Lamar Consolidated High School football came out on top Friday night, ending their two-game losing streak with a much needed 55-14 win against Montgomery.
Baylor commit Taye McWilliams, who finished with 121 yards and three scores on 11 carries, scored the first touchdown of the night for Lamar Consolidated with 7:10 left in the first quarter. Montgomery remained scoreless throughout the entire first half and trailed Lamar Consolidated 28-0 at halftime.
Lamar Consolidated quarterback Byron Harris finished 9 of 15 for 145 yards and a touchdown.
After the break, Montgomery scored one touchdown each in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. They were unsuccessful in their comeback attempts in the end. Montgomery now stands at 1-4 in district play.
Montgomery will seek a key win next week against Paetow while Lamar Consolidated hopes to clinch a playoff spot with a win over Cleveland at their homecoming game.

It’s doubtful anyone could have predicted that Cedar Park vs. Vandegrift would become one of the most eagerly anticipated Texas high school football annual showdowns when they met for the first time in 2010. Cedar Park, after all, was building towards its apex as a 4A/5A power last decade, culminating in 4A and 5A state championships in 2012 and 2015.
Vandegrift, on the other hand, was a brand-new program carved primarily from Cedar Park HS in 2009 and initially practicing at Cedar Park’s facilities. For years, the one-sided “rivalry” was literally Big Brother vs. Little Brother.
But as Head Coach Drew Sanders gradually turned the Vipers into a perennial power, the rivalry flipped in Vandegrift’s favor. The Vipers defeated the Timberwolves for several straight years, reached the 6A state championship game in 2022 and won its first title in 2024.
With Cedar Park joining Vandegrift in the 6A ranks and in the newly reconfigured District 24-6A this year, the Timberwolves and the Vipers will renew their marquee matchup for a 17th time Friday night (10/16) from Monroe Memoria Stadium in our VYPE Austin Central Texas Game of the Week.
Undefeated Cedar Park (3-0, 7-0) might be the “surprise” team of the Austin area. (Actually, there must be something about the word “Cedar,” as Cedar Ridge is also undefeated; but I digress.) After reaching the state semifinals in 2020 under former Head Coach Carl Abseck, the rebuilding T’wolves under 6th year Head Coach Michael Quintero remained a playoff caliber program, albeit one that had exited the postseason relatively early the past few seasons. Once again, however, Cedar Park looks poised to make a deep playoff run.
Senior quarterback David Cooper (108-156, 1,635 Yds., 18 TD, 3 INT) is reaping the benefits of two previous seasons as the starting signal caller. He’s divided most of his targets between seniors Jonah Johnson (24-484, 20.2 YPC, 9 TD) and Wesley Hebert (21-389, 18.5 YPC, 4 TD). Yet another senior, Lucas Viloria (127-644, 5.1 YPC, 10 TDs), paces the rushing attack, with significant support from senior Kysen Pham (68-417, 6.1 YPC, 5 TD) and Cooper (59-438, 7.4 YPC, 7 TD).
While Cedar Park’s defense hasn’t yet matched the performance of last decade’s vaunted Black Rain, they have notched two shutouts this season while the starters have limited their opponents’ scoring, as was the case in last week’s scintillating win over a high-octane Hutto club. Senior Deshaun Stewart (75T, 5.0 TFL, 3 Sacks) anchors the defense with support from sack leader Jimi Aluko.
Vandegrift (2-0, 4-2), meanwhile, appears to be mimicking their trajectory from a year ago. Whereas Viper teams from earlier this decade simply overwhelmed their opponents, last year’s state semifinalists overcame two tough losses as they rounded into championship contenders.
This year’s squad fell to San Antonio Johnson and dropped a heartbreaker to Round Rock in non-district play but have since dominated East View and Vista Ridge. Senior quarterback Gavin Koester (61-105, 676 Yds., 4 TD, 5 INT), who played both quarterback and wide receiver his sophomore year and missed nearly all last season with an injury, is developing quickly behind center. It helps that the Viper offense has two explosive junior running backs in Even Williamson (88-589, 6.7 YPC, 12 TD) and Preston James (69-534, 7.7 YPC, 7 TD).
Like Cedar Park, the Vandegrift defense isn’t yet the lights-out unit of years past – but it’s getting there despite a rash of injuries. Senior Griffin Gorrebeeck is the heart of the defense, supported by juniors such as Colt Stevens, Luke Davis and Gavin Law who played extensively last year.
While Cedar Park dominated the series early and still holds the overall series edge at 9-7, Vandegrift has won four of the last five meetings. The one exception was when the T’wolves edged the Vipers 49-46 two years ago in what would be the only blemish on Vandegrift’s 15-1 championship campaign.
This one is a serious sibling rivalry.

The level of production Memorial has showcased throughout this fall has been nothing short of spectacular. At 34-3 overall and a perfect 13-0 in District 20-6A, the Lady Mustangs are just three wins away from securing back-to-back undefeated district titles. By now, their success is impossible to overlook.
Few teams are hotter than Memorial right now, so we went one-on-one with Coach Kaddie Platt for an inside look at the Lady Mustangs’ remarkable run!
The score of last week’s game between the McNeil Mavericks and the Stony Point Tigers was 31-21.
At the end of the first quarter.
By the end of the night, the Tigers had outlasted the Mavericks 57-39 in a game that kept them in the playoff chase in the VYPE Austin CenTex Game of the Week.
The teams combined for another 23 second quarter points as Stony Point took a comfortable 48-27 lead into the locker room at halftime.
For all the first half wildness, the tempo slowed down considerably in the second half. The teams battled to a near-draw after the break as the defenses regained some modicum of control, which was more than enough to allow Stony Point to emerge with the win.
While Stony Point (2-1, 3-4) remains in the playoff race, they face three of the toughest teams in the district to close out the season, starting with Friday night’s (10/16) matchup with Lake Travis.
McNeil (0-3, 0-7) remains winless on the season as they travel to powerful Westlake Friday night. VYPE Live will broadcast that game.
Coach McClellen reflects on the energy surrounding Clear Springs (31-9) as the Chargers close in on their fifth straight district title and gear up for the postseason.
At 29-11 overall and a perfect 14-0 against district opponents, Dawson has quickly established itself as the same premier contender it was a season ago. Even more impressive, the Eagles have maintained that standard with a younger roster under first-year head coach Taylor Frederick.
With the playoffs approaching, we sat down with Coach Frederick to explore the moments, personalities, and defining qualities behind Dawson’s 2026 campaign.
Smithson Valley remains the benchmark in the San Antonio area, with the two-time defending 5A Division I state champion off to a 6-0 start. The Rangers face their toughest test of the fall next week against unbeaten Champion (6-0), setting up a heavyweight clash with potential playoff implications.
The 6A race is also taking shape, with Johnson (5-0), Brennan (5-1), Steele (4-1-1), and Harlan (5-1) continuing to set the pace. In 5A Division II, Boerne (6-0) and Alamo Heights (6-1) are building momentum, while Tivy (6-0) remains one of the region’s most explosive offenses. The Antlers’ 79-56 shootout win over Taylor offered another glimpse of their scoring potential as district play intensifies.
The wins are stacking up, the margin for error is shrinking, and the decisive matchups are getting closer.

Argyle QB Hayes Hackney steps up in the pocket against Oak Ridge (CA) in the Eagles’ season opener (8/28).
Jeff Rayome (VYPE Sideline)
Week 7 delivered the fireworks, and the ripple effects are just beginning.
Few performances were louder than Lewisville’s 42-7 rout of defending district champion Guyer. Despite the District Executive Committee’s controversial ruling on quarterback Laykon Brassfield’s ineligibility — a decision still subject to appeal — the Farmers have swiftly shown they remain a formidable contender, moving to 3-0 in District 5-6A.
North Crowley strengthened its position with a 42-17 win over Waxahachie at Lumpkins Stadium. While the Indians remain a threat in the district race, NoCro’s latest victory keeps the Panthers unbeaten at 6-0 and puts them on the brink of another district crown.
In 5A, Argyle handed Lovejoy its first loss of the season, securing a decisive 45-28 victory. Beyond breaking into the Top 10, the Eagles have cleared what may have been their toughest hurdle on the path to the District 3-5A Division II crown.
Perhaps the week’s most thrilling matchup came in the 50-49 shootout between Jesuit and Walnut Grove. With the narrow victory, Jesuit earned its first appearance in the DFW rankings as both teams head into another pivotal district clash.

Some of the featured standouts of the 2026-27 Pieper Warriors volleyball team.

The finish line is in sight, but the biggest shifts may still be ahead.
After a brief dip in the rankings, Harlan (25-10) has surged back to the top of the SATX power structure. Riding an eight-game winning streak, the Hawks reasserted their position with a five-set victory over rival Brennan (31-7). The Bears will get their shot to respond next Friday (10/23), when the regular-season finale could decide the District 29-6A title.
At 31-6 overall and unbeaten throughout the district schedule, Smithson Valley is making a strong case as the team to beat in Class 5A. Boerne (27-4) and Champion (27-7) aren’t far behind, locked in a footrace for the District 26-5A title. The Greyhounds hold the edge after their 3-1 victory in September, but the race remains very much alive.
Meanwhile, Pieper (24-14) is chasing its first district championship since moving up to 6A in this summer’s UIL realignment. The home stretch offers little room for error, highlighted by a rematch with NB Canyon, the only team to hand the Warriors a district loss in five sets. Still, Pieper stands on the brink of history, so the final push will come down to execution.

Allen’s Maya Ogbogu celebrates a big moment during the Allen Texas Open (8/21).
Kevin Bartram (VYPE Sideline)
The standings are taking shape, and the real separation starts now.
At the center of it all is Allen, whose 33-2 record has been matched by few across the region. Both losses came against Top 5 opponents in Duncanville and McKinney Boyd, but the Eagles have already answered Boyd once, winning their September district clash. Their rematch on Oct. 20 will carry enormous weight, with the District 6-6A crown on the line.
District 5-6A has developed its own compelling rivalry. Hebron and Flower Mound have traded victories, with the Hawks winning their August tournament meeting before the Jaguars responded in five sets in September. Flower Mound then fell to Marcus in another five-set battle, adding another twist ahead of next week’s decisive rematch on Hebron’s home court.
Argyle has taken control of District 5-5A after earning two pivotal wins over Eagle Mountain, putting the Eagles firmly in the driver’s seat. Meanwhile, District 7-6A remains a three-team race, with Plano East, Plano and Plano West all fighting to establish separation.
Southlake Carroll has also made its move, surging into the Top 10 behind a 9-1 district mark. The Lady Dragons have built early breathing room in 4-6A, though Keller, Byron Nelson and Eaton remain part of a competitive field as the race continues to unfold.

The VYPE No. 9-ranked Klein Bearkats have been one of the biggest stories of the high school football season, racing out to a 7-0 record for the first time since 2003.
Under head coach David Perez, the Bearkats have energized the Klein community with a remarkable start, building momentum and confidence as they prepare for a massive showdown against Tomball this week.
Offensively, Klein has found its playmakers. Wide receiver Mike Brown has been a key target in the passing game, while running back Kendrick Brown brings another weapon to the Bearkats' attack. Quarterback Carter Lattelle has helped lead the offense as Klein continues to stack wins.
But the story doesn't stop on offense.
The Bearkats' defense has been downright punishing, surrendering just seven points per game and setting the tone for a team that can win in multiple ways.
Now, with Tomball looming, Klein has an opportunity to add another chapter to an already memorable season. The Bearkats have captured the attention of the Houston-area football community, but the mission remains the same: keep winning and prove this historic start is only the beginning.
Duncanville quarterback Maximus The Great Denson will look to get the Panthers over the .500 mark this week facing Crowley.

Dallas Highland Park at Carrollton Creekview at Standridge Stadium
Highland Park goes on the road again in district play, riding a 3-game winning streak. The Scots sit alone in District 6-5A Division I and will face a 1-5 Creekview team. Interestingly enough, both teams are coming off wins against Carrollton R.L. Turner. The Mustangs beat Turner, 21-7, two weeks ago and were idle last week. Highland Park posted a 62-7 win last week against Turner. Got to give the edge to the Scots in this one.
Allen at Prosper Rock Hill at Children’s Health Stadium
Allen will roll into this game as the new No. 1 team in Class 6A in the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football/Associated Press, and MaxPreps has the Eagles ranked the No. 1 team in the entire country. The Eagles (6-0, 3-0 District 6-6A) are led by sophomore quarterback Ty Snell, who has thrown for 1,155 yards with 18 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Rock Hill is 3-3 and 1-2 in district, losing the past two against Prosper Walnut Grove and Prosper.
Denton Ryan at Keller Fossil Ridge at Keller ISD Athletic Complex
After two weeks of District 3-5A Division I play, the Raiders from Billy Ryan High School are in first place with a 2-0 mark. Five teams are 1-1, while Saginaw is winless. The Raiders, 5-1, will travel to face a 1-5 Fossil Ridge squad. Ryan has won four in a row, with the first of that streak a loss that was flipped to a win following the Lewisville eligibility issue. New coach Shane Tolleson, who came over from Waxahachie, will look for the Raiders to extend their 7-game winning streak against the Panthers.
Friday, Oct. 16
Carrollton Hebron at Lewisville at Max Goldsmith Stadium
The winner of this game will have a share of first place in the District 5-6A race. The two teams, along with Denton Braswell, are tied for first place with 3-0 district marks. Even with changes in personnel on the offensive side of the ball at quarterback, Lewisville (3-3, 3-0) is still producing. Six different players have at least one touchdown catch and seven different players have scored a rushing touchdown — though no rushing touchdowns were scored in last week’s 42-7 win over Guyer. Hebron (4-2, 3-0) has a defense that has 6 interceptions and 10 forced fumbles this season.
Red Oak at Waxahachie at Stuart B. Lumpkins Stadium
The District 11-6A standings heading into this week show North Crowley at 3-0 and then four teams at 2-1 — including the two in this matchup. Waxahachie fell from No. 1 to No. 10 in the state poll this week following a 42-17 loss to North Crowley last week. The Indians struggled to pass the ball last week and the run game was also bottled up by North Crowley. Red Oak went 5-5 last year, but is 4-2, and its last two wins were by a combined 4 points. QB Tuhran Square II should surpass the 1,000-yard passing mark this week, entering with 971 yards and 11 TDs. The senior is also the team’s leading rusher with 455 yards and 2 TDs.
Fort Worth All Saints Episcopal at Grapevine Faith at Grapevine Ford Field
The Saints take a 6-2 record into their penultimate game of the regular season at Grapevine Faith. The winner of the past two TAPPS Division II State Championships might be even better this year; if not, they are deeper. Running back Brayden Boults, a transfer from Sumter, South Carolina, has run for 1,074 yards and 13 TDs. The sophomore has offers from Georgia, Texas Tech, Florida and SMU, to name a few. Both teams are coming off wins against Fort Worth Southwest Christian. All Saints won 56-13 while Grapevine Faith won 56-35 on Oct. 2. The Lions are coming off a bye week and will look to snap a 4-game losing streak to All Saints.
Mansfield Summit at DeSoto at Eagle Stadium
There is a new all-time rushing leader at DeSoto RB SaRod Baker eclipsed the career rushing mark set by current Texas A&M running back Deondrae “Tiger” Riden Jr. in last week’s win vs. Lancaster. The Texas Tech pledge ran for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns last week — his fourth straight game over 100 yards and with at least one touchdown. He has 4,546 yards in his career, clearing Riden’s 4,412 yards. DeSoto is 4-2 with four straight wins. Mansfield Summit is 3-3 and winners of two in a row. Sophomore WR Gabe Evans has caught 33 passes for 395 yards and 6 TDs.
Aledo at Arlington at Maverick Stadium at UT-Arlington
A logjam for second place in District 3-6A will be somewhat settled after this game, as both are 2-1 in district games. Arlington is 4-2 and Aledo is 3-3 — very unlike the Aledo of old. The Bearcats are balanced, with a rushing game that has gained 986 yards and the offense has passed for 933 yards. Colby Thompson and Kane Lanier both have 4 receiving touchdowns. The Arlington Colts have been more of a running team this year, with five different players with more than 100 yards on the ground. QB Canon Cambron has 327 yards rushing and 9 TDs, team highs in both categories.
Crowley at Duncanville at Panther Stadium
Crowley is coming off a 29-28 loss last week against Red Oak. The Eagles are 2-4 overall and 1-2 in District 11-6A. Dating back to 2004, this is the first showdown between the two teams. Duncanville won last week, 45-7 over Mansfield, to even the record at 3-3. Quarterback Maximus The Great Denson has thrown for 804 yards and 8 touchdowns, while rushing for 308 yards. RB Brayden Arnold has accounted for 9 of the team’s 17 rushing touchdowns.
Keller at Southlake Carroll at Dragon Stadium
The Indians have surpassed the win total of last year and at 6-0, it is the best start since 1967. Quite the turnaround done by Coach Carl Stralow, but a big challenge looms this week: the Dragons. Keller has an overall record better than Carroll’s 4-2 mark, but the Dragons have won four in a row since losing back-to-back games to North Crowley and Allen. Both teams are 3-0 in District 4-6A, so the battle for first place could also secure a No. 1 seed for the winner. Carroll holds a 16-0 record in the series dating back to 2004.

The quest for the District 5-6A title is far from over, but some of the contenders for one of the four playoff berths are coming into focus after Week 7.
After another week of Texas high school football action, three teams are still unbeaten in district play: Denton Braswell, Carrollton Hebron and Lewisville. At least one of those teams will lose this week as Hebron and Lewisville battle for a share of first.
It will be another big game for the Fighting Farmers, who are now 3-3 overall after a 41-7 win over Denton Guyer last week.
Guyer, at the time, was ranked No. 10 in Class 6A.
The win helps the Farmers crack the national Top 25 on MaxPreps.
Lewisville and Guyer were tied at 7-7 after the opening 12 minutes.
The Fighting Farmers dominated from there and the story of the game was how opportunistic they were on offense, defense and special teams.
It started in the first quarter.
Missouri State pledge Derrick Martin IIII had an interception to give Lewisville the ball.
A mere 9 seconds later, the Farmers were in the end zone. Quarterback Aiden Evans connected with Xavier Miles for a 41-yard touchdown.
The Wildcats (4-2, 1-1) had the ball four times in the second quarter and the outcomes were: punt, punt, interception, missed field goal. Meanwhile, Lewisville extended the lead to 28-7.
A wide receiver-to-wide receiver touchdown pass from Duece Mathis to Martin was the first touchdown of the second quarter.
Mathis, a Northern Arizona pledge, had a 73-yard punt return to extend the lead.
Then, Devin Robinson had a 37-yard pick-6 for the Farmers’ defense. The senior is a Sam Houston State pledge.
Guyer, who had previously only lost to then No. 1-ranked Waxahachie, got the ball to open the third.
The drive lasted 4 minutes, but Vahn Malvo picked off Carter Morgan to give the Farmers the ball back.
Then, Lewisville scored again.
But not before 17 players were run and all but the final 38 seconds of the quarter ticked away. Evans, another Sam Houston State pledge, connected with Landon Brazzell for a 15-yard touchdown. That came one play after a 15-yard penalty against Guyer.
Lewisville was facing a 3rd-and-17 from the 30-yard line.
The what-could-go-wrong-did-go-wrong for Guyer continued in the fourth.
The Wildcats punted and Mathis took back 68 yards for his second punt return score of the game.
Guyer got some traction going and put together a 75-yard drive. Morgan ran for 18 yards and was near the goal line. The ball got knocked out at the 1-yard line and turned into a touchback and the Farmers got the ball at the 20-yard line.
Guyer actually had more yards and first downs in the game, 20 to 15 on the latter and then 380 to 272 on yards.
The difference was 5 turnovers by the Wildcats — 3 interceptions and 2 fumbles.

The district races are tightening, winning streaks are stacking up, and momentum is fluctuating across the board.
In 6A, Cypress Ranch has surged to the top of H-Town, extending its winning streak to 19 games and moving within reach of the District 23-6A crown after a 3-1 victory over Fulshear last Thursday.
Memorial remains firmly in pursuit of another dominant finish, having suffered just one loss since August — against Cypress Ranch — while closing in on back-to-back district championships.
Clear Springs, meanwhile, continues to look like one of the state’s most cohesive and formidable teams. Despite a recent five-set loss to Deer Park, the Chargers are well-positioned to claim their fifth consecutive district title.
Dawson has also made its move, breaking into the Top 10 as its winning streak reaches 16 games. The Eagles are now three victories away from another undefeated district campaign.
Elsewhere, Summer Creek makes its debut in the rankings after edging Atascocita in five sets at the end of September. The two will have another chance to settle the score in a must-see regular-season finale on October 23 that could decide the 17-6A race.
The 5A picture is just as compelling. Lake Creek continues to look like the class of the classification after splitting series with A&M Consolidated and College Station. The Lions’ toughest remaining test appears to be Montgomery, which they defeated in September, while undefeated Friendswood and Kempner are strengthening their cases as legitimate postseason threats.

Westlake remains on top of this week’s Power Rankings after cruising to an easy win. That was the simple part, as all heck broke loose behind the Chaps. As the dust from several high-profile showdowns settled, it revealed a plethora of comers and goers.
Undefeated Cedar Ridge is the biggest gainer by far, rocketing to #2 after a Goal Line stand helped the Raiders hold off Lake Travis at Cavalier Stadium. (Anyone else looking forward to their upcoming showdown with Westlake?) Round Rock climbs a spot to #3 despite their Bye, based primarily on earlier wins over the two teams immediately behind the Dragons #4 Dripping Spring and #5 Vandegrift.
Cedar Park was the other team that scored a massive win, coming back late to overtake Hutto and moving up to #6 ahead of this week’s grudge match with the Vipers. Lake Travis settles at #7 while Bowie moves up three spots to #8 with an impressive win over Hays. Hutto leads a parade of teams that dropped games last week, landing at #9 while Weiss rounds out the Top 10.
Anderson drops a couple spots but still tops the second tier after running into a buzzsaw in Smithson Valley. Rouse rebounded from their loss to Cedar Park to move to #12, followed by Liberty Hill and Hays. Wimberley remains the highest-ranked 4A squad at #15.
Georgetown climbs a spot to #16, as did Lago Vista to #17 and Hendrickson to #18. Legacy Ranch continues to impress and reenters the Rankings at #19 while Taylor rounds out the slate after dropping their game in a basketball score at Tivy.
Regents held off a strong challenge from Legacy Sports and Sciences to remain atop the private school rankings. And while St. Michaels suffered its second defeat of the season, there’s enough separation between them and the rest of the local private schools to keep the Warriors at #2.
Not surprisingly, several big matchups – Cedar Park vs. Vandegrift, we’re looking at you – are on tap again this week. We’ll see if the deck shuffles again.

There are only a few more weeks of the regular season for Texas high school football around the metroplex.
Let’s dive into five storylines that followed after games played in Week 7.
Still unbeaten
There were a few games bigger last weekend than North Crowley and Waxahachie. The Fort Worth school went to Waxahachie and picked up a dominating 42-17 win.
That means there will be a new No. 1 team in Class 6A in the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football/Associated Press poll. Heading into that game, three of the top four teams in the state were from the DFW area. Defending Class 6A Division I champion Galena Park North Shore was the only non-Dallas area team in that grouping.
Waxahachie will fall, but they have wins over two teams in the top-10 last week: No. 9 Coppell and No. 10 Denton Guyer.
Keller needed every point and almost every minute to rally for a win over Trophy Club Byron Nelson, 49-42. That win extends the Indians’ win streak to 6-0, the best record for the program since 1967.
Byron Nelson had a 42-28 lead before Blake Dyniewski’s TD run made it 47-42 and erased the 1-point deficit with less than 2 minutes left.
Speaking of unbeatens
Heading into Week 8, several teams secured wins last week, extending their winning streaks this season.
Of the UIL bunch, Anna and Celina are in the same district, so by virtue of that, there will be a team with a loss in that game — unlike the NFC East where ties happen. That matchup is on Oct. 30, assuming both keep winning.
There is also O.D. Wyatt and Fort Worth Arlington Heights are in the same district and also will play on Oct. 30. At the private school level, unbeaten Episcopal School of Dallas and Arlington Oakridge play this week, so at least one team from this list will have an L after Week 8.
Gone from the list is Prosper Walnut Grove, which lost 50-49 in overtime to Dallas Jesuit.
Here’s a glance at those without a loss so far:
UIL
Arlington Martin
Keller
Allen
Sachse
North Crowley
Fort Worth Arlington Heights
Fort Worth O.D. Wyatt
Frisco Lone Star
Anna
Celina
Mansfield Timberview
Mineral Wells
Dallas Life Oak Cliff
Collinsville
Private
Dallas First Baptist
Arlington Oakridge
Episcopal School of Dallas
Fort Worth Covenant Classical
Irving Faustina Academy
* Asterisk* unbeaten
Lewisville improved to 3-3 on the year after a dominating 42-7 win against No. 10-ranked Denton Guyer.
The Fighting Farmers got two punt return scores from Deuce Mathis, who also threw a touchdown pass. The team is still unbeaten on the field and 0-3 in a boardroom decision.
The Dallas Morning News wrote that quarterback Laykon Brassfield’s family is looking for a court hearing to overrule the DEC decision to rule him ineligible. To flash back a bit, the Fighting Farmers were 3-0 when his residency issues led to Lewisville having to forfeit a 3-0 start.
Coach Michael Odle has guided his team through this rocky time with poise as they have won 40-7, 38-8 and 42-7 and are part of a 3-way tie for first place in District 5-6A. Denton Braswell and Hebron are tied with them at 2-0 in district play.
Hebron will play in Lewisville this week at Max Goldsmith Stadium in a key game.
Backup shines bright
North Richland Hills Richland and Birdville played on Friday, both coming off the 1st loss of the season.
In a battle to stay in second place in the district, the Royals rolled to a dominating win, 56-35. Quarterback Brett Kates accounted for 7 total touchdowns — 4 passing and 3 rushing.
However, one of the biggest storylines was the absence of Jayshon Gibson.
The UCLA pledge was hurt late against Dallas Highland Park and didn’t return in the team’s final drive of the game, an eventual loss.
The Royals turned to sophomore Isaiah White. He ran the ball 24 times for 272 yards and 2 touchdowns.
He’s a name to watch and he’s one some colleges already know.
He holds offers from Kansas State, Minnesota, Texas Tech, SMU, UTSA and UTEP, according to 247sports.com
Trey for 8
Frisco Lone Star standout quarterback Trey Wright threw for 7 touchdowns, breaking a school record in Week 6.
In Week 7, he did the same thing.
In a 69-7 win over Frisco Heritage, the USC pledge threw for 357 yards and 7 touchdowns. Five different receivers had touchdowns. Wright also had a TD run, giving him a hand in 8 of the touchdowns for the Rangers, now 6-0 overall and 3-0 in District 5-5A Division 1.
This week the Rangers face a 1-5 Frisco Centennial team that is coming off a 70-0 loss to Melissa.
Could Wright break the record again?
Bonus Nugget
Van Alstyne picked up an 83-26 win over Lake Worth. That is a new school record for points in a game, breaking the previous record. That previous mark was an 81-0 win over Cooper in 1931. To give context, UIL crowned only one football champion in the whole state back then.
Bridgeland has wins over Cypress Ranch, The Woodlands and Tompkins
By Doug Brown
VYPE’s No. 1 team in Class 6A, North Shore, survived a major scare on Friday night against Summer Creek, rallying from a 14-point second-half deficit to escape with a win. It ultimately came down to a blocked field goal to preserve the Mustangs’ undefeated record.
Through seven weeks of football, the picture is becoming clearer — and it’s time for VYPE to reshuffle the rankings.
With more data on the table, the questions get tougher. Who can beat whom? Which teams have faced the most challenging schedules? And which programs still have something to prove?
Let’s break it down.
CLASS 6A: THE CONTENDERS ARE EMERGING
Pearland has made a strong case for itself, dominating its schedule while securing a signature victory over Manvel, which was ranked in the Top 12 at the time. The Oilers are building momentum as the competition heats up.
Bridgeland has also earned its place in the conversation. The Bears edged The Woodlands with a late field goal and took down Cypress Ranch, which was ranked No. 2 at the time. Cypress Ranch now checks in at No. 6, with CE King sitting at No. 7. Don't forget, Ranch and King gave us an instant classic earlier this season, adding another layer to an increasingly competitive race.
Meanwhile, Klein continues to fly under the radar as one of the area's most consistent teams. The undefeated Bearkats have stacked wins over Klein Oak, Magnolia and Klein Cain, giving them a strong résumé as district play intensifies.
The Woodlands is another team trending upward. The Highlanders took care of ranked Willis and dominated College Park, which was ranked at the time. Those performances give The Woodlands a strong argument as VYPE continues to evaluate the contenders.
Tomball beat Klein Collins, which will have huge district repercussions. Tompkins moves into the rankings after a huge win over Jordan.
Two teams that remain difficult to evaluate are Deer Park and Memorial. Deer Park's signature win came against a solid La Porte squad, while Memorial has yet to face a true test. Both have put themselves in the conversation, but tougher competition should tell us more about where they belong.
CLASS 5A: LA PORTE MAKES A STATEMENT
La Porte is beginning to gain serious traction after an explosive second-half performance to take down Port Arthur Memorial. The Bulldogs are making noise at the right time and could be a team to watch as the season progresses.
Fort Bend Marshall and Lake Creek also return to the rankings following solid victories. With district races tightening, both programs have an opportunity to build momentum and strengthen their postseason cases.
PRIVATE SCHOOLS: NO CHANGES AT THE TOP
The private school rankings remain unchanged this week. With the top programs continuing to hold their ground, the next round of matchups could be pivotal in determining whether anyone can break through.

North Crowley's Kiante Ingram runs for the ball against Waxahachie on Oct. 9 at Stuart B. Lumpkins Stadium.
Cody Thorn
The biggest game in the state of Texas in Week 7 of UIL football happened at Stuart B. Lumpkins Stadium Friday night.
The matchup pitted two Class 6A-ranked teams — No. 1 Waxahachie vs. No. 3 North Crowley.
Both were 5-0 and tied for first place in District 11-6A.
As much as it lined up to be a battle to the end, it was not.
North Crowley rolled to a 42-17 win thanks to a solid running game, a quarterback that could not miss and a defense that kept South Carolina pledge Jerry Meyer III in check.
The Panthers (6-0, 3-0) had a pair of 21-0 scoring bursts that defined the game.
In the first half, G’yrell Smith ran for two touchdowns and Kiante Ingram had another rushing touchdown.
The Panthers led 21-7 at halftime.
“We had a great week of practice knowing what they were going to line up in,” North Crowley quarterback Jacob Torres said. “We just had to execute and we fought hard. We ran, we passed, and we just set them up for the next play.”
The Indians (5-1, 2-1) had a chance to trim into the lead late in the third quarter. Waxahachie got a stop and forced North Crowley to punt after three straight touchdowns on the three previous possessions.
Waxahachie engineered an 18-play, 89-yard drive that ended in a 23-yard field goal from Kohen Manis with 2:37 left. The Indians moved to the 6-yard line on a pass from Meyer to Jordan Smith, but an incomplete pass on third down set up the field goal.
Six plays later, the Panthers answered.
A pass interference call on an incomplete pass on 3rd-and-1 kept the drive alive. Ingram’s 35-yard score with 42 seconds left in the third quarter extended the lead to 28-10.
North Crowley scored on the next two drives to seal the win.
Torres, who was 11-for-11 passing for 100 yards, threw an 84-yard touchdown to Damarion Mays on the next drive for North Crowley.
Smith’s 60-yard run in the fourth made it 42-10.
Smith ran for 116 yards, while Ingram had 157.
Meyer III threw a touchdown pass to Matthew Scott with 1:54 left for the final points of the contest. Meyer threw for a season-low 112 yards.
The Panthers’ secondary, loaded with Division I talent, made it tough. He was 12 for 28 and his 42.9% completion percentage was his third-lowest in the last two years. In last year's loss to DeSoto, he completed only 38.5% of his passes. As a sophomore, he has a 42.4% completion rate in a close win over Dallas Skyline.
“I feel we were disrespected. We already knew who the No. 1 team in the state was,” said North Crowley cornerback Jerry Outhouse. “We had to come prove it.”
This season, the Panthers have beaten these former state champions or finalists in recent weeks: Aledo, Southlake Carroll, Humble Summer Creek and Duncanville.
How good does that make North Crowley?
“Best team in the nation, I'm telling you,” said Outhouse, a UCLA pledge.
