If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Lovejoy. They will challenge Sulphur Springs on the road at 7:30 PM on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one : both teams put up some lofty point totals in their previous games, so things might heat up even more when they meet up.
Lovejoy strolled past Heritage with points to spare last Saturday, taking the contest 42-26.
Meanwhile, Sulphur Springs had to kick off their season on the road, but they showed no ill effects. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Wakeland 37-35. The tight race was right in line with the MaxPreps state rankings' forecast.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. In their victory, Sulphur Springs relied heavily on senior D'Corian Young, who picked up 83 yards on the ground and accumulated 203 passing yards; a key strategy for Lovejoy will lie in finding a way to minimize his impact.
