District 30-5A Girls Basketball Title Still Up for Grabs

Final regular season game to determine champion and playoff seeding

Published on Feb. 9, 2026

With one game remaining in the regular season, the District 30-5A girls basketball title remains undecided, setting the stage for a dramatic final night of action. While the four playoff teams have already been locked in, their final order — and potentially a district championship — will not be determined until Tuesday's games conclude.

Why it matters

The race for the District 30-5A girls basketball title is extremely close, with three teams still in contention. The outcome of the final games will not only determine the district champion, but also the playoff seeding for the four teams that have already clinched postseason berths.

The details

Mission Veterans currently holds the top spot in the standings with a 13-3 district record. However, Cigarroa and La Joya Palmview are both tied for second place at 12-3 and still have an opportunity to force a three-way tie for first place with victories in their regular-season finales. Rio Grande City has secured fourth place at 11-4 and will enter the postseason knowing its seed regardless of Tuesday's outcomes.

  • The regular season concludes on Tuesday, February 9, 2026.
