The first round of district play in the H-Town volleyball scene is nearly wrapped up, and expectations could not be higher.
Throughout their respective divisional matchups, Grand Oaks, Cinco Ranch and Stratford continue to dominate the Class 6A scene. Meanwhile, teams like College Park, Tompkins, Fort Bend Austin and Seven Lakes are re-establishing themselves as serious contenders.

In Class 5A, Fulshear and Barbers Hill are still at the top of the charts, but Foster, Friendswood and Goose Creek Memorial are surging. Those could certainly be interesting matchups should any of these squads meet in the postseason.
As they enter their divisional race, Episcopal appears to be the team to beat among their SPC counterparts. Furthermore, the onus will be on Lutheran South, FBCA and Concordia Lutheran to conquer their TAPPS opponents.
Here are the updated VYPE weekly rankings.
