Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Dawson should expect quite the challenge on Thursday. Lovelady and Dawson go head to head at 7:30 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. The teams both seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
Their game last Friday wasn't at all kind to Dawson, but their most recent matchup may have softened the blow. They enjoyed a cozy 28-12 victory over Wortham.
Meanwhile, after a disappointing two points in their last match, Lovelady made sure to put some points up on the board against Evadale. Lovelady put the hurt on Evadale with a sharp 40-6 win. The lopsided score is just par for the course this season for Lovelady, who can brag about seven blowout wins.
Their wins bumped Lovelady to 8-2 and Dawson to 5-4. Lovelady's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against a Dawson defensive front that amassed five sacks against Wortham, so we'll see if they are up to the task.
