In short: Lovelady Lions high school football (Lovelady, TX), 2026 season: 6-3. Last game: W 41-7 vs IOLA on October 30, 2026. Next: vs Corrigan-Camden, November 6, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The number to watch when Lovelady meets Corrigan-Camden is Lovelady's scoring. Lovelady averaged 20.5 points per game over its first 4 games (2-2), #902 in section in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that slow start (4-1), the Lions have averaged 35.8 points per game, a 75% rise, #430 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Lovelady's last 5 opponents have averaged 30.4 points per game, a #714 scoring defense in section on the season, against 22.9 points per game, #367 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (30.4 points per game), Lovelady scored 18% more than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #801 in section, well below the first 4 (#488), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Conversely, Corrigan-Camden's defense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Bulldogs have allowed 19.2 points per game over their last 5 games (4-1), #288 in section during that time. Those games came against some of the weaker offenses in section (22.5 points per game on the season, which would rank #866). Against those norms, Corrigan-Camden held those offenses 15% below what they usually score. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #801 in section, a lower level of competition. Something has to give when Lovelady's surging offense meets one of section's better units in Corrigan-Camden's. Lovelady is 6-0 this season when it scores 25 or more, and 0-3 when it doesn't.
NOTES

PPG/OPP PPG use every played game on file. YPG/PLAYS-PER-GAME columns only ever come from games with a full box score on file, which can be a smaller sample than GP -- see the coverage note below when that's the case for this team.
Averages use only games with that number on file (offense 0/9, defense 4/9, sacks/INT 0/9, sacks allowed 4/9, turnovers 4/9 games). SACKS ALW comes from the opponent's box score; TO FORCED is takeaways; TO MAR is takeaways minus giveaways, and its bottom cell is the season total. Dashes mean not on file.

Explanatory Notes
Note 1 -- SEASON OUTLOOK
Every remaining game is projected from schedule-adjusted ratings; already-played games carry their real result. Records are simulated distributions, not a single guess -- MOST LIKELY FINAL is the single most probable record and its own probability, PROJECTED RECORD is the season's expected win total expressed in record form (an average across every simulated outcome, so it can land on a fraction of a game).
Note 2 -- OPPONENT TRACKER -- why some cards have no record shown
Only meaningful for an opponent who is ALSO a tracked team in the library -- an opponent with no games on file here at all shows the date and site alone.
