District play is reaching its most volatile stretch, and the margins couldn’t be thinner among several of the area’s heavyweights. Each week seems to deliver another test of resilience — and Week 9 was no exception.
Cibolo Steele held off a determined San Marcos squad in a 27-21 battle that underscored the Knights’ poise under pressure. The win keeps Steele atop the rankings heading into a crucial matchup with Comal Canyon.
Elsewhere, Harlan continued to look the part of a powerhouse, staying unbeaten at 8-0 after rolling past Taft, while Brennan rebounded from its earlier district loss with a dominant shutout over Stevens. Both programs remain firmly in the thick of the 28-6A title chase.
In Class 5A, Smithson Valley may have all but secured a district crown after grinding out a 27-14 victory over New Braunfels, led by another balanced effort on both sides of the ball.
Boerne and Alamo Heights stayed in stride with convincing wins, though the Greyhounds’ upcoming clash with McCollum will determine whether they can maintain their hold near the top.
Meanwhile, SA Johnson (8-0) continued its dominance, handling LEE with ease to remain perfect, while Davenport extended its remarkable season to 9-0 — making a strong case as one of the most complete teams in all of Class 4A.

If there’s one theme running through this stretch of high school football, it’s the margin for error — or lack thereof. Each Friday seems to tighten the gap between contenders and challengers, and Week 9 delivered another round of razor-thin finishes that reshaped the pecking order across multiple districts.
Allen (8–0) survived one of those battles, edging Prosper 31–30 in a back-and-forth shootout that reaffirmed both programs’ staying power. Southlake Carroll (9–0) remains firmly atop the rankings after blanking Bell 49–0, while Duncanville and North Crowley handled business to keep pace among 6A’s elite.
The most compelling clash ahead may come in District 5-6A, where Denton Guyer (6–2) and Lewisville (7–1) square off with the district title likely hanging in the balance. The stakes don’t get much higher.
In 5A, the usual suspects continue to dominate their respective brackets. South Oak Cliff and Aledo rolled to commanding wins, maintaining their grip as frontrunners, while Frisco Lone Star, Denton Ryan, and Argyle remain close behind — each showcasing steady, disciplined play down the stretch.
Meanwhile, Highland Park, Melissa, and North Forney stay in the mix, with the Falcons’ upcoming test against Longview carrying serious playoff weight.
With only a handful of games left, separation is scarce and every possession feels heavier. For teams sitting on the brink — whether unbeaten or unproven — the difference between dominance and disappointment may come down to a single Friday night drive.
