VYPE DFW Football: Week 6
Oct 02, 2020
There is quite the bevy of games this week across the DFW high school football landscape. We're not going to make predictions, but more talk about what makes the matchup intriguing.
#9 Humble Atascocita vs. #6 Allen
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTM5OC9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyNjc4NDMyN30.qxFRLZMczkqe3AMnudf87W5hVcE2u9h3b2MDPlL3O1c/img.png?width=980" id="be3e1" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="ee4a91c118c9bead6abf2944f0f9e258" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>This should be a barn-burner as both teams like to score. Allen put up 49 last week in a season-opening win over rival Plano East while this is the first game for Humble Atascocita. Despite winning by 23, it took Allen a bit to get going and that could be a problem against a high-powered Atascocita team. Allen doesn't lose at home and it fended off a couple of tough early-season challengers a year ago in Cedar Hill and Dickinson.</p>#12 Converse Judson vs. #10 Desoto
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTQxMC9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzMTE2MjY0NH0.dWVmI8TCxbHw2cuhcPTViAaZC-GWtQd2FGWSk7QITMw/img.png?width=980" id="dbf37" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="e4cec6e7279a0fc04fe5432b3035dbc4" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Another 6A-state ranked matchup is a battle of long-time juggernauts. This is the opener for both teams, so it'll be interesting to see how the delayed start will impact each team. This game looks to be the definition of a slugfest as both like to hit their opponents hard and hit them often. </p>No. 15 Cedar Hill vs. No. 22 Arlington
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTQzMy9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzMjA3NDQxNX0.1-NVTQOn-2e5xp2dsLczUS13uT2R3K9WeqJaheBS10Y/img.png?width=980" id="63a53" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="fff10a920b0eea61a6c117d612bd7314" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>The third, 6A-ranked matchup of the night pits two teams with dynamic quarterbacks - Kaidon Salter for Cedar Hill; Kris Sim for Alrington. Arlington dominated Mansfield last week in a 30-point win but will face quite the test in against Cedar Hill. For Cedar Hill, it will need the Salter that electrified the team in the first half against Arlington Martin in the playoffs last year, not the one that folded when the momentum shifted drastically in the second half. </p>#1 Denton Ryan vs. #5 Denton Guyer
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTQ0NS9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxNTkxNTU0M30.CGeraaF8uMdpoRnm-mCOJOiGKbGMq0FRqx864z0VaKk/img.png?width=980" id="3d92b" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="dddcf0438a1393c578556f55c656c038" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>The amount of talent in the Denton area is phenomenal, and the majority of that will be on display as No. 1-ranked 5A DI team, Denton Ryan, meets its cross-town rival Denton Guyer, which is ranked No. 5 in 6A. Both Ryan and Guyer systematically dominated their respective opponents last week and the expectations for how these teams finish this year are incredibly high. Collins Athletic Complex in Denton will be loud - even at limited capacity - and should not disappoint with Power 5 D1 talent on both rosters. </p>#7 Frisco Lone Star vs. #2 Aledo
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTQ3NC9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxNjI0OTc4Mn0.gYZqFKqCv2FHN-BHRKeeu4XeYznxGj1zOE9GZBGVGzQ/img.png?width=980" id="c5b80" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="0d828e9927133e534122eab814ac8fdd" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Polar opposite debuts for these teams as No. 7 Lone Star (5A DI) fell in its opener to North Forney while No. 2 Aledo (5A DII) completely annihilated Weatherford. Had this game taken place last year, it would definitely have a lot more attention, but it should still be interesting. How does Lone Star bounce back after a stunning loss? Does Aledo play complacent after dominating its cross-county rival?<br></p>#7 Melissa vs. #1 Argyle
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTQ4Mi9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxNDIyMDEzMX0.TEts_iuxKKR-3I8M-baX0DC_JLHVeFtdDWNEoMRf53w/img.png?width=980" id="697d6" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="b12cb8709857c648ecc78529e10d9d5a" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>The marquee matchup in 4A Division I pits two teams that have played four times, though Melissa owns a 5-0 record because of last week's forfeit from Paris. Argyle is dominating on both sides of the ball and are a clear-cut favorite for the state title, especially after its big win over Waco La Vega two weeks ago. Melissa is a surprise team right now, so it'll be interesting how much it can hang with Argyle.<br></p>#2 Duncanville vs. Dallas South Oak Cliff
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTUwMi9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY1NDcxMDkwNH0.IgJZMO0F4jqnbXEwY_RBcsluvvsYI9m3yzNqzLHk8Yg/img.png?width=980" id="e8e95" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="a8834bd249caa5281d8bf84ac0e02ff2" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>It's the season-opener for both teams as 6A No. 2 Duncanville begins its quest for third straight appearance in the state championship. The defense is not the question for Duncanville. That would be at quarterback as it lost its two-year starter to graduation and his heir apparent transferred to Red Oak. South Oak Cliff is a bit down this year but always has a bunch of skill athletes all over the field, so a big test against a state powerhouse will show where the Golden Bears are early on.</p>Rockwall-Heath vs. #7 Southlake Carroll
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQ1NTUxNC9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzMzgyNzM1N30.iFjZyKwqexd93RcA-8i3BkUSZ6VLFCFhdVW7j1Kd1M4/img.png?width=980" id="088ef" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="92909af7f7569d0a02d04a40fdf6e371" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>We didn't quite know what Rockwall-Heath was entering the 2020 season, and in last week's game against Lewisville we found out they are a high-flying team. Rockwall-Heath put up 72 points on Lewisville but gave up more than 600 yards, defensively. Southlake Carroll has a 5-star QB and is opening the game at home. Can Rockwall-Heath keep up with Carroll or will it force Carroll to have to play at that similar pace. It could easily be another game where 124 yards are put on the board.</p>

6A Preview Part 3: 9-6A, 10-6A & 11-6A
Sep 23, 2020
It's finally here. After a lot of worry and wonder, the big schools are ready to kick off their delayed seasons. For this week, we'll be breaking down three 6A schools at a time going through 3-6A through 11-6A in three installments.
Previewing 9-6A
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQzNDY2Mi9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzMzQ4NjcwNn0.M1UEwzsp-4uAonPs2wT8OZlTlcciZ8MmJGp_BQOi9S8/img.png?width=980" id="a5b8c" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="471af378a7fb2dd218dad5acc56e29cc" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Last year, this group of teams beat and battered one another where it became a running joke as to which team would be in first place this week and then which one would take the reigns the next. A lot of what was expected didn't turn out so, and other teams came from nowhere as pleasant surprises.</p><p> Wylie and Sachse shared the district crown but have quite a drop in returning starters this year, paving the way for the other two playoff teams - Naaman Forest and Lakeview Centennial - to make a push to the top of standings. Naaman Forest returns 18 starters on offense while Centennial is looking at 11. </p><p>Camar Wheaton is the big offensive name, who bust onto the scene as a 5-star freshman. More big numbers are expected from him and he could lead Lakeview Centennial to a district title.<br></p><h5>Projected 2020 Playoff Teams:</h5><p>Naaman Forest<br>Lakeview Centennial<br>Sachse<br>Rowlett<br></p>Previewing 10-6A
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQzNDY2NC9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxNzU1NDgzNH0.7sIj8ZkySyawAyBl24uyOfGlcxQn0hhDJ-nk_etaVKY/img.png?width=980" id="d6766" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="f5468a6793749b5e525649c09df5395f" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Out is Longview (down to 5A) and in is Skyine in this district. Everything else remains the same for a district that was a 2-horse race between Rockwall and Longview. And it looks to be another 2-horse race, this time between Rockwall and Skyline.</p><p>Both teams enter the 2020 having gone 6-1 last year in district play and return plenty of talent to contend again. This includes Rockwall quarterback Braedyn Locke, who came out of nowhere to put up gaudy numbers. Coach Roddy Webb (move to Denton Guyer) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (graduated) are gone but there are still plenty of options at Locke's disposal.<br></p><p>Third and fourth place seem to be a 3-way race between Tyler Legacy, Mesquite and Rockwall-Heath.<br></p><h5>Projected 2020 Playoff Teams:</h5><p>Rockwall<br>Skyline<br>Mesquite<br>Rockwall-Heath<br></p>Previewing 11-6A
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQzNDY2NS9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyMDE2MTI3N30.T_W9l5kz7zxCYi-RhqQdcM_WGUMPnGFEE8iIWnN8XFM/img.png?width=980" id="73460" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="c39e6b30fbfa9d01ef41df0de736cc97" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Cedar Hill, DeSoto and Duncanville are three of the premier 6A programs in the state and they all reside in 11-6A for the next two years. Throw in Waco Midway, and it would seem this district's playoff representatives are already a lock.</p><p>Duncanville is vying for a third shot at a state title, and according to some prognosticators, it's very possible it is back again. The defense is salty once again, but the big key is going to be quarterback. It transferred out a stud freshman but transferred in a former dual-threat TAPPS QB.</p><p>Cedar Hill will look to shake off the terrible loss it suffered in the playoffs, giving up a 27-7 halftime lead as Guyer made an improbable comeback.<br> </p><h5>Projected 2020 Playoff Teams:</h5><p>Duncanville<br>Cedar Hill<br>DeSoto<br>Waco<br></p>
