With two weeks of Texas high school football play concluded, the Fort Worth-area rankings are starting to take shape.

Southlake Carroll and Aledo still top Class 6A and Class 5A, respectively. Both teams have gotten off to dominant starts.

North Crowley jumped Trophy Club Nelson, even though the Bobcats didn’t lose a game. The Panthers are red hot and have outscored their opponents by 111 points in two weeks.

In the Class 6A rankings, Crowley entered the top ten after a strong win against Mansfield Legacy, and Keller Timber Creek did the same with a win over Frisco Rock Hill.

In Class 5A, two teams made significant jumps after being unranked to start week two: Fort Worth North Side and Justin North West.
