It is now time to look back and see how those pre-season rankings in August stacked up.    Looking at the pre-season Class 5A Top 25, 24 of the 25 teams made the playoffs.  The top 25 included both Champions, one semifinalist and three quarterfinalist.

The Allen Eagles won the Division I title after starting out the pre-season as the #5 overall team.  In Division II, the Katy Tigers won their 2nd consecutive title.  They were the pre-season #7 team and 3rd ranked team in Division II.

Allen had the toughest rode to the Championship beating 3 pre-season Top 25 teams.   Smithson Valley (pre-Season #34), Wylie (pre-Season #55), Copperas Cove (pre-Season #51) and Fort Bend Hightower (pre-Season #26) each defeated two pre-season top 25 teams along the way.
