As a reminder of what teams are eligible to included in the rankings… for UIL rankings, schools in Harris County, the surrounding counties and schools they compete against in district play are eligible to be ranked. For non-UIL rankings, only schools in Harris County and the surrounding counties are eligible.

Without further ado, here are my pre-season rankings:
