Southlake Carroll, a team that kicked off the season high in the Class 6A rankings, just took a brutal 12-spot dive in Dave Campbell’s Texas High School Football Week 2 rankings. Sliding from number 6 all the way to 18, even with a 1-0 record, this kind of shake-up shows you just how intense things are getting early in the season across the state.
Class 6A Bleeds Green with New Blood and Big Falls
While Southlake Carroll took a hard hit, it wasn’t all bad news at the top of Class 6A. Waxahachie (2-0) held strong at the number one spot, proving their perfect start is no fluke, and Galena Park North Shore (2-0) locked down number two. Denton Guyer (2-0) made a serious move, climbing from 7 to 5, while Katy (2-0) jumped from 10 to 7. Fort Bend Ridge Point (2-0) also moved up, hitting number 8 from 11. But the biggest leap belonged to Cypress Ranch, launching nine spots from 18 to land at number 9 with a 2-0 record. That’s a statement! On the other side of the coin, C.E. King (1-1) also felt the pain, dropping eight spots from number 3 to 11. Three new teams crashed the Class 6A party, with Pearland (2-0), Prosper (2-0), and Willis (2-0) all making their debut from unranked straight into 22, 23, and 24 respectively. They’re making some serious noise.
Statewide Shifts: New Kings and Shocking Exits
The tremors weren’t just in Class 6A. Over in 5A Division I, Smithson Valley (1-0) seized the number one spot, forcing previous top team DeSoto right out of the rankings entirely. Talk about a power shift! Boerne Champion (2-0) also burst onto the scene in this division, going from unranked to number 6. 5A Division II saw South Oak Cliff (1-1) cling to their number one ranking, but Mansfield Timberview (2-0) and Fort Bend Crawford (2-0) made strong entrances into the top 10 from being unranked.
Even down in the smaller divisions, we saw some big moves. In 2A Division II, Bremond (2-0) rocketed from number 2 to the top spot, bumping Stratford (1-1) all the way down from 1 to 5. Ropes (1-0) jumped up a spot to number 3. This isn’t just a list, folks; these are teams fighting for every inch, making statements with every game.
What a Week 2! The new rankings have dropped, the standings are shaking, and every team now knows exactly where they stand. Next week is going to be all about these teams either proving they belong, fighting to regain their footing, or continuing to climb the ladder. Who’s going to hold steady, and who’s going to get absolutely rocked again? We’re on the edge of our seats for Week 3.
