SAN ANGELO, TX — The Lake View Chiefs scored 28 points in the first quarter, igniting a huge night for their offense in a 55-42 win over Lamesa on Friday at San Angelo Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Chris Alvizo was 21-of-30 passing for 337 yards, and he threw five touchdown passes to five different receivers in the first half as Lake View took a 42-28 lead into halftime.
Sammy Ramirez had a pair of TD runs in the second half, including one with about seven minutes remaining to help put the game away after Lamesa had pulled within 49-42.
The win snapped an 11-game losing streak and continued an impressive showing for Lake View's offense, which is averaging 39 points per game after three weeks.
