You can't discuss Texas high school football without beginning with Allen. The Dallas-area behemoth boasts five state titles. They did it with a not-to-be-forgotten three-year stretch from 2012 through 2014, during which they racked up 43 consecutive victories. The Eagles also had a state-record 84-game regular-season winning streak from 2012 to 2021. With their $60 million, 18,000-seat Eagle Stadium, Allen isn't merely winning on the field —they're doing it in style.
Welcome to "Dragon Nation." Southlake Carroll is another powerhouse from North Texas with eight state championships to its credit. The program was dominant in the early 2000s, taking three consecutive titles from 2004 to 2006. And with that, compiling a 79–1 record over that four-year period. It's where former NFL MVP Drew Brees once suited up before transferring to Austin Westlake. And that's where Riley Dodge, son of coaching great Todd Dodge, is now the head coach.
Down in the Austin suburbs, Lake Travis has gone under the radar and formed a contemporary dynasty. Their résumé consists of six state championships and a historic five-peat from 2007 to 2011. Better yet?
One word: tradition. Based in Dallas, Highland Park is one of the oldest and most storied programs in Texas high school football. And with six state titles and over 800 all-time victories. The Scots are led by Randy Allen, one of the winningest coaches in Texas history.
Katy football is the ultimate in grit. With nine state titles, most recently in 2020, Katy has been a blue-collar, physical football symbol for a long time. They don't play around — it's run the ball, defend, and wear teams down.
