The Texas high school football has now turned its attention\u00a0UIL<\/a>\u00a0postseason as teams across the Lone Star State are looking to make deep playoff runs. <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Southlake Carroll<\/a>\u00a0Dragons remain the state\u2019s No. 1 after completing a 10-0 season and look to be on their way to making a run at a ninth state championship as they started off with a 35-0 rout of Crowley to kick things off. So which other Lone Star State programs made a move up the latest set of Top 25 rankings?<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Massey Ratings<\/a>, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.<\/p>\n

Here is the latest Texas high school football Top 25 rankings, according to Massey as of Nov. 16.<\/p>\n

1. Southlake Carroll Dragons<\/p>\n

Southlake Carroll<\/a>\u00a0finished going 10-0 this season as they romped\u00a0Keller Central<\/a>, 49-3, just over a week ago. 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 (10-0) closed out the regular season by out-scoring their last four opponents by a combined score of 221-13. Riley Dodge\u2019s bunch showed no signs of slowing down in a 35-0 romp over Crowley<\/a> last week to start off the Class 6A, Division II postseason.<\/p>\n

With one of the top high-powered offenses in the country, Southlake Carroll looks to win a second straight playoff game when they take on Central<\/a> (7-4) on Thursday night. <\/p>\n

2. Allen Eagles<\/p>\n

The five-time UIL state champion\u00a0Allen<\/a>\u00a0Eagles (11-0) barely got away to start the Class 6A, Division I playoffs when they just edged out No. 25 ranked\u00a0Lewisville<\/a>, 22-15. <\/p>\n

The Eagles dominated their first nine 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. Allen then rolled to a 62-14 victory over\u00a0Princeton<\/a>\u00a0before thrashing\u00a0Plano West<\/a>, 55-7, and McKinney Boyd.<\/p>\n

Senior quarterback Jeremiah Daoud has been playing very well behind center, throwing for 2,114 yards and 23 touchdowns this season. <\/p>\n

3. Aledo Bearcats<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Aledo<\/a>\u00a0Bearcats (11-0) have been dominant over the last four games, beating\u00a0Azle<\/a>,\u00a0Denton<\/a>,\u00a0Granbury<\/a>,\u00a0Richland<\/a>\u00a0and Saginaw<\/a> by a combined score of 363-22.<\/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 Bearcats have looked just fine in the second half 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, as they\u2019ve rolled their way to an undefeated regular season.<\/p>\n

4. Duncanville Panthers<\/p>\n

Duncanville<\/a> (8-1) has started to really look like the team that many predicted in the preseason would be able to compete for another state championship. <\/p>\n

The Panthers opened up the Class 6A, Division I postseason with a 35-14 victory over Temple<\/a> last week. <\/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 leaning on backup quarterback\u00a0J\u2019Coryon Rivers\u00a0as the availability of starter<\/a>\u00a0Maximus The Great Denson\u00a0remains in question as the Class 6A, Division I playoffs rages on.<\/p>\n

5. North Crowley Panthers<\/p>\n

North Crowley<\/a>\u00a0(10-1) looks like they\u2019re clicking on all cylinders, as they have out-scored their last five opponents by a combined 278-71. The Panthers are winners of seven consecutive games after a 42-20 win over Keller<\/a> last week. <\/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

7.\u00a0Lake Travis<\/a>\u00a0(11-0)
8.\u00a0Prosper<\/a>\u00a0(10-1)
9.\u00a0DeSoto<\/a>\u00a0(8-3)

13.\u00a0North Shore<\/a>\u00a0(9-2)
14.\u00a0Dickinson<\/a>\u00a0(11-0)
<\/a>15.\u00a0North Forney<\/a>\u00a0(10-1)<\/p>\n

16.\u00a0C.E. King<\/a>\u00a0(9-2)
17.\u00a0Stephenville<\/a>\u00a0(11-0)
18.\u00a0Walnut Grove<\/a>\u00a0(11-0)
19.\u00a0Coppell<\/a>\u00a0(9-2)
20.\u00a0Argyle<\/a>\u00a0(10-1)<\/p>\n

21.\u00a0Randle<\/a> (11-0)
<\/a>22.\u00a0Dripping Springs<\/a>\u00a0(10-1)
<\/a>23.\u00a0Carthage<\/a>\u00a0(11-0)
