WARNING: Sharks circling new VYPE Rankings; Class 6A, 5A, 4A, Privates
The VYPE rankings are coming into focus as the powers are starting to emerge.
North Shore and Atascocita are looking like serious State contenders but will pick each other off in district play and the playoffs.
Put Shadow Creek in that first cut too, as coach Brad Butler’s team has that look. They outran Bridgeland on Friday.
Just when everyone is wanting to bury Katy… the Tigers knocked out Tompkins in a big district contest.
Lake Creek and FB Marshall are on a playoff collision course in Class 5A and Hitchcock hung 50 over the weekend.
Here are the storylines for Week 3.
…
HARD FLEX – North Shore is getting their legs under them running away from Westfield. District sked will be tough.
BIGGEST SURPRISE – Summer Creek is dirty after blanking Top 10 Klein Collins 34-0 to go 3-0.
SLEEPER – Cypress Springs is making some noise, but can they keep it up as their schedule toughens late in the season?
PRIVATE SCHOOL LOOK IN – Episcopal looks dominant after taking down super-power Parish Episcopal and blanking Second Baptist.
