The Lady Dragons hold a two-game lead over Stony Point with three games left to play… Bowie jumps to No. 3 and has a showdown with visiting Westlake on Friday in a game that will likely determine the District 26-6A championship… Lake Travis quietly gets into the rankings for the first time since Dec. 4.

Class 5A notes

The Class 5A power rankings picked up a new member this week in Navarro. The Lady Vikings take over the No. 5 spot and are in second place in 24-5A. Navarro clinched a playoff spot last week with a win over LBJ and is a game behind McCallum after the Lady Knights lost to Austin LASA last week. … That’s the only change in our 5A poll as Glenn, Liberty Hill, Hendrickson and Georgetown maintain their hold on the No. 1 through No. 4 spots, respectively. … Glenn and Liberty Hill are on a collision course for their rematch at Glenn on Feb. 6. But both have tough matchups this week. The Lady Grizzlies will take on a Cedar Park team that beat them in the first round of District 25-5A play, while Liberty Hill will face a tough Hays team on Friday. … Hendrickson and Georgetown are set for their rematch on Friday at Hendrickson. The Lady Hawks have won nine-straight games, which includes the Jan. 9 victory over the Lady Eagles.

Class 4A-1A notes

Taylor keeps the No. 1 spot and can wrap up the District 22-4A championship with a win Tuesday at home against Giddings. The Lady Ducks completed the season sweep of La Grange on Tuesday with a 52-38 victory. The Lady Leopards can clinch a playoff berth on Tuesday with a win over Austin Achieve and will claim the No. 2 seed from the district with a Giddings loss to Taylor. … Thrall appears to be on a collision course with Milano for the District 27-2A championship. The TIgerettes won games against Granger and Bartlett last week to remain undefeated in district play. Thrall hosts Milano on Feb. 6. … Jarrell will clinch a playoff berth this week, needing just one win in its remaining three games to do so. … Wimberley finds itself in a race with Davenport for the final playoff spot in 27-4A. The playoff situation is in favor of the Lady Texans, who hold a 1½-game lead and a season sweep over Davenport.
