THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 3 Football Rankings; Lewisville cracks Top-10, with D'Ville also climbing
Entering the third week of the new season, early trends across the DFW metroplex are beginning to crystallize. While it's still too early to draw sweeping conclusions, the latest rankings highlight a few programs that have made their presence felt — and others showing flashes of long-term promise.
North Crowley remains atop the list after a resilient comeback win over DeSoto, one of the region’s most talented rosters. The Panthers’ athleticism and composure under pressure are starting to match their preseason hype.
They’ll be tested again this week when they travel to Denton Guyer — a team that looked much sharper in a bounce-back win over Martin.
Southlake Carroll and Duncanville are as formidable as ever. Carroll handled Hebron with ease and now prepares for a tricky road test at Byron Nelson. Duncanville, fresh off a hard-fought win over South Oak Cliff, heads into a bye week with confidence and key reps under their belt.
Elsewhere in 6A, Lewisville impressed with a strong win over Byron Nelson and will look to keep momentum against Rockwall. Allen and Prosper have yet to be seriously tested but remain undefeated and efficient in all phases.
In 5A, Aledo continues to impose its will defensively, while South Oak Cliff — despite a narrow loss — remains dangerous. Denton Ryan and Frisco Lone Star are both off to strong starts, showing discipline on both sides of the ball.
Highland Park rebounded with a dominant shutout of Lovejoy, and 4A power Celina held off La Vega in a shootout thriller, setting up an exciting matchup with Gunter.
With district play approaching, the coming week could offer even more clarity as top programs begin facing real resistance.

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 2 Football Rankings; SOC ascends, Prosper skyrockets
The Dallas-Fort Worth football scene wasted no time delivering drama, dominance, and a few early shakeups in the latest VYPE Top-20.
North Crowley validated its high expectations with a gritty win over Lancaster, while Prosper made headlines by outlasting Central Texas powerhouse Westlake—an early résumé booster that propelled the Eagles into the top tier of the rankings.
Southlake Carroll, which looked every bit the title contender in a lopsided 49-0 win over Midland. The Dragons, fresh off a 6A-Division II State Runner-Up finish last season, appear equipped to make a similar run with a well-rounded roster and statement-making defense.
Allen also made noise with a commanding performance against Midland Legacy, offering further proof that last season’s growing pains may be behind them.
In the 5A and 4A ranks, South Oak Cliff turned heads by taking down state juggernaut North Shore in a 41-31 shootout. It was the kind of win that could set the tone for another deep playoff push for the two-time state champs.
Aledo, meanwhile, grinded out a hard-earned win over 6A contender Denton Guyer, reasserting its place among the area’s most consistent programs.
Not to be overlooked, Celina (4A) and Lovejoy (5A) also opened their seasons with quality wins, with the Bobcats lighting up Bellville for 50 points and Lovejoy edging Lubbock-Cooper in a tight one.
DeSoto stumbled out of the gate in a high-profile interstate matchup, falling to Georgia’s Creekside. Still, the Eagles will have little time to dwell on the loss, as they prepare for a pivotal clash with North Crowley that could significantly shift the 6A landscape.
With early contenders separating themselves and heavyweight matchups looming, Week 2 promises even more clarity—and chaos—as the season takes shape.
