Top 25 Texas high school football rankings 2,924 views 1:03

Not all high schools along the eastern coast were able to play scheduled weekend games because of flooding caused by tropical storm Imelda.

Katy, No. 2 in the MaxPreps Texas Top 25, was among those in the Houston area that did play. The Tigers improved to 4-0 in convincing fashion with a 49-7 rout of Clear Springs (League City). Senior Ron Hoff rushed for 60 yards and three touchdowns in the first half as Katy built a 35-7 lead.

No. 4 Allen opened District 9-6A competition with a 56-20 thumping of Plano. Senior quarterback Raylen Sharpe threw for 235 yards and drove the balanced Allen attack to four touchdowns in a 35-point first half.
It was Allen's 56th consecutive district victory, a streak that began in 2010.

Six of the top 10 teams had scheduled byes including No. 1 Duncanville and No. 3 North Shore (Houston).
Other top-10 teams posting Week 4 wins were Longview and Ryan (Denton).

9. Judson (4-0)
10. Westfield (Houston) (2-1)
The highly anticipated San Antonio-area showdown between Judson (Converse) and Steele (Cibolo) lived up to the hype. The lead changed hands twice in the final two minutes with Judson winning 51-48 on a five-yard Michael Chandler II touchdown run with 56 seconds remaining. Steele went ahead 48-44 with 1:56 remaining on De'Quavion Thomas' fourth touchdown of the night. The win was No. 500 for the Judson program.

 5A-1
1. Ryan (Denton) (3-0)
2. Shadow Creek (Pearland) (3-0)
3. Lone Star (Frisco) (3-0)
4. Highland Park (Dallas) (3-1)
5. Lufkin (2-1)
Ryan (Denton) flexed its muscle in a 63-7 rout of West Mesquite, stretching its streak of consecutive regular-season wins to 43. Ryan's last regular-season loss was in 2015. No. 4 Highland Park bounced back from last week's loss to Lone Star (Frisco) with a shutout of Bryan Adams (Dallas). 

 5A-2
1. Aledo (2-1)
2. Manvel (4-0)
3. FB Marshall (Missouri City) (3-1)
4. A&M Consolidated (College Station) (3-0)
5. Calallen (Corpus Christi) (3-0)
In a District 11 showdown that always seems to entertain, Manvel built a 38-20 lead and managed to hold off a rally by Fort Bend Marshall (Missouri City) for a 38-34 victory. Manvel improved to 4-0 and jumped ahead of Marshall in this week's ranking.

4A-1
1. Argyle (3-0)
2. Carthage  (4-0)
3. Sealy  (3-0)
4. La Vega (Waco ) (3-1)
5. Decatur  (4-0)
Of the top five teams, La Vega (Waco) accounted for last week's most lopsided result with a 61-0 road victory at Class 5A Pflugerville. Decatur is 4-0 despite allowing 133 points. The Eagles have scored 181.

4A-2
1. Pleasant Grove (Texarkana) (4-0)
2. Connally (Waco) (4-0)
3. West Orange-Stark (Orange) (2-1)
4. Greenwood (Midland) (4-0)
5. Navarro (Geronimo) (4-0)
Top-ranked Pleasant Grove (Texarkana) seems to enjoy playing on the road. Last week's 45-0 blanking of Gladewater was preceded by a 40-7 shellacking of Henderson. Navarro (Geronimo) joins the top five this week coming off a 55-22 triumph over La Grange.

3A-1

2. Malakoff (3-1)
3. C.H. Yoe (Cameron) (3-0)
4. Wall (4-0)
5. Mt. Vernon (4-0)
The showdown between No. 1 Grandview and No. 2 Malakoff — a rematch of last year's state championship game — turned out to be a thriller. Grandview won again, this time 14-13. Malakoff closed within a point in the final five minutes of an even contest with a scoring pass, but an unsportsmanlike penalty after the touchdown forced a long and unsuccessful extra-point try.

3A-2
1. Newton  (3-0)
2. Canadian  (4-0)
3. East Bernard  (4-0)
4. Crane (4-0)
5. Gunter (3-1)

1. Refugio (4-0)
2. San Saba (3-0)
3. Shiner (4-0)
4. San Augustine (3-0)

No. 1 Refugio has not allowed more than seven points in any of its four wins and hosts Mart on Friday. Holland joins the top five this week.

2A-2
1. Bremond (4-0)
2. Vega (4-0)
3. Christoval (4-0)
4. Ralls (4-0)
5. Sudan (4-0)
Ralls and Sudan debut in the top five of the division that is the most volatile in the UIL so far this season. Bremond and Vega hold steady in the top two spots and Christoval moves up one slot to third this week.
