Aiden Evans runs for one of his three touchdowns against Flower Mound Marcus during a game Friday, Sept. 25. Lewisville won 40-7.
Jeff Rayome
The headline for Week 5 of the high school football season for UIL teams was the news that dropped Friday morning.
Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield was ruled ineligible and the Fighting Farmers had to forfeit three convincing wins and were now 0-3.
Hours later, a new quarterback led Lewisville to win No. 1 — technically — against Flower Mound Edward S. Marcus in the Battle of Axe.
That showing of Aiden Evans was one of five things we learned last week.
The Sam Houston State pledge took over at quarterback and threw for a touchdown and carried the ball 6 times for 167 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 40-7 win. It was a situation where Coach Michael Odle put the ball in the hands of his playmakers.
Add in a touchdown catch from Derrick Martin Jr., a Missouri State commit, and the Farmers still have a recipe that could be a factor come postseason time.
Aledo’s streak snapped
The second-biggest news was the end of a winning streak for Aledo in district play.
The Bearcats had won 136 in a row, dating back to 2007, which spanned many classes over the years. Now, in Class 6A, the Bearcats suffered a loss to Arlington Martin, 35-21.
The Warriors scored the go-ahead score on Chase Devoll’s pass to Malik Mason for 13 yards. Kaden Phillips ran for a 33-yard score late in the fourth to ice.
For Aledo, it was the first time it lost back-to-back home games since 2005. It was the nation's longest active district winning streak.
Martin improved to 5-0, passing the win total for the past two years — 3-7 in 2024 and 4-6 in 2025.
Indians making noise
Keller improved to 5-0 with a 54-53 win in overtime over Fort Worth Boswell on Friday.
A touchdown run in overtime and a PAT gave Keller the lead. The game ended when Boswell missed the PAT.
Blake Dyniewski ran for 161 yards and 3 touchdowns for Keller. Graham Kaler had two receiving touchdowns — on 3 catches for 142 yards.
The torrid start has allowed Keller to match the win total of last year — when they were 5-6. Keller also had 5 wins in 2024.
Now, with District 3-6A play coming up, Keller will be tested. The Indians were also 5-0 in 2024, but closed with a 2-4 record and a loss to eventual state champion North Crowley in the playoffs.
Better than last year
McKinney North posted a 52-24 win over Frisco Heritage in the District 5-5A Division I opener.
While there are plenty of games left, the Bulldogs are now 4-0 and already surpassed last year’s 3-7 mark.
Next up is to get to win No. 5 and match what the team did in 20024.
The Bulldogs used a strong rushing attack with 43 carries for 477 yards — 11.09 yards per carry — and scored five touchdowns on the ground. John Richardson led the way with 13 carries for 138 yards and accounted for three of the touchdowns.
Gotta Love(joy) it
Two weeks ago, Lucas Lovejoy had a walk-off win on a Hail Mary.
This week, an overtime win over Colleyville Heritage, 38-35, in District 3-5A Division II play.
Quarterback Nixon Slaughter had the game-winning touchdown on a 3-yard run that was the winner. Slaughter ran for 3 touchdowns and also passed for two more, to go with 291 yards.
The Leopards improved to 5-0 and are only one win shy of matching last year’s win total. There are five games left on the schedule — three of them against teams that are either 4-1 or 4-0 right now.
How the games against Nevada Community, Argyle and The Colony will decide who the district champion is and which school will be fighting to avoid the No. 4 seed.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 6 | Allen Keeps Rolling; Martin Enters Top 20
28 Sep, 2026
Allen quarterback Ty Snell rolls out to pass during the Eagles’ 26-7 win over Duncanville (8/28/26).
Kevin Bartram (VYPE Sideline)
The first half of the regular season is officially in the rearview mirror, and the Week 6 rankings come with a rare sight: a sizable portion of the region’s heavy-hitters are set for a well-earned midseason bye.
Allen continues to validate its consensus No. 1 ranking in Texas, with the Eagles improving to 5-0 after another one-sided victory. Averaging nearly 50 points per game, Allen has shown little indication of slowing down as district play moves forward. North Crowley, Waxahachie, Coppell and Southlake Carroll are also riding strong starts, while Duncanville gets a boost after blanking formidable district opponent Red Oak, 42-0.
The 5A ranks feature plenty of movement as well. Lone Star remains unbeaten at 4-0 after outlasting Melissa in a 35-30 classic, while Argyle also moves up following a convincing win over Grapevine. Anna, Celina, Timberview and McKinney North continue to add depth to an increasingly competitive classification.
Perhaps the most impactful result of the week, however, came from Arlington Martin. The Warriors’ 35-21 victory over perennial state contender Aledo could prove to be a defining moment this fall, and their perfect 5-0 start earns them a debut in the Top 20 alongside McKinney North (4-0). With most of the top teams taking the week off, the spotlight now shifts to those still in action.
