THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 10 Football Rankings; Allen gets an unforgettable district win
If there’s one theme running through this stretch of high school football, it’s the margin for error — or lack thereof. Each Friday seems to tighten the gap between contenders and challengers, and Week 9 delivered another round of razor-thin finishes that reshaped the pecking order across multiple districts.
Allen (8–0) survived one of those battles, edging Prosper 31–30 in a back-and-forth shootout that reaffirmed both programs’ staying power. Southlake Carroll (9–0) remains firmly atop the rankings after blanking Bell 49–0, while Duncanville and North Crowley handled business to keep pace among 6A’s elite.
The most compelling clash ahead may come in District 5-6A, where Denton Guyer (6–2) and Lewisville (7–1) square off with the district title likely hanging in the balance. The stakes don’t get much higher.
In 5A, the usual suspects continue to dominate their respective brackets. South Oak Cliff and Aledo rolled to commanding wins, maintaining their grip as frontrunners, while Frisco Lone Star, Denton Ryan, and Argyle remain close behind — each showcasing steady, disciplined play down the stretch.
Meanwhile, Highland Park, Melissa, and North Forney stay in the mix, with the Falcons’ upcoming test against Longview carrying serious playoff weight.
With only a handful of games left, separation is scarce and every possession feels heavier. For teams sitting on the brink — whether unbeaten or unproven — the difference between dominance and disappointment may come down to a single Friday night drive.

Rockwall-Heath Hawks
THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 8 Football Rankings; Rockwall-Heath asserts itself with an instant classic
As district play intensifies heading into Week 8, the Dallas-Fort Worth football landscape continues to showcase a familiar blend of dominance and depth across all classifications.
Duncanville reaffirmed its championship pedigree with a decisive 48–28 victory over DeSoto in one of the state’s premier rivalries. In the same 11-6A mix, Waxahachie and Cedar Hill appear headed for a pivotal matchup after comfortable wins that kept both firmly in contention.
Denton Guyer continues to gain traction in 5-6A, quietly putting together an unbeaten district mark, while Lewisville and Prosper also remain unblemished and poised for deeper runs. North Crowley, too, continues to impress with its balance and explosiveness.
Perhaps the weekend’s most dramatic moment came in 10-6A, where Rockwall-Heath emerged from a 56–55 offensive showcase against North Forney — a game that featured fireworks from start to finish and ultimately handed the Falcons their first loss of the season. The Hawks’ resilience in that shootout reasserts their spot among the region’s top 6A contenders.
Among 5A programs, Aledo and South Oak Cliff once again appear a cut above, but Melissa has forced its way back into the Top-20 following a decisive victory over Lovejoy, extending its district win-streak to four.
Several key clashes now loom that could further reshape the regional structure heading into late October.
