THE POWER RANKINGS: Tigers trip Maroons, remain atop this week’s Austin area volleyball rankings

If they weren’t any good, they wouldn’t be in the rankings – and they keep on winning, so they must be good!

That pretty much sums up this week’s Austin-area 4A-6A volleyball rankings, which remain largely unchanged. Dripping Springs cemented its place on top with a straight set win over #2 Austin High, although all three sets were reasonably close. That, combined with two previous wins over new #3 Buda Johnson, kept the Maroons in the second spot.

Johnson and Vandegrift both moved up as Wimberley slipped to #5 after losing a tough 5-set match to a very good Davenport club. The bottom five remain the same, with Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, Weiss and Georgetown sweeping all their opponents; #10 Round Rock also won both their matches although they had the audacity to drop a set to Stony Point.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 as of October 7th:
