On Friday night, Amarillo High traveled to San Angelo Central and didn’t just come away with a win—they made a statement. The Sandies rolled to a 41-21 victory, improving to 2-0 on the season and showing early signs that this team could be something special.
The formula for their success has been straightforward: a high-powered offense led by senior quarterback Jett Lopez. For the second week in a row, Lopez threw for over 300 yards, connecting on multiple touchdowns and demonstrating why he’s such a vital piece of the team’s puzzle. His poise in the pocket and ability to read defenses has kept Amarillo High consistently ahead of the competition.
Lopez’s favorite targets, Austin Sluder and Oliver Parsons, have been nearly unstoppable. The duo combined for more than 250 receiving yards and three touchdowns, giving the Sandies a dynamic passing game that opposing defenses struggle to contain. Meanwhile, running back Jude Dunavin has proven that Amarillo High isn’t one-dimensional, rushing for 181 yards and keeping the ground game equally threatening.
What’s most encouraging for fans is the balance this team displays. They can win through the air or on the ground, making it difficult for opponents to predict their next move. Early-season performances like this suggest the Sandies are firing on all cylinders and could make a deep run this year.
While it’s still early, Amarillo High is clearly building momentum. With a quarterback in Lopez who can command the offense, talented playmakers like Sluder, Parsons, and Dunavin, and a team that can perform on the road, the season ahead looks promising. If Friday night is any indication, Amarillo High isn’t just winning games—they’re sending a message: they’re a team to watch.
