Texas, California and Midwest high school volleyball teams continue their quest for both state and national championships as the 2025 season winds into November.

Top-ranked and unbeaten Byron Nelson (Trophy Club, Texas, 38-0) remained on track to repeat as state and national champ with two more wins in the 2025 UIL Texas Volleyball Class 6A, Division 1 playoffs. But right on the Bobcats’ heels are a pair of red-hot California squads.

Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, 38-3), ranked No. 2, will face off against No. 3 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, 31-4) for the 2025 CIF Southern Section Girls Volleyball Championship on Saturday, Nov. 8, in one of the biggest matches of the season.

In Indiana, No. 4 Carroll (Fort Wayne, 36-0) advanced to the 2025 IHSAA Class 4A state championship match against Plainfield (29-5) on Nov. 8.

Down South, No. 11 Calvary Christian (Clearwater, Fla., 31-1) powered to the Class 3A state championship by beating longtime power Lake Highland Prep (Orlando), 3-0.

In Georgia, No. 9, two-time defending Class 6A state champ Alpharetta (Georgia, 38-2) was stunned by Walton, 3-1, in the 2025 GHSA Volleyball Class AAAAAA state championship match.

New to the rankings are No. 24 McGill-Toolen (Mobile, Ala., 47-2), which won its fourth consecutive title with a 3-1 victory against Thompson; and No. 25 Southlake Carroll (Texas, 31-5), which is still alive in the hunt for a state title.
