High School Football
VYPE rankings: The top 20 entering postseason play
Originally appeared on Vype.com.
And just like that, the 2017-18 high school football regular season is over. Hard to believe isn’t it?
The season took a wild turn due to Hurricane Harvey and some schools will never be the same. Everyone came together and made adjustments to pull off a great season.
So now it’s do-or-die as the playoffs begin this week. Here are the rankings entering the postseason.
Several of the names are familiar power programs including Katy, Manvel, The Woodlands, Klein Collins and Westfield among others. Other teams who are not household names may include Ridge Point, Langham Creek, FB Bush and New Caney, but they are in the dance.
So let’s get it started as the race to the state finals begins this week.
