Arlington ISD Class 6A football teams completed a perfect Week 3, going 5-0 in their respective matchups. The collective performance highlights a strong start for the district's programs, with several teams securing decisive victories over previously undefeated or highly ranked opponents.
Allen, ranked No. 4, defeated No. 18 Southlake Carroll 56-35 at Dragon Stadium. The Eagles maintained a competitive edge for much of the first half, but a failed Hail Mary attempt by Allen at the end of the second quarter shifted momentum. Carroll, now 1-2, had started the season with a 14-0 run, indicating offensive capability despite the defensive struggles against a top-tier opponent.
Arlington Bowie, the defending district champion, rebounded from early-season losses to Rock Hill and South Grand Prairie by defeating Haltom 21-12. This victory builds momentum for the Volunteers ahead of their district opener against Arlington Lamar. Despite Aledo's long-standing dominance in District 3-6A, Bowie's experience and recent win provide a credible challenge for the title race.
Arlington Sam Houston, under new head coach Bobby Watkins III, extended their undefeated streak to 3-0. This marks a significant turnaround for the Texans, who recorded only one win in the 2025 season. Their current win total matches their combined victories from the previous four seasons, signaling a major improvement in program performance.
Arlington Martin also remained undefeated with a 38-21 victory over Crowley. The Warriors aim to return to the postseason after missing the playoffs in the last two years. They will begin their district schedule against Weatherford at Glaspie Field.
