The Lovejoy Leopards started varsity football in 2008. The district is made up of kids from far East Allen, Fairview, and Lucas. Up until the high school opened, all these kids attended Allen schools, and they get their youth coaching from the Allen Sports Association. In '08 they went 5-6. In their 2nd year 2009, they went 12-2 and lost in the state 3A semi-finals. This year, they headed to the playoffs at 9-1, ranked 5th in the state. This week they shocked proud Celina 17-0 and did it with a backup QB. With Argyle in 3A Div II, it looks as though Lovejoy has a very strong shot at winning state in their 3rd varsity year. The head coach graduated from Plano Sr. High in 1977 and coached at Allen for 13 years. I've heard that their enrollment will likely put them in 4A either in 2012 or certainly in 2014.
