TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TOP 25 SCOREBOARD

1. Duncanville Panthers (7-0, 5-0)

SBLive/Sports Illustrated national ranking: 5

Duncanville will enter the Texas high school football game of the year undefeated. The nationally ranked Panthers (6-0, 4-0), the top ranked team in Texas, built an early lead and didn't look back in a 49-3 win over Skyline (3-4, 2-2) on Thursday in a District 11-6A matchup.

Highlights, scoring moments and more

Up next: Against No. 2 DeSoto, Oct. 27, 7 p.m.

2. DeSoto Eagles (6-0, 4-0)

This week: Against Cedar Hill, Friday, 7:00 p.m.

DeSoto continued its dominance last week with another lopsided win. The nationally ranked Eagles are in midseason form as all roads lead to an undefeated head-to-head matchup with Duncanville on October 27.

3. Galena Park North Shore Mustangs (8-0, 5-0)

SBLive/Sports Illustrated national ranking: 10
This week: Def. Humble, 38-24.

Up next: Against No. 7 Atascocita, October 27, 7 p.m.

4. Austin Westlake Chaparrals (7-0, 4-0)

SBLive/Sports Illustrated national ranking: 19
This week: At Austin, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

5. Aledo Bearcats (8-0, 5-0)

This week: Against Denton-Ryan, Friday, 7 p.m.

The Bearcat win streak lives on thanks to another shutout. Aledo has not allowed a single point since Sept. 15 — four straight shutout victories. Not only is the defense rolling for the longtime Texas powerhouse, the offense is cruising as well. Both will be put to the test Friday against another perennial Dallas powerhouse.

6. Vandegrift Vipers (7-0, 4-0)

Up next: Against Cedar Ridge, Friday, 7 p.m.

7. Atascocita Eagles (8-0, 4-0)

This week: Against Houston King, 6 p.m., Saturday

The Eagles cruised through non-district with a signature win over Katy and face another top matchup Oct. 27 against No. 3 North Shore as the win will all but determine the district champion and the seeding going into the playoffs.

8. Katy Tigers (7-1, 6-0)

This week: Against Def. Cinco Ranch, 42-13

Up next:

Against Seven Lakes, October 27, 7:15 p.m.

9. Southlake Carroll Dragons (7-0, 4-0)

This week: At Eaton, Thursday, 7 p.m

Business as usual for the Dragons last week with another dominant district win. Southlake was able to continue their undefeated season setting themselves up for a deep run into the playoffs. The addition of 2025 running back Riley Wormley into the lineup adds another dimension.

10. Melissa Cardinals (7-0, 4-0)

This week: Against Greenville, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Led by 2024 quarterback Trever Ham and 2024 edge rusher Nigel Smith, Melissa continues towards a district championship and a deep playoff run — a win Friday gets it one step closer. Much will hinge on a regular season finale on November 2 against No. 23 Lucas-Lovejoy.

11. Pharr San Juan Alamo North Raiders (7-0, 4-0)

This week: Against McAllen Memorial, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

The Raiders are the the No. 1 team in South Texas and continue each week to show why as they have not allowed a point to their opposition since Week 2. PSJA North has shown that they are not just a defensive team, but can score points in bunches rather through the air or on the ground; last week they racked up 437 yards rushing and 248 yards through the air.

12. Carthage Bulldogs (8-0, 4-0)

This week: At Center, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

13. Prosper Eagles (6-1, 4-0)

This week: At Braswell, Friday, 7 p.m.

The Eagles remain in a tie for first place in the district with Allen, and continuing to prepare for their matchup with ranked McKinney on November 2.
