THE POWER RANKINGS: Dripping Springs ends regular season atop the rankings
The 2024 Texas high school volleyball regular season is in the books. Teams played one last district match last Tuesday, there were a smattering of seeding or playoff warm-up matches, and that was it.
District 26-6A Champion Dripping Springs cemented its spot as “regular season champions,” turning away a game Austin High squad in four tight sets to sweep their season series. Since the Maroons hung so tough twice with the Tigers and also held off Johnson twice earlier in the season, they finished #2 and #3 on the podium in our poll. Wimberley cruised to fourth place and 25-6A champ Vandegrift rounds out the Top 5.
Everyone in 6h through 10th stayed where they were last week. And it almost even makes sense. Cedar Park beat Liberty Hill in two very close matches; the Lady Panthers did the same thing to Georgetown, who held off Weiss in their seeding match to claim a district title. Round Rock held serve to remain in the rankings.
So, as the dust settles on the regular season, here’s a look at our final Top 10 of 2024. Even as you read this, the playoffs are under way. All the discussion and debate give way to real results as the best high school volleyball teams in Texas will settle it all themselves on the court.
Just as it should be.
