THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Basketball Rankings amid tournament season; Lake Ridge soars into Top-3
With the holidays upon us, we're in the heat of the tournament stage of this year's Texas high school basketball season.
Just as they were placed in our preseason rankings, the Allen Eagles continue to perform at an exceptional level, which means they retain their top spot in the Dallas-area.
Although, the No.1-ranked team in the state (MaxPreps) certainly has their work cut out for them in District 6-6A, as Plano East, Prosper, and Plano West are as formidable as they come.
Lake Ridge has continued where they left off a year ago, reaching the State Semifinals and now boasting an impressive 18-1 record as they rise through the ranks.
However, the likes of North Crowley, Denton Guyer, and Duncanville are not to be underestimated, while Mansfield Summit makes considerable strides within Class 5A.
With that in mind, see how the top squads in Dallas are shaping up as we head into the final stretch of the 2024 tournament stage.
