Mike Says: The Leopards will have a tough time duplicating their success over the last couple of years while they were in 3A. This years team will feature a strong running game led by RB LaSane and a good group of linebackers on defense. Look for them to go 5-5 or 4-6 in the regular season. They will need at least one more win to be in the running for that 4th playoff spot.

Chris Says: Lucas Lovejoy had some great success in their four years of football. The Leopards love their football, but this offseason, they went from the largest team in their district to the smallest - thanks to the move up to Class 4A. The Leopards also graduated a lot of their experienced players and begin this year with a brand new head coach, Matt Green. For those reasons, don't expect LL to be a factor in the district championship run but if Green can get these Leopards on the same page early, playoffs are not out of the question.
