LOVELADY LIONS

2018 Record: 9-3 Overall, 5-1 District

District 12-2A-II Runner Up

 

The 2018 season had the Lovelady Lions again making the playoffs, but the stay was far too short for the folks in Lovelady.  To fill the spot left empty at head coach, Lovelady named former offensive coordinator Will Kirchhoff to guide the Lions.  Kirchhoff will not be the only new face on the field as the Lions will count on four returning starters on each side of the ball.

 

Head Coach: Will Kirchholf

Offense:

Four starters return to the Lovelady offense in 2019.  Senior quarterback Seth Murray will lead the Lion offense.  The Lion rushing attack will be lead by senior Josh Martinez with back Eric Anderson also seeing carries.  Senior wide receiver Tre'Von Hawkins (2nd team all-district) and sophomore tight end Shamar Terry will figure in the Lion passing game.  Junior linemen Carter Murray (1st team all-district), Jaxson Reeves (2nd team all-district) and senior lineman Morgan Thrasher (2nd team all-district) will lead a Lion offensive line which will also feature junior Tanner Allman.

Defense:

Four starters return to the Lovelady defense in 2019.  Defensive end Preston Price will lead a defensive line which will also include Murray, Reeves, Allman, Terry and Thrasher. Senior linebacker Logan LeBlanc (1st team all-district) will be joined by Martinez and Anderson. Hawkins will anchor the Lion secondary.
