THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Final Girls Basketball Rankings as playoffs near; Braswell, Argyle climb
It's almost that time of year again.
Now that regular season reaches its closing stages, the stakes are about to increase dramatically as teams across the state prepare to battle it out in the ensuing playoffs.
As it stands, not much has changed in our rankings from just a couple of weeks ago.
Boswell (31-2) has all but sealed a district title, and the same can be said for Duncanville (23-5), and 4A powerhouse Lincoln (30-2).
Denton Guyer (27-3) and Braswell (29-2) are both locked at 10-1 in District 5-6A, with Guyer holding a narrow advantage after defeating the Bengals (49-47) in their first district matchup earlier this month. However, the ultimate decider will be the rematch in the regular season finale on February 4th.
Flower Mound, South Grand Prairie, and Lancaster round out some of the formidable forces in 6A, while Argyle continues to gain momentum in the 5A classification.
With the postseason just around the corner, here is the last set of rankings as the Dallas area gears up for the road to the Alamodome.

BIRDS OF PREY: Argyle pursuing first 5A State Title, seventh overall
The Argyle girls basketball program stands as one of the most consistent and successful teams in the history of the UIL.
Since the school’s founding in 1999, the Eagles have become a model of excellence, reaching the State Tournament 10 times and claiming six state championships—2006 in 2A, and a dominant stretch from 2015 to 2019 in 4A.
Their impressive legacy speaks to the strong culture and tradition that has been built over the years, with the team’s reputation growing as they ascend through classifications.
Argyle's move to Class 5A in the 2022-23 season brought with it tougher competition, but the Eagles didn’t miss a beat.
In their first year in 5A, they finished with an impressive 31-4 record, advancing to the Area Finals. In the following season, they maintained that high level of play, going 34-5 and making it to the Regional Semifinals.
The 2024-25 campaign has been no different, with the seventh-year head coach Chance Westmoreland and co. currently holding a record of 27-4, securing them a spot in the DFW Top-10.
Argyle’s path to success this season has been paved by several key victories, including dominant wins over tough opponents such as Flour Bluff (59-26), Westlake (42-30), and 4A powerhouse Glen Rose (49-42).
However, perhaps the most pivotal victory came earlier this month against Denton Ryan (55-39), which solidified Argyle’s position at the top of District 6-5A with an undefeated 8-0 record.
This year’s team features a talented roster, with several standout players making significant contributions.
Sophomore Wrigley Green, a versatile combo guard, has quickly emerged as a leader on the court. After earning a second-team, all-district nod last season, Green’s ability to impact both ends of the floor has been invaluable to Argyle’s success.
She is joined by senior guard/forward Kennedy Hafer, a Lehigh commit, and junior forward Brooklynn Northeim, both of whom consistently produce on offense and defense.
Veteran players like senior Zoe Jackson, junior McKenzie Napier, as well as sophomores Kensley Vest and Landry Murphy round out the talented squad, all of whom are poised for a deep playoff run.
Argyle’s recent success includes a trip to the State Tournament in 2022, where they were still in 4A.
With only a few district games left to play, the Eagles are well on their way to adding another remarkable chapter to their already impeccable history, with high hopes for a strong postseason run.
