On a similar note, Lovejoy (6-0) is finally beginning to get the recognition it deserves, with the Leopards making their debut in the rankings as they approach a decisive matchup with Argyle (5-1) this Friday. The 5A ranks continue to offer plenty of intrigue, with several unbeaten teams now entering the stretch run with little room for error.
Keeping with the trend of pivotal clashes on the horizon, Waxahachie (5-0) will host North Crowley (5-0), DeSoto (3-2) travels to Lancaster (4-1), and Lewisville (2-3*) faces a major test against Guyer (4-1).
The prime-time tests are here — and the Top 20 could be due for some chaos.
