Sharyland Pioneer was not ranked since they did not meet the 6-year, 2013 varsity ball cut-off.
Donna North was also not ranked since their inaugural 5-game 2013 season is not being considered a “varsity” season. For the record, Donna North has gone 6-50 over the last 6 years, so had they been included in these rankings, they would have fallen below Brownsville Porter.
The worst team on the list was Houston-Sam Houston, a 6A school that has posted a 2-54 record over the last 6 years.
