The most compelling clash ahead may come in District 5-6A, where Denton Guyer (6–2) and Lewisville (7–1) square off with the district title likely hanging in the balance. The stakes don’t get much higher.
In 5A, the usual suspects continue to dominate their respective brackets. South Oak Cliff and Aledo rolled to commanding wins, maintaining their grip as frontrunners, while Frisco Lone Star, Denton Ryan, and Argyle remain close behind — each showcasing steady, disciplined play down the stretch.
Meanwhile, Highland Park, Melissa, and North Forney stay in the mix, with the Falcons’ upcoming test against Longview carrying serious playoff weight.
With only a handful of games left, separation is scarce and every possession feels heavier. For teams sitting on the brink — whether unbeaten or unproven — the difference between dominance and disappointment may come down to a single Friday night drive.

Duncanville (4-1) and North Crowley (6-1) remain in steady pursuit, both showing signs of championship-caliber form as their defenses have begun to tighten.
In Class 5A, Lone Star (7-0), Highland Park (6-1), and Melissa (5-1) hover just beneath South Oak Cliff (6-1) and Aledo (7-0), representing programs that continue to evolve with each passing week. Celina (7-0) once again anchors the 4A discussion — balanced, battle-tested, and built for November.
Elsewhere, Denton Guyer (5-2) appears to have rediscovered its rhythm, Coppell (5-1) has emerged as a legitimate riser after toppling Lewisville (6-1), and Rockwall-Heath (6-1) quietly remains one of the most dangerous teams in the area.
Approaching kickoff this week, separation is minimal, but urgency is rising — and the next two contests will go a long way in defining who’s truly built for a deep run.

Others to Watch: North Forney Falcons (10-6A), Wakeland Wolverines (5-5A-D1), Forney Jackrabbits (10-6A), Cedar Hill Longhorns (11-6A), Trinity Trojans (4-6A), Mansfield Summit Jaguars (3-5A-D2)
Two familiar 6A challengers, Southlake Carroll (26-5) and Keller (28-6), are among the few to have taken a set off the Bobcats this year — no small feat — while Allen (33-5) and Plano West (25-5) have also positioned themselves well for extensive playoff runs toward the Curtis Culwell Center.
At the 5A level, McKinney North (31-3) headlines the conversation after its memorable State Final appearance last fall.
The Bulldogs look every bit capable of another charge, though programs like Aledo (35-2), Highland Park (34-8), Argyle (31-3), and Frisco Liberty (29-4) each bring enough firepower to disrupt the order – depending on how the divisions are split.
Even beyond the Top-10, the competitive depth is unmistakable. Mansfield (42-1), Flower Mound (32-7), and Duncanville (34-6) in 6A — along with Walnut Grove (30-7), Wakeland (23-7), and Lovejoy (27-12) in 5A — all linger as postseason wildcards capable of flipping any bracket.
And with every rally from here on out carrying real weight, the margins separating DFW’s powerhouses have never felt slimmer.
