When the ball kicks off Friday at Shelton Stadium, the Lehman Lobos will have gone 721 days since they last tasted victory. Perhaps it’s coincidence that their opponent Friday, the Akins Eagles, is the same team the Lobos played when they last won a game on Sept. 19, 2014. Fate could smile on the Lobos, which will attempt to top an Akins team that’s won two straight. But can the Lobos stay healthy, while also getting back some of their big playmakers? Meanwhile, Hays, coming off a loss to Georgetown, will travel to the western part of Hays County to take on a red-hot Dripping Springs ball club. According to Dripping Springs officials, the matchup marks the first time since the 1970s the two programs have met. However long it’s been, Hays will look to avoid a sub .500 record after the first three games for a third straight season. Across the district, the Sam Ehlinger-less Westlake Chaparrals look to avoid their first 1-2 start since 2012, while Lakeway compatriots Lake Travis travel to play Dallas Jesuit. Perhaps no one has fought as hard and has come away with little results as Vandegrift, which has dropped its first two games (against heavyweights Permian and Cedar Park) by a meager 14 points combined. Vipers get the Killeen Kangaroos in what will surely be the best mascot battle of the weekend.
