THE TIER LIST: Updated VYPE HOU Baseball Rankings; Kingwood, Tomball, Memorial, BH thriving
Just like that, we've already reached the first wave of district games in the Texas high school baseball season.
Suffice it to say, there have been numerous developments made thus far, which also entails some movement in our overall rankings.
Kingwood has skyrocketed since the preseason, as the Mustangs are now 19-1 on the year and show no signs of slowing down.
Trailing just behind are the Tomball Cougars, who still remain one of the city's most intimidating clubs, with a loaded bullpen to back that notion, and the same can be said for Houston Memorial.
Similarly, The Woodlands has been on a hot-streak throughout the entire spring, particularly turning heads in the tournament section and have a firm grasp on the lead in District 13-6A.
Don't sleep on other 6A contenders like Katy, Pearland, and Bridgeland, either.
In Class 5A, Barbers Hill (17-3) has been balling, though Friendswood, Lake Creek, and Kingwood Park are starting to make some noise as well.
With all that in mind, here's a look at the new VYPE Baseball rankings as we near the mid-way point of district-play in H-Town.

DIRTBOYS: Magnolia West Ready To Do Damage In First Year In 6A
Despite a slow start to the season, largely due to injuries, the Mustangs found their groove as playoff time approached and never looked back. After capturing the 5A Title in 2023, Mag West would end up reaching the State Semis for the second time in program history last June.
Unfortunately, their hopes for a repeat were dashed by Lovejoy in a 4-0 loss. Now, as the Dirt Boys ascend to District 15-6A in the realignment, they’ll face new competition, including defending State Champions Tomball, as well as Klein Cain, Klein Oak, Klein Collins, and others.
It won’t take long for coach Travis Earles and his team to make their presence felt, thanks to a roster brimming with talent. Baylor-commit Caldwell McFaddin returns to lead the batting order and will anchor the infield from third base.
He’ll be joined by junior shortstop Lukas Huff. The outfield will feature a rotation of seniors Cody Palacios (San Jacinto JC), Carson Dunaway, Cooper Wilkinson, and Carson Parker. On the mound, senior Nolan Cruz is expected to take on a leading role this spring.
