DeSoto's SaRod Baker (Texas Tech commit)
FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 4 | DeSoto Back in the Mix as Prosper Soars
Three weeks into the season, the picture is taking shape — and district play is about to turn up the heat. Some of the region’s biggest names are trending upward, while a few familiar contenders find themselves searching for answers after difficult weeks.
DeSoto (1-2) re-enters the frame after a statement victory over Duncanville on Saturday afternoon, as the Eagles held on for a 21-20 win to close out their non-district schedule on a high note. Similarly, Prosper (3-0) soars back into the upper echelon of Texas football following an offensive shootout with Westlake, as the Eagles outpaced the Chaparrals, 49-40.
Waxahachie cemented itself in the Top 3 with a convincing 44-30 victory over Denton Guyer, while Lewisville cracked the Top 10 with a commanding 49-17 win over Denton Ryan. Over in 5A, the competition is heating up quickly, with Lone Star (3-0), Celina (2-0), Argyle (2-1), Anna (3-0), and Timberview (3-0) all gaining momentum early in the season.
Also making their rankings debut this week are Walnut Grove (3-0) and Rockwall (2-1), adding two new names to an already competitive Top 20. Meanwhile, Duncanville, Guyer, South Oak Cliff, and Southlake Carroll each slide in the rankings and will look to bounce back from tough losses.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 2 | Allen, North Crowley reshape the Top 20
Week 1 is the ultimate gut-check of the sports world. The questions that lingered through the offseason finally meet a scoreboard, and for several of the area’s top teams, the answers came quickly.
Allen made perhaps the loudest statement, handling Duncanville, 26-7, in a rematch of last year’s State Final Four matchup. The Eagles didn’t just open the season with a win; they answered one of the more painful exits from a year ago. They’ll get another major test Friday when DeSoto comes to town.
North Crowley offered its own statement, shutting out Aledo, 26-0, in the Bearcats’ first game since moving up to 6A. Southlake Carroll, meanwhile, survived an Oklahoma heavyweight in Jenks, 34-33, setting up one of Week 2’s most intriguing matchups when the Dragons travel to North Crowley.
Elsewhere, Waxahachie wasted little time making noise, blasting Ennis, 72-14, in the latest edition of the Battle for 287. Guyer, Coppell and Prosper also opened with convincing wins, while Lone Star, Celina, Melissa, Ryan and Anna showed why the 5A picture could be every bit as competitive.
Not every contender got the start it wanted. South Oak Cliff and DeSoto both suffered difficult losses, along with Duncanville, while Argyle and Highland Park also fell in close or high-scoring affairs. But one week rarely defines a season. If Week 1 was about finding answers, Week 2 is where some of those answers get tested.
