If you survive the likes of Class 6A DI Region II, you should be the favorite to win state.

The likes of Duncanville, Westfield, Spring, DeSoto, Rockwall and The Woodlands are Texas High School Football brands, who strike fear in their opponents.

So, who gets through the gauntlet?

The Fab 5

No. 1 Seed -- Duncanville

D'Ville lost to Mater Dei of California, considered the top team in the country year after year, in Week 1. Since then, the Panthers have outscored their opponents 468-75. That is ugly. That's knocking off the likes of powers DeSoto, South Oak Cliff, Mansfield and Cedar Hill. Duncanville can score at will and is nasty on defense with Omari Abor coming off the edge. The Panthers will beat Belton and Sachse, before meeting Spring, likely.

No. 2 Seed -- Rockwall

The Yellowjackets are really well-coached and have a serious offense with QB Braedyn Locke (Miss. State-commit), who can sling it. He has over 3,000 yards through the air, while Zach Hernandez gets it done on the ground (1,300 yards). Noble Johnson is one of the top juniors in Texas at WR. They are going to need to get some stops but Rockwall can outscore teams. The Jackets will take down North Garland, before playing a tough DeSoto squad. Then Westfield? That's a tough road.
