Lake View Trails Lubbock High by Ten at the Half

LUBBOCK, TX — The Lake View Chiefs traveled to Lubbock on Friday with the hopes of beginning 2026 3-0 against Lubbock High on Friday. The Westerners stuffed the Chiefs for most of the first half, holding Lake View to under 100 total yards on offense through the first two quarters as Lubbock High held a 10-point lead at the break, 17-7.

Lubbock High scored first on a 32-yard field goal after a Chiefs' fumble midway through the 1st quarter. After another Lake View punt, the Chiefs' defense committed their lone mistake so far on an explosive 62-yard touchdown pass. Up 10-0, Lubbock High added another score on a quarterback keeper inside the 5-yard line after a long march that ate up much of the 2nd quarter.

The Chiefs finally answered with two minutes to play in the half. After marching the ball down the field, quarterback Chris Alvizo found Calvin Whitfield over the middle for a 16-yard touchdown to put Lake View on the board.

Lake View's Connor Williams stepped up just before the buzzer to keep more Lubbock High points off the board when he sacked the quarterback on a key 3rd down with less than ten seconds to play. The sack made the subsequent field goal attempt a difficult one, and the Westerners missed it to keep the score at 17-7.

Lake View headed to the locker room down ten, but still very much in this ballgame. The Westerners will receive the 2nd-half kickoff.
