An upset winner over previously-ranked Allen, Trinity (Euless) is up next for Ewers and the Dragons.

The Mustangs face Ridge Point (Missouri City) next with a spot in the 6A Division 1 semifinals on the line.
No. 7 Duncanville and No. 21 DeSoto both won last week, setting up a huge 6A Division 1 quarterfinal matchup Jan. 2 at Globe Life Park (Arlington).
No. 24 Highland Park (Dallas) makes its first appearance in the MaxPreps Top 25 after improving to 11-0 with a 30-20 win over Lone Star (Frisco). The Scots take on No. 9 Ryan (Denton) in the 5A Division 1 quarterfinals on Jan. 1 at Globe Life Park.
No. 3 Grayson (Loganville) is the only team in the rankings playing for a state title this week as it faces Travis Hunter and Collins Hill (Suwanee) in the 7A championship on Dec. 30. Jake Garcia and the Rams are attempting to deliver the school’s third state title and first since 2016.
