Entering the third week of the new season, early trends across the DFW metroplex are beginning to crystallize. While it's still too early to draw sweeping conclusions, the latest rankings highlight a few programs that have made their presence felt — and others showing flashes of long-term promise.
North Crowley remains atop the list after a resilient comeback win over DeSoto, one of the region’s most talented rosters. The Panthers’ athleticism and composure under pressure are starting to match their preseason hype.
They’ll be tested again this week when they travel to Denton Guyer — a team that looked much sharper in a bounce-back win over Martin.
Southlake Carroll and Duncanville are as formidable as ever. Carroll handled Hebron with ease and now prepares for a tricky road test at Byron Nelson. Duncanville, fresh off a hard-fought win over South Oak Cliff, heads into a bye week with confidence and key reps under their belt.
Elsewhere in 6A, Lewisville impressed with a strong win over Byron Nelson and will look to keep momentum against Rockwall. Allen and Prosper have yet to be seriously tested but remain undefeated and efficient in all phases.
In 5A, Aledo continues to impose its will defensively, while South Oak Cliff — despite a narrow loss — remains dangerous. Denton Ryan and Frisco Lone Star are both off to strong starts, showing discipline on both sides of the ball.
Highland Park rebounded with a dominant shutout of Lovejoy, and 4A power Celina held off La Vega in a shootout thriller, setting up an exciting matchup with Gunter.
With district play approaching, the coming week could offer even more clarity as top programs begin facing real resistance.

Friday, September 5 – 7:00 PM // Crowley ISD Multi-Purpose Stadium -- Fort Worth, TX
Two of Texas high school football’s heavyweight programs collide this Friday night, as nationally ranked North Crowley welcomes perennial contender DeSoto for a marquee Week 2 matchup.
...
North Crowley enters the game riding high after a historic 2024 campaign.
Since head coach Ray Gates took over in 2022, the Panthers have steadily risen to national prominence — culminating in last season’s dominant run to the UIL 6A Division I state title. Currently ranked No. 20 in the country and third in Texas by MaxPreps, the Panthers are showing no signs of slowing down.
Despite graduating a talented core — including Chris Jimerson (North Texas), Quentin Gibson (Colorado), Cornelius Warren III (Arizona), and Ja’Brelle Asberry (Incarnate Word) — North Crowley opened the 2025 season with a gritty 22-18 win over Lancaster.
The victory wasn’t as flashy as last year’s 50-21 dismantling of Westlake in the title game, but it was a strong early test passed by a reloaded roster.
Junior QB Hayes Cloutier, a promising three-star prospect, looks poised to lead the offense. He’s quickly developing chemistry with sophomore wideout Damarion Mays — a four-star recruit with offers from blue-blood programs like Ohio State, Georgia, and Texas.
In the trenches, senior offensive lineman John Turntine III (Texas-commit) anchors a unit that should give Cloutier -- as well as tailbacks G'yrell Smith (Jr. RB) and Cam Russell (Sr. RB) -- the time and space they need to operate.
On the defensive side, Gates' squad remains stacked.
Junior DB Elijajuan “Fat” Houston is coming off a breakout season that earned him District 3-6A Defensive Newcomer of the Year. He's joined the by 6-foot-4 three-star safety Aaron Bradshaw (Texas Tech), forming a scary duo in the NoCro secondary.
Up front, 6A-D1 State Defensive MVP Derrick “Big D” Gleason III headlines a punishing defensive line that also features senior standouts DeMorey Beasley and Jurwone Irvin.
Add in linebackers like Avery Dotson and Colorado State-bound cornerback Thomas Cook Jr., and it’s easy to see why the Panthers remain elite on both sides of the ball.
…
DeSoto, meanwhile, is looking to rebound after a tough opening loss to Creekside (GA).
Under the leadership of head coach Claude Mathis, the Eagles captured back-to-back 6A-Division II State titles in 2022 and 2023 before falling to Longview in last year’s Region 1 Final.
Despite the early stumble, DeSoto remains a dangerous threat — and Friday’s clash offers a prime opportunity to reassert themselves.
Senior wideout Ethan “Boobie” Feaster will be central to that effort. The USC-commit and returning unanimous all-district selection is a dynamic playmaker capable of changing a game in an instant.
Up front, DeSoto boasts one of the state’s most coveted defensive linemen in junior K’Adrian “Big Juicy” Redmond, who holds offers from Notre Dame, Texas, USC, and more. Junior edge rusher DJ Rumph adds to the pressure, with programs like Michigan, Georgia, and Pittsburgh already showing heavy interest.
…
Both teams have something to prove: North Crowley is looking to defend its crown against a familiar powerhouse, while DeSoto is aiming to bounce back and regain momentum. Expect intensity, physicality, and no shortage of big-time talent on display when these two collide.
