Texas high school football season featured some marquee showdowns this weekend. The Week 2 schedule featured blockbuster games and also some equally notable final scores. Below are the top 25 Texas high school football teams, according to the Massey Ratings, as of Sept. 6.
If the last two weekends proved anything, it's that Allen is back. Behind standout performances from 2029 QB Ty Snell and the entire Eagles defense, Allen has knocked off powerhouses Duncanville and DeSoto to open the season, 50-6. Snell passed for four TD on seven attempts, three of those scores going to fellow 2029 WR Zach Williams. Allen held a 28-0 lead at halftime with the defense setting a strong pace in this one.
North Crowley earned another statement victory in the early season — a 40-10 win over fellow Dallas Metroplex powerhouse Southlake Carroll. After the Dragons took a 7-6 lead early, the Panthers scored 21 unanswered points and cruised in the second half. North Texas commit G'Yrell Smith rushed for 96 yards on 11 touches, and QBs Jacob Torres and Jahzeel McCradic combined for two TD passes.
The defending state champs did not miss a beat in a physical tilt vs. Louisiana powerhouse John Curtis. The Mustangs came away with 27-17 win on the road at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium in Lafayette — after adding two fourth-quarter scores and separating late in the contest. QB Kaleb Taylor threw a TD pass to Jaden Kendrick and Jemarkeus Houston ran for a 14-yard TD to deliver North Shore the impressiveo out-of-state win.
Guyer remained unbeaten on Friday night as the Wildcats notched their 200th program win. The outstanding Guyer defense featuring arguably the state's most talented group of defensive linemen (Zane Rowe (Oregon); Khyren Haywood (Texas Tech); Darrien Neal (TCU); Logan Lokey (2028) held Melissa to less than 100 yards of total offense. First-year starting QB Carter Morgan was terrific — finishing 21-of-29 for 237 yards with a pass TD and a rush TD.

Utah picked right back up where it left off last season, delivering a dominating performance on the ground in a 66-14 win against FCS opponent Idaho Thursday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
The Utes set school records in rushing yards (3,462) and rushing touchdowns (41) behind a dominant offensive line in 2025, and they started 2026 at the same pace.
Wayshawn Parker led the way on the ground for Utah, rushing for 71 yards and a touchdown on 12 attempts while hauling in three passes for 23 yards and two touchdowns.
The three-touchdown night was a career high for the junior running back and served as a glimpse of what he can do as the undisputed lead back this year.

A.J. Cavotta will cap a standout golf year with an autumn trip to Florida.
A teaching pro at Anders Mattson Golf in Saratoga Springs, Cavotta grabbed Northeastern New York's PGA berth into the 50th **** istant PGA Professional Championship, shooting a 3-under-par 139 over 36 holes Monday at Mohawk to win the section's **** istants Championship.
Cavotta, 24, the 2019 Times Union boys' golf Athlete of the Year from Saratoga Springs, was in a three-way tie with Nolan Crowley, who also works at Mattson's studio, and Nick Frankl of Albany. A bogey-free second round of 5-under 66 gave Cavotta a five-stroke victory over Crowley, the 2018 TU boys' golf Athlete of the Year who also played at Saratoga.
The victory punched Cavotta's ticket to Port St. Lucie, Fla., where the Wanamaker Course at the PGA Golf Club will play host to the national **** istants championship Nov. 12-15, and adds to a 2026 season in which he:
• earned $40,000 by winning the Next Golf Tour Championship, a worldwide circuit played on golf simulators (February)
• finished fourth in the Massachusetts Open, taking home $4,500 (June)
• captured the $2,000 top prize at the Donald Ross Classic at Glens Falls, his first major victory in the NENYPGA (June)
• placed second in the New York Open, losing in a playoff, at Bethpage Black, winning $11,000 (July)
• took sixth in the Canada Cup at Victoriaville, Quebec, worth $4,900 (August)
• was selected as the NENYPGA's **** istant Professional of the Year (August)
Scotia native Laura Diaz, now living in Winston-Salem, N.C., tied for seventh in the U.S. Senior Women's Open in Ann Arbor, Mich., 10 shots behind winner Maria McBride of Sweden. Diaz, 51, hit all 14 fairways in three of her four rounds. She tied for 15th last season in her first year of eligibility. … Samantha Schuffenecker has been named the new women's golf coach at Union.

LONDON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - British artificial intelligence company Quantexa is considering a multibillion-dollar stock market listing in Britain or the United States, its chief executive told Reuters.
"We can list in the UK or the U.S., or both," Vishal Marria said, adding that the company has not decided when to pursue a public offering and could remain privately held.
A U.S. listing would deal a further blow to London's stock market, which has seen a string of companies opt for U.S. exchanges. Marria said the U.S. offers a deeper pool of capital and the potential for a higher valuation than the UK.
Marria said Quantexa has been "IPO-ready" since January but declined to comment on the timing of any IPO.

The Florida State Seminoles are taking their search for talent in the 2028 recruiting cycle to the state of Texas. On Friday, four-star wide receiver Damarion Mays announced his offer from the Seminoles.
"#AGTG blessed to have received an offer from Florida State," Mays said on social media.
He is ranked as the nation's No. 111 overall recruit and the No. 16 wide receiver in 247Sports composite rankings. He's listed as the No. 12 prospect in the state of Texas as well.
Mays made his name known as a freshman at Life Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, Texas. He registered 68 receptions for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging an amazing 24.1 yards per catch. Plus, he added 164 kickoff return yards. As a sophomore, Mays played at North Crowley High School in Fort Worth, Texas. He had another very productive season with 54 receptions for 843 yards and 11 scores. He averaged 15.6 yards per catch.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder has garnered around 40 scholarship offers due to his performance in his first two years of high school, which will make FSU's pursuit of him a challenging one. Mays also has offers from the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Miami Hurricanes, Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oklahoma Sooners, Ole Miss Rebels, and more.

The midterm primary rush continues on Tuesday as voters in six states choose their parties' candidates in pivotal races that could decide control of Congress.
Most eyes will be on South Carolina, where Republicans are holding a special Senate primary to choose a new nominee following the sudden death of longtime incumbent Lindsey Graham in July. His sister, Darline Graham, was chosen by South Carolina's governor to fill her brother's seat until January. She announced a week later that she would run for a full six-year term.
Republicans aren't clearing the way for her nomination, though. Nine other candidates have jumped into the race, including GOP Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry, and former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. Polls have shown Graham and Norman ahead of the field, but both are well short of the 50% support they'd need to avoid a runoff. If no one receives at least half the vote, the top two finishers will go to a runoff on Aug. 25.
In Wisconsin, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has chosen not to seek another term, setting off a messy battle between the progressive and moderate wings of the party over who should be their nominee to replace him. Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist state lawmaker, has held a consistent lead throughout the primary. But Evers has said he believes Hong may be too far to the left to defeat the likely Republican nominee, Rep. Tom Tiffany, in the general election. Instead, the governor has thrown his support behind Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who had briefly dropped out of the race before resuming his campaign with less than a month left in the primary. Polls suggest Crowley has an enormous amount of ground to make up if he wants to pull off a surprising victory.

A vineyard is planning to harvest its grapes early because of recent hot and dry conditions, bosses have said.
Jersey recorded its warmest month in June, with some areas reaching above 30C (86F), and managing director of La Mare Vineyards Tim Crowley said it had been about two-and-a-half months without "meaningful rain".
He said its grapes would need to be harvested in August for the "first time ever".
The vineyard has not been the only place having to adapt to the warmer conditions, as football pitches and trees had also been impacted, according to sports and leaders and charity staff.

Five-star 2027 cornerback recruit John Meredith is re-classifying and enrolling early at the University of Texas. UT coach Steve Sarkisian announced the 6-foot-2, 190-pound DB will become a 2026 signee and will play this fall when he's ready.
At this end of his opening statement, Sarkisian added, "One addition for us, John Meredith will be an early enrollee for us. He's reclassified. He'll be with the team this fall. He's a great player for us at DB that we couldn't be more excited to have on board this us."
Meredith was the biggest June commitment across college football. The move mainly stems from Meredith being ruled ineligible by the University Interscholastic League after transferring to North Crowley from Euless Trinity. Due to the UIL ruling, Meredith had only a few options. He could have transferred out of state to play football or sit out a year.
Meredith is the highest ranked defensive back commitment in Texas football recruiting history. Which is saying something considering three former Longhorns have won the Thorpe Award as the country's best DB.
When will he be ready? Sark says he will be coached and developed and when he's read to play, he will.

A major Texas Longhorns recruit is suiting up to play for them a year early. Five-star cornerback John Meredith is reclassifying from 2027 to 2026, head coach Steve Sarkisian said at SEC Media Days. That means he will be playing for next season's Longhorns.
"I'm more than ready. Looking forward to getting to campus and am ready to compete," Meredith said to Hayes Fawcett of On3. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound corner is ranked as the No. 2 corner and No. 12 prospect in the nation.
Part of this comes from his high school status. He tried transferring from Euless Trinity to North Crowley, but the District 11-6A executive committee ruled him ineligible to play his senior season. The ruling allows him to play a season early.
The Longhorns are expected to start a relatively young secondary after corner Jahdae Barron was drafted in the first round. Sophomores Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips are expected to take big roles in the secondary, and Brad Spencer and Jelani McDonald are the only seniors in the secondary.
It makes all the sense for Meredith, who could have NFL potential, and he gets to train with a Texas staff that just developed Barron. "He provides great length, great speed, tremendous man-to-man ability," Sarkisian said at SEC Media Days. "Very confident, very aggressive. All the attributes you want in a defensive back… It's not a secret why he was a top two or three player in the country in the 2027 class. We'll see how far we can take him."

A prized member of Texas' 2027 recruiting class will be joining the Longhorns this summer.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed Thursday at SEC media days that cornerback John Meredith III had reclassified and would be a part of Texas' team in 2026. Meredith, who recently turned 18, was a five-star recruit in the class of 2027 but had been ruled ineligible to play his senior season this fall.
Meredith is now the No. 4 cornerback recruit in the class of 2026, according to Rivals, as well as the No. 4 recruit in the state of Texas. The Fort Worth native has an estimated NIL value of $1.5 million and is one of two top-five in-state recruits joining the team this fall. Defensive lineman Jamarion Carlton, the No. 5 prospect in Texas, had been the Longhorns' best in-state recruit in the class.
Carlton went to North Crowley High School before joining the Longhorns. Meredith transferred from Trinity to North Crowley in the spring, but the University Interscholastic League, the entity that governs high school sports in the state, ruled that Meredith had transferred for athletic reasons.
That decision made Meredith ineligible for the upcoming season. He appealed, but the decision was upheld earlier in July.

TAMPA, Fla. – Steve Sarkisian broke some news Thursday at the SEC's media days when he announced that blue-chip defensive back recruit John Meredith reclassified from the 2027 class to 2026 and will join Texas football for the upcoming football season.
Meredith, a 6-foot-2, 188-pound cornerback, was ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in the nation for 2027, per 247 Sports. He played last season at Trinity High School in the Fort Worth suburbs but tried to transfer to defending state champion North Crowley in the offseason. Earlier this month, the UIL declared Meredith ineligible at North Crowley but said he could play at Trinity.

As head coach Steve Sarkisian took the stage in Tampa at SEC Media Days, focus shifted to a massive addition to the 2026 roster as consensus five-star cornerback John Meredith reclassified to the 2026 recruiting class and signed with the Texas Longhorns, the school announced on Thursday.
The decision by the 6'2.5, 187-pounder comes a little more than a month after he committed to Texas over Alabama and Texas A&M, but a more important development happened this month when the UIL denied Meredith's eligibility appeal.
After Meredith's mother got married last fall, they moved in with his stepfather as the talented cornerback switched schools from Euless Trinity to North Crowley, a decision that was ultimately deemed an athletic move by Euless Trinity and upheld by the UIL.
And although initially speculation centered around Meredith spending his senior season at IMG Academy in Florida, he was able to complete enough credits to reclassify and enroll at Texas for the 2026 season.
Previously ranked as the No. 3 player nationally and the No. 1 cornerback, Meredith will step into a deep and talented cornerback room on the Forty Acres coached by Mark Orphey.

St Helens head coach Paul Rowley has stepped down from his position with the Super League club with immediate effect less than a year into the role.
The 51-year-old joined the club before the 2026 season, having previously taken charge at Salford Red Devils, ending his tenure there after their financially-challenged 2025 campaign.
Since joining Saints, however, the club have struggled for form and, with an injury crisis, are currently sixth in the table and six points behind leaders Leeds Rhinos.
They have also lost six of their past 10 games in all competitions with Rowley's departure announced prior to Friday's derby against Wigan Warriors.

Former Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray believes Ciaran Frawley will be frustrated after Saturday's 36-20 win over ***** an in the Nations Championship.
With Sam Prendergast rested following last week's win over Australia and Jack Crowley injured, Frawley was handed a first start in the fly-half jersey for Ireland.
On his 14th cap, the versatile Frawley - who has left Leinster for Connacht - struggled to dictate the game against a ***** an side that threatened to upset Ireland and missed a straightforward conversion attempt in the first half.
Head coach Andy Farrell had made nine changes from the narrow win over Australia, and the performance was littered with penalties as the Irish set-piece struggled to provide a platform in Newcastle.
Murray describes Frawley as "a brilliant player", but felt the 28-year-old struggled to impact the game as he might have hoped as Ireland's forward pack struggle at line-out and scrum.

NFL insider confirms massive Aaron Rodgers rumor is real
On Thursday morning, a wild rumor dropped that Aaron Rodgers, on a whim, would be flying to Pittsburgh with the full intention of inking a contract and suiting up for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026. This was met with speculation, as Rodgers wasn't with the team ahead of the NFL Draft, and the team's OTAs don't start until May 18.
But a notable NFL insider just confirmed Adam Crowley's original report.
Just hours after the Rodgers rumor surfaced, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reiterated a similar report. The notable insider took to X with the following message for football fans.
"[Free Agent] QB Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to visit the Steelers Friday and this weekend, will likely play for them in 2026, sources say. A deal is not done & there is always caution until things are signed. But Rodgers' plan is to play for PIT & these are steps toward that end."
We don't know if Crowley and Rapoport have the same sources, but Rapoport is one of the most respected insiders in the business.
