THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 6 Football Rankings; DeSoto back in the Top-10 with decisive victory
Prosper, another unbeaten giant in 6A, handled a talented Plano East team and now turns its focus to Rock Hill as it continues a quietly consistent campaign.
Elsewhere, DeSoto made the biggest statement of Week 5, halting Waxahachie’s perfect run in dominant fashion. The Eagles, now 3-2, have overcome early-season challenges and seem to be hitting stride as they approach their bye — just in time for a massive district clash with Duncanville looming after the break.
In 5A, the anticipated Aledo–Denton Ryan matchup is finally here. Both programs remain undefeated after lopsided victories and now face off in what could serve as a preview of deeper playoff rounds.
Lone Star and Highland Park also remain firmly in the mix, the latter surviving a 70–66 thriller against Tyler to stay atop its district.
Meanwhile, Celina continues to carry the 4A flag with a 5-0 record, having edged Panther Creek last week. The Bobcats travel to Aubrey this Friday looking to remain perfect.
With rankings beginning to crystallize, Week 6 offers both clarity and chaos — with heavyweight clashes and district implications unfolding across every level.

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 4 Football Rankings; Lone Star, Waxahachie move up the order
Southlake Carroll, meanwhile, looks every bit the part of a top-tier threat, rolling past Byron Nelson with ease. The Dragons have yet to be seriously tested, but that could change this week as they host a surging Trinity team that’s also off to a 3-0 start.
Duncanville remains a looming presence in the top three, despite having just one game under its belt. The Panthers return from a bye to face Waxahachie—a team that’s quietly impressed and could prove to be a tougher out than expected.
In 5A, South Oak Cliff rebounded well from its early loss with a signature win over Longview, while Aledo, Lone Star, and Denton Ryan each extended their perfect starts. All three have looked sharp in different ways, but the coming weeks should offer a clearer sense of staying power.
Among smaller schools, Celina continues to rise after a convincing win over Gunter. A Friday matchup with Franklin will serve as an early litmus test for the Bobcats’ long-term potential.
Though the rankings remain largely unchanged, the tension is beginning to build. With several marquee matchups on deck, Week 4 may start to reveal which teams are truly built to last.
