After plotting all the schools still participating in the Texas high school football playoffs from Class 6A to 2A on a map, one county stands above the rest.



With six schools heading to a regional final, Denton County has the most teams left in the playoffs.

The next closest counties are Fort Bend, McLennan, Tarrant and Travis with three schools still in the running.

Locally, Dallas and Collin have two teams in the playoffs while Rockwall (1) rounds out the area schools.

"I think there's a good brand of football in this region, I've always thought that," Argyle coach Todd Rodgers said. "It's fun to be part of a hotbed region."

Said Lake Dallas coach Michael Young: "This isn't really something new. Denton County has, for the last 10 years or so, produced a number of strong teams that make deep pushes in the playoffs."

Some of the schools are easily identified as Denton County schools, such as Denton Guyer and Denton Ryan.

Argyle, Lake Dallas and Krum don't have Denton in their titles, but it's still common knowledge that they reside in that county.

The final school is Frisco Lone Star, which tows the line west of the Dallas Tollway that places it just inside of Denton County.
