Another week of district competition is in the books. While several of the perennial Houston volleyball powers remain on top of the power rankings, nothing is ever set in stone.
In Class 6A, Cy Ranch and Dawson are looking as talented as ever, while Fort Bend Austin, College Park, and Tompkins continue to re-establish their dominance in their respective districts.
Friendswood's hot streak seems to just be getting started as they still surge in Class 5A. Watch out for Barbers Hill, Fulshear, Foster and Goose Creek Memorial though, as they will surely be teams to watch in the postseason.
In the private school race, Fort Bend Christian Academy claims the top spot in their district and our rankings, following a definitive victory over Lutheran South.
Here are the updated VYPE weekly rankings
