THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 7 Football Rankings; HP, Argyle making the climb in 5A
Several contenders solidified their standing with dominant performances, while others face pivotal matchups on the horizon that could redefine the playoff picture heading into the back half of the regular season.
Undefeated squads including Southlake Carroll, Prosper, Lewisville, Celina, Lone Star, and Aledo all took care of business in Week 6—some with blowout wins, others in tightly contested battles.
Aledo’s narrow 15-14 win over Denton Ryan proved especially meaningful, tightening its grip on the 3-5A Division I title race while dealing a blow to one of its top challengers.
In 5A, South Oak Cliff maintained momentum with a shutout victory, while Highland Park and Argyle continue trending upward following high-scoring wins. Meanwhile, Celina remains a model of consistency in 4A, showing no signs of slowing down.
Friday night brings one of the most anticipated matchups of the season, as Duncanville and DeSoto—both coming off bye weeks—prepare to battle in a clash that could shape the 11-6A playoff picture.
Elsewhere, Denton Guyer looks to be rounding into form after a strong showing against Coppell, while Rockwall’s loss to Longview knocks the Yellowjackets down a few spots.
Other critical risers of note include Cedar Hill and Rockwall-Heath.

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 6 Football Rankings; DeSoto back in the Top-10 with decisive victory
As the high school football season hits its midpoint, the top of the Dallas-Fort Worth area rankings remains as competitive as ever, with several undefeated teams looking to cement their positions entering Week 6.
At the 6A level, Southlake Carroll and Allen continue to dominate their respective districts, each sitting at 5-0 following emphatic blowout wins. While Allen heads into a bye, Carroll prepares for a key home test against a Keller squad with playoff ambitions.
Prosper, another unbeaten giant in 6A, handled a talented Plano East team and now turns its focus to Rock Hill as it continues a quietly consistent campaign.
Elsewhere, DeSoto made the biggest statement of Week 5, halting Waxahachie’s perfect run in dominant fashion. The Eagles, now 3-2, have overcome early-season challenges and seem to be hitting stride as they approach their bye — just in time for a massive district clash with Duncanville looming after the break.
In 5A, the anticipated Aledo–Denton Ryan matchup is finally here. Both programs remain undefeated after lopsided victories and now face off in what could serve as a preview of deeper playoff rounds.
Lone Star and Highland Park also remain firmly in the mix, the latter surviving a 70–66 thriller against Tyler to stay atop its district.
Meanwhile, Celina continues to carry the 4A flag with a 5-0 record, having edged Panther Creek last week. The Bobcats travel to Aubrey this Friday looking to remain perfect.
With rankings beginning to crystallize, Week 6 offers both clarity and chaos — with heavyweight clashes and district implications unfolding across every level.
