The Lovell-Big Horn game should be a dandy! The weather will certainly be a factor & turnovers will determine the outcome. The turf field should provide a “level playing field” for both teams & the home field advantage could also be a factor. The team that capitalizes on turnovers, limits penalties & plays consistent for four quarters will be the winner. With Lovell winning the season opener should give the 6-2 Bulldogs some confidence. It all starts in the trenches & whoever controls the lines of scrimmage will have a definite advantage. Go, Bulldogs!!
