The No. 1-ranked Grapevine Mustangs enter the postseason aiming for a second-straight UIL Championship
Out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, defending UIL-5A state champion Grapevine reclaims the No. 1 spot in our rankings with a stellar 25-2 record entering the postseason.
Close behind are the Boswell Pioneers (27-4), fresh off a District 3-6A title and ready to make noise in the Division II bracket.
Southlake Carroll (24-7-1) edged out rival Keller (25-7) for the District 4-6A crown, though both teams will now chase separate paths in the playoffs.
FM Marcus, Rockwall, and Sachse should also be in the thick of the 6A race, while Aledo and Lovejoy look like top contenders in 5A. Brock, meanwhile, has emerged as a serious force in Class 4A.
Now that the postseason is upon us, it's time to take one last look at the DFW hierarchy before the action officially begins.
