THE HIERARCHY: VYPE DFW 2025 Week 9 Football Rankings; Guyer, RW-Heath, Coppell keep trending upwards
With the regular season nearing its final stretch, the region’s top programs have largely distinguished themselves from the masses, though a few late-season tests still loom large. Now, the challenge now lies in sustaining form and sharpening execution as the postseason draws near.
Southlake Carroll (8-0) continues to handle its business with trademark efficiency, while Allen (7-0) and Prosper (7-0) take center stage this week in a matchup that should determine the District 6-6A crown — and perhaps clarify the broader power balance in the Metroplex.
Duncanville (4-1) and North Crowley (6-1) remain in steady pursuit, both showing signs of championship-caliber form as their defenses have begun to tighten.
In Class 5A, Lone Star (7-0), Highland Park (6-1), and Melissa (5-1) hover just beneath South Oak Cliff (6-1) and Aledo (7-0), representing programs that continue to evolve with each passing week. Celina (7-0) once again anchors the 4A discussion — balanced, battle-tested, and built for November.
Elsewhere, Denton Guyer (5-2) appears to have rediscovered its rhythm, Coppell (5-1) has emerged as a legitimate riser after toppling Lewisville (6-1), and Rockwall-Heath (6-1) quietly remains one of the most dangerous teams in the area.
Approaching kickoff this week, separation is minimal, but urgency is rising — and the next two contests will go a long way in defining who’s truly built for a deep run.

THE HIERARCHY: FINAL VYPE DFW Volleyball Rankings (Pre-Playoffs); McKinney North, Keller sneak into Top-5
Momentum means everything this time of year — and across the Dallas-area, plenty of programs are finding it at just the right moment. As of the end of October, the regional pecking order has begun to settle, though a few contenders still have time to make their case before brackets lock in.
Byron Nelson’s dominion is as prevalent as ever. The defending 6A-DII State Champions have stretched their win streak to 70 straight matches, standing at 34-0 while conceding only eight total sets in that span — three of those this fall. That kind of sustained precision has turned the Trophy Club trailblazers into a nationwide measuring stick.
Two familiar 6A challengers, Southlake Carroll (26-5) and Keller (28-6), are among the few to have taken a set off the Bobcats this year — no small feat — while Allen (33-5) and Plano West (25-5) have also positioned themselves well for extensive playoff runs toward the Curtis Culwell Center.
At the 5A level, McKinney North (31-3) headlines the conversation after its memorable State Final appearance last fall.
The Bulldogs look every bit capable of another charge, though programs like Aledo (35-2), Highland Park (34-8), Argyle (31-3), and Frisco Liberty (29-4) each bring enough firepower to disrupt the order – depending on how the divisions are split.
Even beyond the Top-10, the competitive depth is unmistakable. Mansfield (42-1), Flower Mound (32-7), and Duncanville (34-6) in 6A — along with Walnut Grove (30-7), Wakeland (23-7), and Lovejoy (27-12) in 5A — all linger as postseason wildcards capable of flipping any bracket.
And with every rally from here on out carrying real weight, the margins separating DFW’s powerhouses have never felt slimmer.
