If Grants Pass wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Sprague, they should've done a better job of containing Carter Lovell. The Olympians walked away with a 32-21 win over the Cavemen on Friday for which the team can thank Lovell, who threw for 299 yards and three TDs on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 91 yards and one touchdown on only eight carries. His passing game has become a key predictor of Sprague's success: the team is 2-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 2-3 otherwise.
Sprague's leading receiver Max Makarenko was Lovell's top target yet again, picking up 175 receiving yards and one score. Makarenko's longest reception was for an incredible 70 yards.
