THE HIERARCHY: Updated VYPE DFW VB Rankings; Allen, Carroll, Lovejoy among elevating clubs
Close behind, Allen (23-1) and Southlake Carroll (15-3) round out a 6A-heavy top tier. Allen’s deep roster and early wins over several ranked opponents have solidified its place as a state contender, while Carroll's only setbacks have come in tight matches against other ranked teams.
Keller (18-3), Plano West (14-3), and Mansfield (29-1) have also staked their claim in a crowded 6A field, with Mansfield in particular emerging as a quiet powerhouse with the most wins of any team in the rankings.
On the 5A side, perennial power Lovejoy (17-6) remains a threat despite a few early-season hiccups, with their strength of schedule arguably more demanding than most. Aledo (22-2) and McKinney North (18-3) have surged forward with impressive starts, while Frisco Liberty (16-3) continues to trend upward as a possible dark horse in postseason play.
Beyond the Top-10, several teams are positioning themselves for a breakthrough. In 6A, Duncanville, Hebron, and Flower Mound are names to watch, while 5A contenders like Argyle, Highland Park, and Wakeland could shake up the rankings in the coming weeks.
With district play just around the corner, expect even more shifts as the region’s deepest programs begin to collide. For now, though, Byron Nelson and Allen have established themselves as the teams to beat in DFW.
