TIPPING THE SCALE: Several teams shaking up H-Town Rankings amid district-play
As the Spring season reaches its mid-way point, fans eagerly await for the remainder of the district schedule to unfold, with a trip to the 2024 playoffs on the line.
Bridgeland, Klein Cain, and Willis are among the handful of ball-clubs to make considerable strides in Class 6A, while the established heavy-hitters -- Tomball and Pearland -- continue to perform at a high level. Additionally, teams such as Strake Jesuit, Kingwood, Oak Ridge, Cy Woods, and Grand Oaks are well within the fold.
Moving over to Class 5A, the Lake Creek Lions are looking every bit as dominant as they were in 2023, when they reached the Region III Final. It will be interesting to see how the District 16-5A race plays out, given the degree that Porter and Kingwood Park are surging. Also watch out for perennial contenders -- Friendswood, Santa Fe, La Porte, and Foster.
Lutheran South Academy currently leads the private school ranks, as each phase of their game has been clicking on all cylinders. Meanwhile, Concordia Lutheran, St. Pius X, St. Thomas, and St. John's are picking up speed in their respective divisions.
That being said, it's time to unveil the full rankings.
