Denton Ryan has posted a 86-5 record since 2015 and are currently the reigning Class 5A State Champions with a 15-0 undefeated season in 2020. Fans can expect to see nothing less than the Ryan Raider best this weekend as they face-off against Denton Guyer. Ryan is coming off of a 40-7 win over Longview last week. Key players to watch for the Raiders include ive-star linebacker/running back Anthony Hill Jr. Hill is ranked as the No. 1 linebacker in the nation in the class of 2023. Hill had 10 carries for 62 yards and a single touchdown last week. Other key players for Ryan are four-star Texas commit Austin Jordan and Kalib Hicks (who posted 139-yards with three touchdowns last week).
Denton Guyer has won 60 consecutive regular-season games. Read that one more time. Denton Guyer has won 60 consecutive regular-season wins. The Wildcats are coming into week 2 after allowing only 209 yards of total offense in a 46-17 win over Hebron last week. Guyer defense didn't allow a single point in the first half of their game last week and forced four turnovers. Keep an eye on Guyer quarterback, Jackson Arnold, as he posted 225-yards of offense last week with two touchdowns to his name.
Previous Meetings
This will be the third time that Denton Ryan and Denton Guyer have faced each other in 7 seasons. Denton Ryn has won both previous matchups: 31-28 in 2015 and 23-20 just last season. The key to the game this season will be whether or not Denton Ryan can force their way through an extremely tough Guyer defense.
Grapevine hasn’t skipped a beat since capturing the 5A Division 2 state title last spring, entering the postseason with a pristine 28-3 record. Aledo, the reigning 5A Division 1 champion, is right there with them, as a 28-4 campaign positions the Bearcats well for a repeat bid.
Keller (29-2-2) has quickly reasserted itself among the state’s elite and now sets its sights on pushing beyond the Regional rounds, while Waxahachie (30-2) appears poised to follow a similar path.
Lovejoy (23-4-1) rounds out the top tier of contenders in Class 5A, while Hebron (23-6-2), Jesuit (24-7-2), Guyer (25-8), Heath (23-8), and Allen (22-9) have clearly separated themselves within the 6A landscape.
The brackets beckon, so let's get right into the region's hierarchy.
