THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Final Girls Basketball Rankings as playoffs near; Braswell, Argyle climb

It's almost that time of year again.

Now that regular season reaches its closing stages, the stakes are about to increase dramatically as teams across the state prepare to battle it out in the ensuing playoffs.

As it stands, not much has changed in our rankings from just a couple of weeks ago.

Boswell (31-2) has all but sealed a district title, and the same can be said for Duncanville (23-5), and 4A powerhouse Lincoln (30-2).

Denton Guyer (27-3) and Braswell (29-2) are both locked at 10-1 in District 5-6A, with Guyer holding a narrow advantage after defeating the Bengals (49-47) in their first district matchup earlier this month. However, the ultimate decider will be the rematch in the regular season finale on February 4th.

Flower Mound, South Grand Prairie, and Lancaster round out some of the formidable forces in 6A, while Argyle continues to gain momentum in the 5A classification.

With the postseason just around the corner, here is the last set of rankings as the Dallas area gears up for the road to the Alamodome.
