Two years ago, Lovett was competing in Class 2A, finished 8-4 and exited in the second round of the playoffs. After the re classification cycle, the Lions moved up two classes to Class 4A and finished 7-5 but faced another second-round exit. The program has been to the playoffs every season since 2002 and since 2005, head coach Mike Muschamp has been at the helm. The brother of college coach Will Muschamp, Mike has led Lovett to a state title –2013 in Class 2A – and played for two state championships but lost in 2007. Prior to taking the Lovett job, Muschamp coached at Sa vannah Country Day from 2000-2004 and has amassed a 181-101 record in 24 seasons with three region titles and a state champion ship. However, it’s been since 2014 that Muschamp has led the Li ons past the second round, when the team lost in the quarterfinals. Last season, Lovett went 6-1 through Region 5-4A with victories over Pace Academy, McDonough, Luella and Mount Zion-Jonesboro and a loss to Stockbridge. In the playoffs, Lovett beat local rival West minster 13-6 in the first round before losing to North Oconee 35-9. The victory over Westminster avenged a 14-0 loss to the Wildcats in the first game of the season. Quarterback Preston Lusink, a 6-foot2, 190-pound senior, returns to lead the offense in front of back Kalil Townes. Luke Wallace is a 6-1, 155-pound senior who will help anchor the receiver’s stall alongside senior Dylan Mayers.
