Wylie East escaped last Friday with a 32-31 come-from-behind triumph at Prosper.

While the Raiders may have survived by the skin of their teeth, the victory counts just as much in the win column as a 30-point rout.

More importantly, it improved East’s record to 3-0 in District 10-5A and tied them with Lovejoy for first place. That’s a team the Raiders have never defeated, and one which they’ll host 7:30 p.m. Friday at Wylie Stadium for Homecoming.

“Being 4-0 is the only thing we’re focused on,” head coach Joe Lepsis said. “We’ve got the chance to be 4-0 in the district. That’s really all we’re going to focus on this week.”
