelled after moving to 5A last year, cruising to a 12-0 District 25-5A championship and a 29-9 season that saw them fall in a heartbreaking Game 3 of their Region IV Championship series.

Anderson (8-0, 18-7) has picked up right where they left off. They’ve handily dispatched everyone they’ve faced thus far in district play and just edged powerful Liberty Hill over the weekend. It would appear as if this week’s series with Bastrop marks the last serious threat they’ll face on their way to a second consecutive undefeated district title. Which is precisely why Anderson vs. Bastrop is this week’s VYPE Live Series Spotlight.

Dripping Springs edged Weiss 5-3 in a Saturday afternoon non-district softball matchup. It meant nothing in terms of the playoffs. In fact, the 6A Lady Tigers and 5A Lady Wolves won’t meet again in the postseason. But top-ranked Dripping Springs’ narrow victory over #2 ranked Weiss solidified their position atop our softball Power Rankings heading into the final week of the regular season.

It had otherwise been a stellar week for Weiss, who’d taken down ranked district foes Hendrickson and Georgetown leading up to their showdown. As a result, Weiss remained firmly in the silver slot with Leander moving up to third. Hendrickson bounced back from their loss to Weiss to knock off Georgetown and Pflugerville to move back up to #4 while the Lady Eagles landed at #5.
