What is Southlake Carroll football?
Southlake Carroll football is the varsity football program of Southlake Carroll High School in Southlake, Texas, a perennial power in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Class 6A ranks.[3][4][7] The team, known as the Dragons, has built a statewide and national reputation through sustained success, multiple deep playoff runs, and high-profile talent that regularly advances to college football.[3][4][7]
In the 2025 season, Southlake Carroll has again emerged as one of Texas’s top teams, moving through its schedule undefeated and winning by large margins against both non-district and district opponents.[3][4][7] The program’s performance this year reinforces its standing as a benchmark for excellence in Texas high school football, closely followed by fans, media, and recruiters.[3][5][7]
2025 regular season performance
The 2025 Southlake Carroll Dragons opened with a scrimmage against Arlington before beginning official play by defeating Midland 49–0, setting the tone for a dominant season.[3][5][7] They followed with a 35–7 win over Hebron and a 52–3 victory at Trophy Club Byron Nelson, signaling both offensive firepower and defensive discipline early in the campaign.[3][4][5][7]
Carroll then navigated district competition with a series of lopsided wins: 44–6 over Euless Trinity, 55–13 over Timber Creek, 63–28 over Keller, 66–7 over Eaton, 57–7 over Northwest, 49–0 over LD Bell, and 49–3 over Keller Central.[3][4][7] These results delivered an unbeaten district title and a high playoff seed, while themed home dates such as Homecoming, Pink Out, and Senior Night drew large crowds to Dragon Stadium and underscored the program’s strong community support.[2][3][6]
Playoffs and broader impact
In postseason play, Southlake Carroll extended its dominance with a 35–0 bi-district win over Crowley and a 72–7 area-round victory over San Angelo Central, continuing to pair explosive scoring with suffocating defense.[3][4] A 49–31 triumph over Prosper in the Region I semifinal and a 51–19 win over Denton Guyer further solidified the Dragons as serious Class 6A Division II title contenders.[4][7]
The Dragons’ 2025 success influences far more than their own record; it shapes statewide rankings, recruiting evaluations, and media narratives around Texas high school football.[5][7] Official district and school athletic channels promote schedules, ticket information, and live coverage, helping drive high engagement from fans in Southlake and beyond, while state and national outlets track Carroll’s results as a key measure of the strength of Texas high school competition.[3][5][6][7]
