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.

POWER GRID: VYPE DFW Volleyball Rankings | Allen Soars to Top Spot, BNHS, Hebron, Wylie Headline Title Race
As far as heavyweights go in the Dallas area, Allen is positioning itself as one of the most complete rosters in Texas. More than the Eagles’ 25-2 record, it’s the caliber of opponents they’ve taken down that commands attention — including Byron Nelson, Hebron, Flower Mound, Mansfield, Plano East, Prestonwood Christian Academy, and Seven Lakes.
Two-time defending state champion Byron Nelson (20-3) is on a mission for the elusive three-peat, a feat last achieved in Class 6A by Hebron from 2015-17. The Hawks, coincidentally, are on a tear of their own, sitting at 23-6 after winning 19 of their last 20 matches entering district play.
Wylie (22-4) has taken its game to another level, while McKinney Boyd (19-5) has emerged as one of the fall’s more welcome surprises. Flower Mound (15-6) and Duncanville (26-4) remain firmly in the mix, with Plano West, Mansfield, North Forney, Lake Ridge, and Heath close behind.
Meanwhile, Eagle Mountain has shown no signs of regression after moving up to Class 5A, boasting a 24-5 record after capturing last year’s 4A Division II title. Argyle (23-5) remains as commanding as ever, while Reedy (16-6) continues to climb into the forefront.
The tournament slate is in the rearview — now, it’s time to see who separates themselves when the stakes rise.
