Now that district-play is in full swing, the road to the playoffs finally begins.
As it stands, there is a superfluous amount of Houston-area teams that could potentially enjoy lengthy postseason runs.
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.
