Argyle QB Hayes Hackney steps up in the pocket against Oak Ridge (CA) in the Eagles’ season opener (8/28).
FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 8 | Argyle, The Lew, NoCro Keep Making Noise
North Crowley strengthened its position with a 42-17 win over Waxahachie at Lumpkins Stadium. While the Indians remain a threat in the district race, NoCro’s latest victory keeps the Panthers unbeaten at 6-0 and puts them on the brink of another district crown.
In 5A, Argyle handed Lovejoy its first loss of the season, securing a decisive 45-28 victory. Beyond breaking into the Top 10, the Eagles have cleared what may have been their toughest hurdle on the path to the District 3-5A Division II crown.
Perhaps the week’s most thrilling matchup came in the 50-49 shootout between Jesuit and Walnut Grove. With the narrow victory, Jesuit earned its first appearance in the DFW rankings as both teams head into another pivotal district clash.
