:o #3, #9, #10 & #15, are all from 17-4A...

These rankings don't necessarily reflect the true reality of how good teams are. The only ones I would place any stock in are maybe the first 3 spots. Its about who the coaches or admins know to get their teams ranked (mostly). The only rankings that matter happen at the end of the season, when the state championships are done.

Yea Kingwood Park is really really good and I dont think they are even on the top 25??

Wouldn't put much into this pole, other than the fact it's more of a popularity contest. I agree with most of 17-4A being on it. But, Brenham has already beat the #9 and #10 and has had two close matches with the #3. Brenham is far better than than 15th and PNG is not even close to that level of play!!!! K-PARKED..... PNG earlier in the season.... The sad fact is that the top 6 teams in 17-4a would give the top teams in 18-4A, 19-4A, & 20-4A a run for the district championship. Magnolia, Brenham, Stratford would win without question.

It looks like someone made their own website and just put teams they know. Yes, they have a lot of good teams down but not the best. K-Park should definitely be top 10. Those girls know how to play. Where is Ozen? if PN-G is 16... Bad job ranking these teams whoever it was.

:D I agree.

I have nothing against the man and I appreciate the hard work he has done putting it together. Just needs to research a little more and show correct data. BH starting at #6 in the state before the season and supposedly not in top #25 now and them beating friendswood 2 out of 3 times they played in preseason. A long with Dickinson who isn't even on it. Just not impressed by the rankings but i am impressed by the effort.

The rankings are done by one man receiving emails from parents and coaches.  He does the best he can with the information he receives.

At least these rankings got some people to post on the volleyball board.  At 15 posts, its got a chance to be the most commented thread on volleyball board in quite some time ::).  Besides, rankings will mean nothing in just a few weeks and we will see just how strong or weak the local districts are.

Well it was commented on because how bad the rankings were. Not even close to a real ranking list. Pretty bad in my eyes

I understand that you may not agree with the rankings and/or they are not how YOU would have done them.  However, remember that kids DO read this site, and if their team IS on the list, you are not showing your support for them.  There are some teams missing (I agree), but you still should be praising the teams that DID make the list---let them be proud for a bit!!

I think you should praise your team but lets be real here. 20 4A is a little down this year talent wise and by the way when was the last time a 20 4A team made it to the state tournament? Better yet when was the last time a team from the golden triangle made it to the state tournament? LCM was district champs last year. This year they probably won't make the playoffs and they beat the top 4 teams in 21 3A. No team in the golden triangle should be ranked. That is real...............

And, you're questioning ranked teams & their likelihood of making it to the state tournament????  Well,  when did the state tournament start involving 25 teams???!!!  The rankings are of the top 25---not the top 4!!!  And, by the way, MAKING IT TO THE PLAYOFFS & losing the first round is ALWAYS better than NOT EVEN making the playoffs.....that's not rocket science!

Let me guess....none of YOUR teams are ranked are they???!!!!!!! :'(

You know I am from Orangefield right? Just answer the question, when was the last time a golden triangle team went to the state tournament? I don't have a team. I am realistic are you? Like I said before, No team should be ranked in this area.  Ranking are nothing, but human beings making an educated guess.

Really, you say playoffs? Lets see, 3 teams make in 3A and 4 in 4A. Making the playoffs is a joke.  Just like the all district picks. Hey lets water it down and let everyone participate.

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm  
    • What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
