The Panthers<\/a> (30-3) and Memorial<\/a> (24-3) have skyrocketed in the state rankings, emerging from the fall tournament stage as legitimate contenders wielding ridiculously balanced starting rotations. Tompkins<\/a> (17-5) and Cy Ranch<\/a> (20-7) aren\u2019t far behind among the undeniable heavy-hitters, joined by Clear Springs, Fulshear, College Park, Seven Lakes, and Grand Oaks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jordan (18-7), Dawson (18-11), and Bridgeland (13-9) have each made considerable strides in short order, steadily climbing the charts and adding another layer to an increasingly crowded field.<\/p>\n

The same competitive pulse carries into the 5A\/4A rankings. Lake Creek<\/a> (25-8) has knocked off quality 6A opponents including Grand Oaks, Clear Springs, Plano East, and College Park over the past three weeks, establishing the Lions as a formidable force in 5A. Friendswood (21-6) and Montgomery (26-6) follow closely behind, while breakout squads Kempner (22-2) and Iowa Colony (19-8) have joined the mix.<\/p>\n
