PREVIEW: Lewisville Farmers ready to fight
The Lewisville Fighting Farmers are ranked in this season's top 10 on the VYPE DFW 6A Preseason Football Rankings after a successful season last year. As they prepare to open up their 2023-24 season, what can fans expect from Lewisville?
REWIND
Last season, the Farmers posted an incredible 12-2 overall record (7-0 in district play). Opening their year with a 28-6 victory over Garland Naaman Forest, the team was off to a hot start right out of the gate. Posting another 44-7 victory over Mesquite to close out their non-district schedule (after a loss to Highland Park), the team was more than ready for district play.
Finishing at the top of their district with victories over Flower Mound (28-21), Coppell (38-3), Plano West (15-14), Flower Mound Marcus (17-14), and more, the team was able to head into playoffs unscathed and ready for more competition. Once in playoffs, the Farmers posted impressive victories over Allen (41-18), Arlington Martin (10-0) and Keller (43-3) before eventually falling to Prosper in a hard-fought 24-13 battle.
LOOKING AHEAD
The team is prepared to continue building off of the success from last season as they head into a new year. With athletes like Keshawn Ford, Jaydan Handy, Zephen Walker, Tye Miller, D'Angelo King, Tony-Louis Nkuba, and more, the team can be expected to have a strong start to the season against their non-district opponents before diving into district play in September.
Lewisville is scheduled to open their season on Friday, August 25th against Garland Naaman Forest and fans can expect them to play hard from the start. Be sure you catch this team in action this season!

Heim: Finish in the Top 4 and get to Gold Ball Season!
VYPE: What one piece of advice has someone given you that you have implemented into your every day coaching life?
