THE POWER RANKINGS: Top teams tread water in this week’s Austin area volleyball rankings

Only two teams in our Top 10 dropped a match this past week. Both of those we 5-set matches; Liberty Hill falling at fellow-ranked Cedar Park and Weiss dropping a non-district match at Waco Midway. (Non-district matches are mostly meaningless scrimmages this late in the season.)

As a result, not much has changed this week. Wimberley did sneak back in front of Vandegrift, thanks in large part to a clutch road win at Davenport. While Cedar Park remained at #6 after sweeping the season series against Liberty Hill, Round Rock ticked up as the Lady Panthers slipped a spot.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 as of October 21st as we head into the next-to-last week of the regular season:
