At the 3A level, the London Pirates rank the highest among ranked area teams at No. 4. In 4A, Corpus Christi Miller ranked No. 15 with Tuloso-Midway not far behind at No. 21. The Miller Buccaneers square off in a much-anticipated non-district bout on Monday, February 8 at Miller High School.

The Valley tabbed two teams in the boys TABC rankings with Santa Rosa at No. 17 in 3A and Santa Maria No. 24 in 2A. San Perlita wrapped up the ranked-boys teams at No. 9 in 1A. The Trojans upset ranked McMullen County in late January.

On the girls’ side, 12 squads found their name in the poll.

The highest-ranked girls team came out at No. 6 with the Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial Lady Eagles, who sit at 21-2 on the year. The Lady Eagles have two tough contests left at Flour Bluff and home against Victoria West.

Valley 6A powerhouses Harlingen and Edinburg found themselves at No. 16 and No. 22. The Lady Bobcats fell to district foe PSJA but still control the league and have already sealed another district title. Harlingen Lady Cardinals head coach Ashley Moncivaiz collected her 200th career win in her seventh season at Harlingen.
