Todd Dodge won seven Texas high school football championships as coach of Southlake Carroll and later Austin Westlake. Dodge retired after his last championship in 2021, but three years later he “got the itch” to return and settled on the Lovejoy Leopards. The team has flirted with greatness, featuring past stars like Daylan McCutcheon now at The University of Texas at Austin, Parker Livingstone now at The University of Oklahoma, and Payton Piece now a team captain at The Ohio State University. But Lovejoy has never advanced beyond the regional round of the playoffs. Dodge is relying on hard work, including demanding 5:30am practices, to again reach the championship level.
