In the state of Texas, Week 5 of the high school football season has concluded, and the excitement continues to build as we head into Week 6. This past weekend brought a lot of chalk in the statewide top 25, with every team ranked in the power rankings from Scorebook Live that played winning their games on both Thursday and Friday. As a result, the top 25 teams remain unchanged, although the bubble teams are loaded with potential, hinting at possible shakeups soon.
No. 1 Duncanville and No. 4 DeSoto have a bye week, preparing for their much-anticipated showdown on October 11. In action this Friday at 7 p.m., No. 8 Summer Creek will host No. 6 Atascocita in what has been dubbed the game of the week, while No. 11 Ryan travels to face No. 14 Aledo.
During the previous games, top-ranked Duncanville continued its dominance, with quarterback Keelon Russell throwing for six touchdowns against Skyline, showcasing a relentless offense.
