Lovejoy goes for title #8 against Fulshear in the 5A UIL State volleyball finals
Last season, Lovejoy finished the season with a state title and a 48-5 record. On Saturday, Lucas Lovejoy will have the opportunity to extend its Dallas-area record for most state titles as the Leopards go for their 8th title in 13 years. With 10 seniors - all of whom are committed to play either indoor or beach volleyball in college - Lovejoy is ready to take on Lamar Fulshear in the 2020 state title game. With a six-game win streak, the Chargers advanced to the state title match after sweeping Dripping Springs in the semifinal game on Tuesday. Lucas Lovejoy and Lamar Fulshear are set to take the court at noon at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland.

"They are just the ultimate volleyball team when you think of 5A volleyball.
UIL Volleyball 5A-II Regional Finals Preview: Can McKinney North dethrone Lovejoy?
The reigning state champions Lucas Lovejoy Leopards (23-0, 14-0) are set to take on the McKinney North Bulldogs (23-3, 12-2) in the UIL Class 5A Volleyball State Championship Regional Finals on Thursday, December 3, 2020. Fans can expect them to come out as consistent as ever against McKinney North. McKinney North is continuing to prove to their fans just why they need to be fans. McKinney North is coming off of a 3-0 sweep over North Forney in the Regional Semifinal round of Texas high school volleyball playoffs. Although it's possible that we will see Lovejoy push into the state semifinals, it just might be too early to completely count out determined McKinney North.
