Southlake Carroll Dragons<\/p>\n Southlake Carroll<\/a>\u00a0are destined to go 10-0 this season based on the way they\u2019re playing. The Dragons have been by far the most consistent team in Texas high school football season and every week on the field, the validate that.<\/p>\n The Dragons (9-0) latest win was a 49-0 rout of Bell, with Southlake Carroll out-scoring their last three opponents by a combined score of 172-14.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh<\/a>\u00a0commit\u00a0Angelo Renda<\/a>\u00a0(2,811 yards, 25 touchdowns) and his favorite target,\u00a0Ohio State<\/a>\u00a0pledge\u00a0Brock Boyd<\/a>, who hauled in 111 passes for 1,868 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2024, remain the state\u2019s top quarterback-wide receiver tandem.\u00a0Boyd through eight games has caught 54 passes for 865 yards and 10 touchdowns.<\/p>\n Southlake Carroll closes out regular season play with Keller Central<\/a> (5-3). <\/p>\n 2. Allen Eagles<\/p>\n The five-time UIL state champion\u00a0Allen<\/a>\u00a0Eagles (8-0) were on the ropes last week against No. 6 ranked\u00a0Prosper<\/a>, but was able to hold on for the thrilling victory in the final minutes. <\/p>\n The Eagles have been dominant through their first seven games as they opened with a 46-13 victory over\u00a0Midland Legacy<\/a>, breezed by Cedar Hill, 38-0 and then thumped\u00a0Rock Hill<\/a>\u00a0in a 70-14 rout before cruising past\u00a0Plano<\/a>\u00a0in a 55-0 romp. They then rolled to a 62-14 victory over\u00a0Princeton<\/a> before thrashing Plano West<\/a>, 55-7. <\/p>\n The Eagles look to finish out the regular season with a 10-0 record as their final two games are against McKinney Boyd<\/a> and Plano East<\/a>, respectively. <\/p>\n 3. Aledo Bearcats<\/p>\n The\u00a0Aledo<\/a>\u00a0Bearcats (8-0) have been dominant over the last two games, beating Granbury<\/a> and Richland<\/a> by a combined 133-10. <\/p>\n Despite last year\u2019s starter\u00a0Gavin Beard\u00a0transferring to\u00a0All Saints Episcopal<\/a>, which opened the door for\u00a0Nash McElree\u00a0to emerge as the team\u2019s QB1, and the Aledo Bearcats (5-0) have looked just fine in the first few weeks of play.<\/p>\n Aledo has simply taken care of business week after week, starting against a solid\u00a0Lancaster<\/a>\u00a0squad, coming away with the 18-0 win then dispatching\u00a0Brewer<\/a>, 54-7, easily rolling by\u00a0Birdville<\/a>\u00a0in a 56-7 rout and then Fossil Ridge most recently before defeating Ryan.<\/p>\n The Bearcats close out the regular season with games against Azle<\/a> and Denton<\/a>, respectively. <\/p>\n 4. Duncanville Panthers<\/p>\n Duncanville (5-1) pulled off their biggest win of the 2025 season a few weeks ago when they soundly defeated\u00a0DeSoto<\/a>, 48-28, behind a huge performance from junior quarterback Maximus The Great Denson.<\/p>\n The 6-foot-1, 173-pound passer was surgical in picking apart Eagles\u2019 defensive backfield as Denson completed\u00a023 of 31 passes for 328 yards and the seven scores<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Panthers followed that up with big wins up over\u00a0Lancaster<\/a>\u00a0and Horn<\/a> as they continue to roll since their loss to\u00a0Waxahachie<\/a>\u00a0back on Sep. 19.<\/p>\n Duncanville<\/a>\u00a0continues to be considered a state title contender in the UIL\u2019s Class 6A, Division I classification. Other key players this fall to watch for from the Panthers are four-star edge rushers\u00a0Kevin Ford<\/a>\u00a0(Florida<\/a>\u00a0commit) and\u00a0Landon Barnes<\/a>\u00a0(Ole Miss<\/a>\u00a0commit), wide receiver\u00a0Trenton Yancey<\/a>\u00a0and cornerback\u00a0Braylon Edwards<\/a>\u00a0(SMU<\/a>\u00a0commit).<\/p>\n Panthers are back in action on Halloween night against Mesquite<\/a>. <\/p>\n 5. North Crowley Panthers<\/p>\n North Crowley<\/a>\u00a0(7-1) looks like they\u2019re clicking on all cylinders, as they have out-scored their last two opponents by a combined 139-24. <\/p>\n What head coach Ray Gates and his staff have to figure out is how they will get the team refocused after losing for the first time since 2023. North Crowley still keeps its sights set on winning the UIL Class 6A, Division I state championship this fall.<\/p>\n The Panthers still feature what has to still be considered one of the more talented defensive secondaries in the Lone Star State, which includes players like\u00a0Texas Tech<\/a>\u00a0commit\u00a0Aaron Bradshaw<\/a>, three-star safety\u00a0Elijajuan Houston<\/a>, four-star cornerback\u00a0Jerry Outhouse<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Colorado State<\/a>\u00a0commit\u00a0Thomas Cook<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Panthers have games remaining versus Mansfield<\/a> and Crowley<\/a>, respectively. <\/p>\n 6.\u00a0Lake Travis<\/a>\u00a0(8-0) 11.\u00a0DeSoto<\/a>\u00a0(5-3) 16.\u00a0Summer Creek<\/a>\u00a0(7-1) 21.\u00a0Lone Star<\/a>\u00a0(7-1)
