The Austin area is filled to the brim with state contenders, beginning with perennial power Westlake, who was one victory away from reaching the UIL-6A-DI title game a year ago.
They’re on a collision course back to the championship, but they aren’t the only ones vying for supremacy. District rival Lake Travis should give them a run for their money in 6A, alongside the always threatening Vandegrift Vipers.
Meanwhile, Smithson Valley looks to make a name for themselves, while LBJ is primed to dominate in Class 4A.
All that being said, here are our composite rankings as we head into Week 2 of the new season.
