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.

THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 5 Football Rankings; Multiple Upsets shake up the order
This past week brought chaos to the Dallas-Fort Worth outlook, with two of our previous Top-3 teams falling in dramatic fashion – a reminder that no lead, nor legacy, is safe this season.
The most seismic result came out of District 11-6A, where Waxahachie stunned perennial power Duncanville in a 28-27 nail-biter.
This now opens the door for Waxahachie to stake a serious claim as a district title threat, while D’Ville looks to bounce back against Skyline this week. However, the Indians' climb won’t get any easier, as they visit DeSoto on Friday in a matchup that now carries major playoff seeding implications.
Just as surprising was the fall of North Crowley, last year’s 6A-D1 State Champion, who dropped a 37-35 shootout at home versus Rockwall. Still, the Panthers remain one of the most dangerous teams in Texas and will have a prime opportunity to reset against Mansfield Legacy.
While others faltered, Southlake Carroll ascended to the No. 1 spot with a commanding 44-6 win over Trinity, handing the Trojans their first loss of the season. Carroll’s defense continues to be elite, and the Dragons appear to be tightening their hold on District 4-6A.
Elsewhere in 6A, Allen and Prosper both rolled to dominant victories in District 6-6A, setting up what could be a tense race for the top down the stretch. Lewisville, Coppell, and Denton Guyer were all idle but remain lurking just outside the top tier.
In 5A and below, South Oak Cliff, Aledo, and Lone Star all handled business with lopsided wins, while Celina remained unbeaten and now preps for a key 4A matchup against fellow 4-0 Panther Creek.
With district play heating up and top-ranked teams proving they can bleed, Week 5 offers plenty of opportunity — not just for redemption, but for redefinition.
