POWER RANKINGS

Wow how time flies, right? A couple weeks ago, we broke ground on our VYPE DFW baseball preview and now we're already into district play across the DFW. In that preview, we said we'd break out the Power Rankings as the dust settled from the beginning of the season and the best of the best began to show themselves. We'll, we've reached that point. It's that time of the season where we put pen to paper as to who is the best in the area, right now.

Another week has passed in the Texas high school basketball season. Over that past week, we had some matchups featuring teams ranked in our Power Rankings, including a 1-vs-2 matchup in the girls 6A hoops. As the playoffs drawer closer and closer, we have the latest set of rankings with a a couple new No. 1s across the area - DeSoto girls basketball supplanting Duncanville; Fort Worth Christian moving in the boys Private 5A No. 6A Power Rankings6A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Duncanville (18-1) 1 2 North Crowley (20-1) 2 3 South Grand Prairie (14-0) 3 4 McKinney (20-2) 5 5 Richardson (16-1) 6 6 Waxahachie (14-2) 4 7 Coppell (14-2) 7 8 Mansfield (15-3) 8 9 Byron Nelson (15-2) 9 10 Lake Highlands (13-6) UR*record based on MaxPreps.com6A Girls Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 DeSoto (19-1) 2 2 South Grand Prairie (16-2) 3 3 Ducanville (22-2) 1 4 Plano East (13-3) 6 5 Mesquite Horn (19-4) 7 6 Plano (15-4) 8 7 Allen (14-3) 4 8 Denton Guyer (15-5) 9 9 Arlington Martin (17-4) 4 10 Mansfield (14-6) UR*record based on MaxPreps.com5A Power Rankings5A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Frisco Wakeland (18-2) 1 2 Mansfield Summit (16-2) 2 3 South Oak Cliff (11-3) 4 4 Mansfield Timberview (12-3) 5 5 Lancaster (19-4) 6 6 Frisco Heritage (17-4) 7 7 Denton Ryan (16-5) 8 8 Aledo (18-3) 3 9 Lucas Lovejoy (13-3) UR 10 McKinney North (16-4) 9*record based on MaxPreps.com5A Girls Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Mansfield Legacy (21-1) 1 2 Wylie East (20-3) 3 3 Lake Dallas (19-4) 5 4 Princetone (19-4) 2 5 McKinney North (17-4) 7 6 Grapevine (18-4) 8 7 Red Oak (19-5) 4 8 Highland Park (17-6) 10 9 Burleson (15-6) 9 10 Frisco Memorial (16-5) 6*record based on MaxPreps.com4A Power Rankings4A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Argyle (18-1) 1 2 Dallas Carter (18-1) 2 3 Decatur (19-4) 3 4 Oak Cliff FFA (17-5) 4 5 Alvarado (14-2) 5 6 Midlothian Heritage (17-3) 6 7 Fort Worth YMLA (13-3) 8 8 Kaufman (11-4) 10 9 Waxahachie Life (15-4) 7 10 Anna (16-6) 9*record based on MaxPreps.com4A Girls Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Sunnyvale (22-1) 1 2 Fort Worth Dunbar (18-2) 3 3 Decatur (18-3) 2 4 Dallas Pinkston (19-5) 5 5 Sanger (17-5) 7 6 Midlothian Heritage (17-4) 6 7 Melissa (18-5) 4 8 Terrell (13-7) 9 9 Dallas Lincoln (11-6) 10 10 Argyle (14-9) 8*record based on MaxPreps.com3A Power Rankings3A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Brock (19-2) 1 2 Dallas Madison (13-5) 2 3 Scurry-Rosser (7-2) 3 4 Ponder (12-8) 4 5 Grandview (10-9) 5*record based on MaxPreps.com3A Girls Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Ponder (22-3) 1 2 Grandview (11-8) 2 3 Paradise (8-9) UR 4 Brock (9-9) 3 5 Scurry-Rosser (9-13) 4*record based on MaxPreps.comBoys Private Rankings6A/SPC Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM PREVIOUS RANK 1 Plano John Paul II (19-1) 1 2 Arlington Oakridge (12-3) 4 3 Addison Trinity (15-4) 2 4 Dallas St. Mark's (5-1) 3 5 Dallas Bishop Lynch (17-6) 5*record based on TABC Hoops5A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Fort Worth Christian (16-9) 3 2 Grapevine Faith (15-8) 2 3 McKinney Christian (20-6) 1 4 Dallas Christian (11-9) 5 5 Frisco Legacy (12-9) 4*record based on TABC Hoops4A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Arlington Grace Prep (16-1) 1 2 Arlington Pantego (14-9) 2 3 Willow Park Trinity (9-9) 3 4 Dallas Covenant (4-5) 4 5 Fort Worth Lake Country (9-11) 5*record based on MaxPreps.com3A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Dallas Yavneh (3-0) 2 2 North Dallas Adventist (9-4) 3 3 Denton Calvary (7-5) 1 4 Watuaga Harvest (10-8) 4 5 Lucas Christian (4-6) 5*record based on MaxPreps.com2A Boys Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 Red Oak Ovilla (16-3) 1 2 Garland Christian (10-3) 2 3 Weatherford Christian (10-6) 3 4 Fort Worth Covenant Classical (7-6) 4*record based on MaxPreps.comGirls Private Rankings6A/SPC Girls Power RankingsRANK TEAM PREVIOUS RANK 1 Argyle Liberty Christian (12-2) 1 2 Dallas Bishop Lynch (14-4) 2 3 Addison Trinity (14-7) 4 4 Plano John Paul II (10-5) 3 5 Plano Prestonwood (10-7) 5*record based on MaxPreps.com5A Girls Power RankingsRANK TEAM (RECORD) PREVIOUS RANK 1 FW Southwest Christian (17-1) 1 2 Fort Worth Christian (12-5) 3 3 Dallas Christian (11-5) 4 4 Frisco Legacy (15-6) 2 5 FW All Saints (7-5) UR*record based on MaxPreps.com

VYPE whipped together this preview to get cross country fans ready for the 2020 season. These are the top runners and teams for Public School Boys Cross Country. When you look at a team that finished 16th overall at state last year but brings back everyone, that excites you. Other To Watch: HuffmanThe Huffman boys finished 15th overall at the UIL State Cross Country meet last year. The Spartans finished 12th overall at state last year but do lose top runner Erick Lara, who took 41st overall.
