Cypress Falls and Deer Park officially stormed into the Class 6A state rankings, completely flipping the script on Week 5 action. These aren’t just a couple of new names; Cypress Falls rolls in at No. 22 with an undefeated 3-0 record, and Deer Park clocks in at No. 24, also perfect at 4-0. The latest high school rankings from Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, distributed by the Associated Press, show some serious shifts, proving nobody’s spot is safe.
Deer Park’s Dominance and New Contenders
Deer Park’s got that perfect 4-0 start, making a serious statement. They blew out Clear Brook 54-7, showing exactly why they earned that spot in the top 25. You can bet wide receiver John Arthur-French, rocking the No. 9 jersey, is a huge part of that. The dude and his teammates are on fire right now, and the league is definitely noticing. Meanwhile, Cypress Falls, also undefeated at 3-0, didn’t even have to play this week to jump into the rankings at No. 22. When you’re racking up wins like that, a bye week can still feel like a step forward.
Shakes and Surprises in the 6A Scene
Up at the very top, Waxahachie remains the undisputed king at No. 1, also 4-0, after a massive 63-27 victory against Mansfield Lake Ridge. North Shore, North Crowley, and Allen are still holding strong in the top tier, all undefeated at 4-0. Allen even handed Prosper a tough 51-21 loss, which sent Prosper tumbling from No. 18 down to No. 23. But it wasn’t all about falling down a few spots for everyone. We saw Lake Travis, who was No. 12, along with No. 23 Duncanville, drop out of the Class 6A rankings completely this week. That’s a shake-up, for real, and it opens the door for new blood like Cypress Falls and Deer Park to make their mark.
What’s next for these teams? Every single game matters. Cypress Falls and Deer Park have crashed the party, and their undefeated records mean they’re not just happy to be there. They’re looking to climb even higher. The established powerhouses like Waxahachie better keep their eyes open, because upsets are happening. Week 5 just shook things up, and the rest of the season in Texas 6A is going to be wild.
