Texas High School Football Rankings: Top 25 teams – Oct. 6

Following another exciting week of high school football across the state of Texas, the latest rankings are out reflecting a big weekend on the gridiron.

The top six schools in the state have remained the same, but there’s plenty of movement elsewhere.

Below are the top 25 teams in state, per the On3 Massey Ratings:

1. Duncanville

Previous: No. 1
The Panthers were idle after a 4-0 start, in which they’ve averaged better than 40 points per game. Their biggest test of the season comes Friday night in an enormous Dallas-area showdown with DeSoto.

2. Atascocita

Previous: No. 2
Atascocita dominated its first five opponents, with no games being decided by fewer than 17 points. Friday night’s game against Texas No. 12 Summer Creek was a different story, but the Eagles were still able to escape with a 42-39 victory on the road. Matchups against Humble and Kingwood are on the slate for the next two weeks before a Texas-sized tilt with North Shore.

3. North Shore

Previous: No. 3
The Mustangs remain undefeated after handling Kingwood 48-21 on Thursday night. They’ll face to back-to-back winless teams in Goose Creek Memorial and Channelview before the massive showdown against Atascocita on Oct. 25.

4. Southlake Carroll

Previous: No. 4
Southlake Carroll’s offense didn’t miss a beat on Friday despite being without star running back Riley Wormley, who is out for the season with a knee injury. The Dragons are averaging nearly 50 points per game and are not projected to play another ranked team this season.

5. North Crowley

Previous: No. 5
The undefeated Dallas-area squad easily handled winless Mansfield Legacy 56-0 to move to 5-0 last weekend before a bye this week. Behind a loaded offensive line with multiple Power 4 prospects, the Panthers are averaging 52.2 points per contest as they head to the back half of their schedule. That starts with a 1-4 Lake Ridge squad on Friday.

6. DeSoto

Previous: No. 6
Arguably the state’s biggest game of the regular season will go down between DeSoto and state No. 1 Duncanville is an enormous rivalry showdown on Friday. The Eagles offense has been rolling this season, but after the bye, they’ll face by far their biggest challenge to date.

7. Westlake

Previous: No. 8 (+1) 
The Chaps didn’t show any rust after the bye week, absolutely demolishing Akins 70-0 in one of their biggest margins of victory in school history. Austin and Bowie are next on the schedule before a major top-10 showdown at Lake Travis on October 25.

8. Allen

Previous: No. 9 (+1) 
Allen was on a bye this week before they face Princeton and Plano West the next two weeks — who are a combined 1-11 this season — ahead of a top-25 showdown with Prosper later this month.

9. Coppell

Previous: No. 16 (+7)
The Cowboys skyrocketed up this week’s rankings — jumping into the top 10 in the process — by beating Guyer 31-24 on the road in an upset. Now 5-0, Coppell will be favored in every game it plays the rest of the season.

10. Lake Travis

Previous: No. 10
The Cavaliers has been as impressive as anyone early in the season by moving into the top 10. Following wins over Arlington Martin, Legacy, Rockwall, and San Marcos, they rolled previously undefeated Bowie 44-6. After a bye over the weekend, they will host Del Valle on Friday night.
