The end of the 2024-25 Texas high school boys basketball regular season is here, which means it’s time for the final Austin Sports Journal Austin-area rankings of the season. We will revisit these lists after the playoffs conclude in March.
Lake Travis and New Braunfels makes their debuts in our Class 6A and 5A rankings, respectively. The Cavaliers have won nine straight, and with a win on Tuesday, will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the Greater Austin Metropolitan Area.
A few teams did swap places. Round Rock, Westlake and Westwood shuffled in our 6A poll, while McCallum moved up to No. 3 in 5A and Thorndale moved up in 4A and below.
