THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Hoops Rankings in the regular season's final stages; Lancaster, Marcus ascend
With only a few games left in the regular season, several district races in the Dallas-Fort Worth area remain tight.
Notable shifts have occurred in our rankings since two weeks ago, though Allen (26-1; 12-0 in district) and Lake Ridge (28-2; 8-0) continue to hold firm at the top.
However, Lancaster (22-5; 8-1) has made significant progress, climbing into the Top-3 after their 68-60 win over district rival Duncanville.
Just behind them, North Crowley (24-5) is looking to close out their district slate with strong performances, maintaining momentum for the postseason.
Meanwhile, Flower Mound Marcus makes its debut in the DFW Top-10 following a dramatic 53-51 win over Denton Guyer last week.
As the regular season draws to a close and the playoffs approach, teams will be competing for position. Here’s an updated look of the area’s top basketball programs.

THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Hoops Rankings amid second round of district; Jay, Johnson making strides
For the vast majority of teams across the state, district races are nearing their end, and it's becoming clearer who will continue their season into February.
The San Antonio area is no different, though some notable changes have occurred since we last examined the city's top teams.
Brennan (24-2; 11-0 in district) remains the team to beat. As the top-ranked team in the state (TABC), the Bears look more than capable of climbing the brackets over the next month.
Although Steele (26-4) has dropped their last two district games (to East Central and Judson), it’s hard to move them down in the rankings given their strong overall performance throughout the season. The Knights will look to rebound in their final three games and remain in an optimal position to claim the 29-6A title.
Wagner, winners of six straight, has locked up the District 26-5A championship with an 11-1 record against their rivals.
The Jay Mustangs continue to build momentum, now at 27-2 and perfect (12-0) in 28-5A, moving up a spot on our list.
Similarly, SA Johnson (22-8; 9-0) is in a commanding position for the upcoming 27-6A title.
Reagan (19-8) and Harlan (17-10) have had solid performances, while Clark (19-9) and East Central (19-11) make their first appearances on our list in 2025.
With that in mind, check out how the premier squads of San Antonio are stacking up with just a couple remaining in the regular season.
