It’s championship season for Houston-area volleyball teams as the start of the trek to Garland, Texas – the site of the UIL state tournament – begins now.

So let’s take a look at the favorites coming out of Houston. We begin in Class 6A Region III, where the upper part of the bracket is brutal. Ridge Point, Cypress Ranch, Dawson, Seven Lakes and Friendswood will battle it out just to get to the Regional Finals.

The lower part of the bracket sees Langham Creek, up-start Tompkins, Pearland, Kingwood and Atascocita as the favorites.

In Region III, The Woodlands and Oak Ridge will be on a collision-course to the Regional Finals. Also, watch out for Klein.

In Class 5A Region III, Kingwood Park, Willis, Tomball, Manvel and Barbers Hill are the top squads in H-Town, while Foster will be a tough out in Region IV.
