THE TIER LIST: Updated VYPE HOU Softball Rankings in district-play; Katy, Lake Creek, BH, Kingwood have aura
In what feels like the blink of an eye, we're already approaching the conclusion of the first round of district matchups on the Texas high school softball scene.
H-Town features a gauntlet of competitors who appear destined to enjoy lengthy runs in the upcoming playoffs. But where do they rank among each other?
As it stands, Katy has recaptured our top spot, boasting an outstanding 21-1 record -- the only loss coming at the hands of fellow powerhouse Barbers Hill (19-2).
Meanwhile, the 2022 and 2023 UIL-5A Champs Lake Creek (17-0) have yet to experience defeat throughout the spring.
Kingwood (14-2-1) isn't going away anytime soon, and their District 23-6A race will have the Mustangs well-prepared for the playoffs, considering they're matching up against the likes of Atascocita (13-2) and Summer Creek (15-2).
Out of Class 4A, Liberty (14-4) is always going to pose a major threat to any opponent they face.
That being said, check out who's been making waves in the greater Houston-area with our updated softball rankings.

LION PRIDE: Lake Creek Has The Depth To Reach State In Class 5A
Since their inaugural season in 2019, extensive playoff runs have become a staple for Lake Creek. Last spring, the Lions reached the Region III Final for the third consecutive year in Class 5A, further solidifying their reputation as one of Houston’s premier programs.
However, the Lions’ sights are set on more than just a deep postseason—they’re aiming for a championship. Though several key players from last year’s squad have graduated, a strong core returns to help coach Jeremy Schramm’s team reach that goal.
First-team, all-district honorees Wyatt Davis (Sr. SS) and Davis Lee (Sr. OF/DH) bring the veteran leadership needed for a potent lineup. They’ll be joined by junior outfielders Jackson Marshall and Reed Newkirk, both of whom earned second-team honors in 2024. On the mound, Lake Creek has three capable pitchers to anchor the staff: junior Harper Heathcott (second-team), as well as seniors Zachery Alarid (San Jacinto CC-commit) and Jaxson Thompson (East Texas Baptist).
While the Lions will still face the same tough competition after moving over to 17-5A, especially from A&M Consolidated, their aspirations are higher than ever.
