After seven weeks of Texas High School Football, VYPE DFW has scoured everything from the scores, big games, standings, and athlete stats to bring you updated Top 10 football rankings for the Dallas-Fort Worth Area.
Below you'll find each respective list (6A, 5A, 1A-4A, and Private School) with the teams who have topped the charts this season.
One of the best teams in the Dallas-Fort Worth area-- if not the state-- currently is Forney. Having outscored their opponents by a combined 290-31 points this season, the Jackrabbits are continuing a hot streak through five games. What can fans expect as they continue to battle against district opponents?
Through five games, the Jackrabbits have only allowed a combined 31 points; 21 in last week's 42-21 victory over Lufkin and the other 10 in a 64-10 victory over Crandall. Led by Oregon commit Aaron Flowers, Landry Hopkins, and four-star linebacker Kelvion Rigs, the Jackrabbits have the most dominating defenses in the area and are working through their schedule with what seems to be ease week after week; shutting down anyone who lines up across from them.
Javian Osborne, a sophomore running back, leads the offense with 708 rushing yards (averaging about 120 rushing yards per game) and 14 touchdowns (the most in 5A). Orin Gee, Kofi Eduful, Kyle Crawford, Alijah Merkson, and others also help the Jackrabbits offense power through each moment Forney gets to have possession of the ball.
Looking ahead to what might be their most difficult matchup this season, Forney is geared up to amplify their dominance this season against Longview (4-1, 2-0)-- home of the country's No. 1-ranked running back and Oklahoma commit Taylor Tatum. Forney can be expected to pick up pace against this Longview squad. No easy feat, Longview is going to give the Jackrabbits a run for their money and force Forney to come up with fresh moves against this forceful offense. Last season, Forney fell 46-7 against Longview and is hopeful to silence any naysayers headed into Friday's matchup. From there, the team looks at a tough rest of their schedule facing Lancaster next week followed by North Mesquite, McKinney North, and Tyler.
Kick-off this week is slated for 7 p.m. in front of a home crowd!
