State powers from Texas and Ohio make an appearance in this week's Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard.
Southlake Carroll, whose only loss this season is to Allen, checks in at No. 24. The Dragons captured the 2011 state title, the eighth in program history, and lost in the regional final to DeSoto in 2012.
Also making an appearance is Archbishop Moeller. Moeller has victories over Trinity, St. Xavier (Cincinnati) and Elder, losing only to St. Edward.
The rankings figure to get shaken up in the next few weeks as playoffs get underway in most states.
