Then it gets messy.
Cedar Ridge split with Vista Ridge (after sweeping Westwood) and dropped a game to McNeil while the Rangers also cruised to a win over Manor; Westwood lost to #10 Round Rock and bounced back with a win over Stony Point. Vandegrift went 3-0 after their split with Cedar Ridge, albeit against unranked Manor and Hutto, to rejoin their district foes in the rankings. Since it’s guesswork until these 25-6A teams sort it out, we’ll put San Marcos at #13, right in the middle of all of them.
Here are the updated Rankings as we head into crunch time!
