Can you believe week eight of Texas high school football is on the horizon?

Fort Worth-area teams have limited opportunities to make an impact, and district standings are starting to take shape. Which teams made moves in week seven?

The undefeated Crowley Eagles soared up to the No. 4 spot in Class 6A while the Keller Indians fell a spot after being blown out at home by the No. 1 Class 6A team, the Southlake Carroll Dragons.

Two District 8-6A teams entered the rankings: Arlington Martin and Arlington Bowie. Both squads are undefeated in district play and have showcased steady improvement.

Burleson Centennial is no longer undefeated after a loss to Denton Ryan. As a result, the Spartans dropped a spot in the Class 5A rankings.
