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.

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 2 Football Rankings; SOC ascends, Prosper skyrockets
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.
