Rockwall-Heath Hawks
THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 8 Football Rankings; Rockwall-Heath asserts itself with an instant classic
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.
