Join David, Scott and special guest VYPEU Ambassador Will Turboff as they watch and break down the 6A D2 UIL State Championship Game between Southlake Carroll and Westlake
Southlake Carroll, meanwhile, looks every bit the part of a top-tier threat, rolling past Byron Nelson with ease. The Dragons have yet to be seriously tested, but that could change this week as they host a surging Trinity team that’s also off to a 3-0 start.
Duncanville remains a looming presence in the top three, despite having just one game under its belt. The Panthers return from a bye to face Waxahachie—a team that’s quietly impressed and could prove to be a tougher out than expected.
In 5A, South Oak Cliff rebounded well from its early loss with a signature win over Longview, while Aledo, Lone Star, and Denton Ryan each extended their perfect starts. All three have looked sharp in different ways, but the coming weeks should offer a clearer sense of staying power.
Among smaller schools, Celina continues to rise after a convincing win over Gunter. A Friday matchup with Franklin will serve as an early litmus test for the Bobcats’ long-term potential.
Though the rankings remain largely unchanged, the tension is beginning to build. With several marquee matchups on deck, Week 4 may start to reveal which teams are truly built to last.

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.
