Notable: Three teams in the Austin area finished the regular season undefeated: Westlake, Vandegrift and Wimberley. Westlake and Vandegrift are both region IV in Class 6A-Division I, meaning there’s potential for a showdown in four weeks… Wimberley is a favorite to reach the Class 4A-Division II championship game… only one team in our final rankings missed the playoffs: Westwood. The Warriors lost a tiebreaker in a 4-way tie for the final three playoff spots.
