THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Girls Basketball Rankings with district titles on the line; SGP, D'Ville elevate
As we pass the midpoint of district play, the race for respective playoff seeding across the state has reached its pinnacle.
However, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the battle for supremacy seems especially tight, with margins between teams growing ever smaller. It’s no surprise, given that this region has long been home to some of the finest high school girls’ basketball programs in the state.
In our updated composite rankings, Boswell remains in the top spot. The Pioneers are perfect in district play (8-0) and sport an impressive 28-2 overall record, firmly establishing themselves as a powerhouse.
Right behind them is Denton Guyer, with a 24-3 record and a 7-1 mark in district. The Wildcats have the distinction of being the only team in Texas to have defeated Boswell this season, taking down the Pioneers 54-51 on December 3.
The District 5-6A race, however, remains far from decided, as Braswell and Flower Mound are right on Guyer’s heels, setting the stage for an enticing photo finish.
Meanwhile, defending UIL-6A State Champions, Duncanville, are finding their stride as the season progresses. With a solid 20-5 record, they’re well on their way to securing yet another District 11-6A title.
South Grand Prairie, last year’s 6A runners-up, are also back on track, sporting a 21-6 record and an undefeated 8-0 district mark, signaling their intent for another deep postseason run.
In addition, Argyle and Wakeland continue to lead the charge in Class 5A, while Lincoln and Glen Rose remain formidable forces in 4A.
With the stakes higher than ever, it’s a thrilling time for DFW girls high school hoops. Check out our full rankings for all the latest movements and what’s at stake as the postseason approaches.

THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Girls Basketball Rankings at the season's midway-point; Guyer, Lincoln on the rise
Just like that, we're already well within the tournament portion of this new winter season.
On its face, this stage presents several opportunities for programs to hone their skills against some potent competition. From the audiences' perspective, it allows us to further understand the who's who of Texas high school girls hoops.
As predicted in the preseason, the Boswell Pioneers appears to be the team to beat in Class 6A, as they currently maintain an daunting record of 21-1 and are the No. 1-ranked team in the state, according to MaxPreps.
Following Boswell in the state rankings are the Lincoln Tigers, who have yet to be defeated entering the holiday season, and are primed to dominate Class 4A in the coming months.
One of the most welcome surprises throughout 2024 so far, however, has been the emergence of Denton Guyer. After going 10-20 last winter, the Wildcats have made a stunning turn-around and are now regarded as a legitimate state power.
This isn't meant to downplay the threat posed by Braswell, Flower Mound, Prosper, and, of course, the 2024 State Champs Duncanville in Class 6A, all of whom will be key contenders in the upcoming postseason.
Additionally, fans should keep an eye on Argyle (5A), Wakeland (5A), and Glen Rose (4A), as each are off to tremendous starts.
Now, with all that out of the way, it's time to examine the premier forces the city has to offer, in our updated DFW rankings.
