Winning a district title is a feat in itself, but going back-to-back might be an even bigger one.
Several Dallas-area districts have not yet crowned a district champion entering the final week of the Texas high school football regular season. But just as many have, and their champions also won district titles last year.
Defending 6A Division I state champion North Crowley wrapped up its fourth consecutive district title with a win over Mansfield last week. Southlake Carroll, the state’s top-ranked 6A team, went back-to-back in District 4-6A. Five-time state champion Allen clinched its second consecutive district title, holding off Prosper 31-30 in Week 9 to distance itself from the District 6-6A pack.
West Mesquite, 7-0 in District 6-5AI, is the back-to-back district champion, and Argyle, a 5A Division II state semifinalist last season, won its fourth straight district title.

With a 38-35 win over Melissa last week, undefeated Prosper Walnut Grove repeated as the District 4-5AII champion in just its second season of UIL play. Two-time state champion South Oak Cliff, which has appeared in each of the last four 5A Division II state title games, won its sixth straight district title and has outscored its district opponents 323-0 this season.
Reigning 4A Division I state champion Celina, the state’s top-ranked 4A Division I team, secured its second consecutive District 7-4AI title.
Fort Worth All Saints, which won the TAPPS Division II state championship last season, repeated as district champion in TAPPS 1-II.
And many other schools have the chance to repeat this week, with Arlington Bowie, Duncanville, Frisco Lone Star, Highland Park and Lake Highlands being among them.
