RANKINGS
Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield runs against Denton Billy Ryan. Brassfield was ruled ineligible by 5-6A District Executive Committee on Sept. 25.
Lewisville starting quarterback ruled ineligible
The Lewisville Fighting Farmers started Friday, Sept. 25, with a 3-0 record and ranked No. 13 in Class 6A.
Heading into the Battle of the Axe that night, Lewisville is now 0-3 and without starting quarterback Laykon Brassfield.
The 5-6A District Executive Committee held a hearing on Friday about a residency issue regarding Brassfield.
The DEC voted 5-2 that Brassfield not move for athletic purposes, but voted 7-0 that Brassfield did not meet the criteria to be a resident in Lewisville ISD or Lewisville High School.
The Platform reported in March that Brassfield transferred from Edmond North, near Oklahoma City, to Lewisville.
The junior has completed 74% of his passes this year, throwing for 742 yards with 13 touchdowns and 1 interception. He’s also run for 124 yards and 2 scores for the Farmers.
On Twitter, Brassfield said he and his family will appeal the DEC decision, but he is currently ineligible to play.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Brassfield’s two younger brothers are enrolled at Argyle ISD, which Brassfield’s father testified was bought for Laykon’s grandfather.
Jonathan Brassfield said he unenrolled his two sons at Argyle ISD after questions were raised and the family is living in an apartment in Lewisville.
This is the second noteworthy transfer decision this week. The UIL denied an appeal from Allen defensive back Elijah Smith, agreeing with a DEC decision that Smith moved for athletic purposes.
Smith moved from Hamilton, Arizona, and has not played a varsity game for the 4-0 Eagles. According to 247Sports, Smith has offers from Baylor, Kansas State, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Colorado State and UNLV.

Thursday, Sept. 24
Frisco Wakeland at Denton Guyer at C.H. Collins Athletic Complex.
The No. 11-ranked Guyer Wildcats will host Frisco Wakeland in a District 5-6A game. Guyer lost its last time out against Class 6A No. 1-ranked Waxahachie on Sept. 10, trailing 37-30 and in the red zone before a fumble return touchdown ended an upset bid. Like Guyer, the Wakeland Wolverines are coming off a bye. Both teams are 2-1.
Waxahachie at Dallas Skyline at Forester Field.
The Class 6A No. 1-ranked Indians, after winning two close games vs. Coppell and Denton Guyer, hammered Mansfield Lake Ridge, 63-27. WR Jordan Thompson-Woods had 4 catches and 4 TDs last game. Skyline is 2-2 and 0-1 in District 11-6A.
Friday, Sept. 25
Arlington Martin at Aledo at Tim Buchanan Stadium.
Aledo has won 136 straight district games dating back to 2007. The Bearcats will host a 4-0 Arlington Martin squad this week. Could the streak end?
Grapevine at Argyle at Argyle ISD Stadium.
This is a District 3-5A Division II opener for both teams. Argyle is 3-1 and has won three in a row since a Week 1 loss to Oak Ridge, California. Julian Caldwell had 240 yards and 4 touchdowns in last week’s win against Dallas Highland Park. Grapevine is 2-2 and has seemingly made progress after going 1-9 in 2025 and 0-10 in 2024.
Lancaster at Cedar Hill at Longhorn Stadium.
Lancaster enters as winners of 3 in a row since losing in Week 1 to defending Class 6A Division I champion Galena Park North Shore.

The Longhorns are coming off the first win of the season with a 38-28 win over Midlothian.
Flower Mound Edward S. Marcus at Lewisville at Lewisville ISD Stadium.
The Marauders will be underdogs in this game, facing a Fighting Farmers team ranked No. 13 in the state. This will be the District 5-6A opener for both teams — who were both idle last week. Marcus is 15-7 overall vs. Lewisville, but the Farmers have won the past 4 meetings.
Midlothian at DeSoto at Eagle Stadium.
DeSoto has won two in a row after a 0-2 start. A win over Burleson Centennial, 29-3, started the District 8-5A Division I portion of the schedule for Claude Mathis’ squad. Next up is a 2-2 Midlothian squad that lost two in a row.
Northwest Haslet V.R. Eaton at Southlake Carroll at Dragon Stadium.

Princeton at Allen at Eagle Stadium.
Allen will look to go to 2-0 in District 6-6A play when Princeton comes to town. The Panthers are 2-2 and lost their district opener last week against Dallas Jesuit. Allen is 4-0 and has been steamrolling everyone this season. After a close start against Prosper, Allen won by 30.
Red Oak at Duncanville at Panther Stadium.
Red Oak is 3-1, while Duncanville is 1-3 heading into this District 11-6A clash. Red Oak is 1-0 in district play after beating Mansfield, 23-20, in its first 6A district game. Red Oak was 3-3 in district play last year and failed to make the playoffs. Duncanville, losers of two in a row, has not played Red Oak, dating back to at least 2004.
Celina at Frisco Panther Creek at David Kuykendall Stadium.
Panther Creek is already behind the 8-ball in the hunt for a district title in 4-5A Division II after losing to Anna in Week 3. The Panthers won 40-27 against Denison last week to even the district mark, but are still chasing Anna, which is 2-0 and 4-0 overall. Celina and Frisco are the teams with undefeated district marks, both 1-0. Celina, up from Class 4A Division I, is 3-0 under new coach Marc Bindel.
