Texas High School Football Top 25 Rankings – Dec. 2

The Texas high school football’s UIL postseason are just a couple weeks away from reaching AT&T Stadium as teams are in the region semifinal round before the state’s Final Four.

The Southlake Carroll Dragons remain the state’s No. 1 after defeating No. 14 ranked Prosper, 49-31, and look well on their way to winning a ninth state championship as they have won three consecutive playoff games. So which other Lone Star State high school football programs made a move up the most latest set of Top 25 rankings?

The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.

Here is the latest Texas high school football Top 25 rankings, according to Massey as of Dec. 2.

1. Southlake Carroll Dragons

Southlake Carroll (13-0) have proven on a weekly basis their dominance and last week was another example in a 49-31 win over No. 14 ranked Prosper. 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.

The Dragons have out-scored their three playoff opponents by a combined score of 156-38. Riley Dodge’s bunch showed no signs of slowing down as they head into the fourth round of the Class 6A, Division II postseason.

With one of the top high-powered offenses in the country, Southlake Carroll looks to win a fourth straight postseason game when they take on No. 13 ranked Guyer.

2. Allen Eagles

The five-time UIL state champion Allen Eagles (13-0) had opened up the Class 6A, Division I playoffs when they just edged out No. 25 ranked Lewisville, 22-15 in the opening round, but since then have looked more like their dominant selves. The Eagles cruised to a 56-13 rout of Permian last week as they displayed why they could be the state’s best team when it’s all said and done.

The Eagles dominated the first half stretch of games as they opened with a 46-13 victory over Midland Legacy, breezed by Cedar Hill, 38-0 and then thumped Rock Hill in a 70-14 rout before cruising past Plano in a 55-0 romp. Allen then rolled to a 62-14 victory over Princeton before thrashing Plano West, 55-7, and McKinney Boyd.

Senior quarterback Jeremiah Daoud has been playing very well behind center, throwing for 2,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and just three interceptions this season.

3. Aledo Bearcats

The Aledo Bearcats (12-0) have been dominant over the last six games, beating Arlington Heights, Azle, Denton, Granbury, Richland, Tascosa and Saginaw by a combined score of 458-22.

Despite last year’s starter Gavin Beard transferring to All Saints Episcopal, which opened the door for Nash McElree to emerge as the team’s QB1, and the Bearcats have looked just fine in the second half of play.

Aledo has simply taken care of business week after week, starting against a solid Lancaster squad, coming away with the 18-0 win then dispatching Brewer, 54-7, as they’ve rolled their way to an undefeated regular season and now winning two playoff games. Next up is a showdown with No. 19 Ryan (13-1) in the Class 5A, Division I semifinals.

4. Duncanville Panthers

Duncanville (10-1) is beginning to really look like a team that can win it all.

The Panthers have shown zero signs of slowing down in last week’s Class 6A, Division I playoffs as they rolled to a 34-7 victory Klein Collins (11-2). Now Duncanville will look to avenge its lone loss of the season this week when they take on No. 8 Waxahachie on Friday night.

Duncanville continues to be considered a state title contender in the UIL’s Class 6A, Division I classification. Other key players this fall to watch for from the Panthers are four-star edge rushers Kevin Ford (Florida commit) and Landon Barnes (Ole Miss commit), wide receiver Trenton Yancey and cornerback Braylon Edwards (SMU commit).

Quarterback Jcoryon Rivers has seen the bulk of the snaps lately, throwing for nearly 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns this season.

5. North Crowley Panthers

North Crowley (12-1) continues to click on all cylinders, as they have out-scored their last six opponents by a combined 387-109. The Panthers are winners of nine consecutive games after a 46-21 win over Coppell last week.

Now North Crowley will be tested to their fullest this week in the state’s marquee game when they take on No. 2 Allen.

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.

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 Texas Tech commit Aaron Bradshaw, three-star safety Elijajuan Houston, four-star cornerback Jerry Outhouse and Colorado State commit Thomas Cook.
