Stepp's 6A Region IV Picks: District Projections and Playoff Outlook
Defending state champion Vandegrift has dominated 25-6A over the past few seasons, but the real intrigue is really about who will get those last three playoff spots as year in and year out this district has tremendous balance and parity. Hutto is the surprise pick for the second spot over perennial power Round Rock who was hit hard by graduation losing 56 seniors. McNeil has turned things around in a major way the past three seasons and that momentum should continue as the Mavericks bring fifteen returning starters. Vista Ridge has been a contender for the post-season and the Rangers expect to be in the mix, while Cedar Ridge and Westwood are going through coaching transitions in 2025.
