Lake View Falls to No. 9 Decatur in Bi-District Round

MINERAL WELLS, TX — The Lake View Chiefs saw their season come to an end at the hands of the No. 9 Decatur Eagles in Mineral Wells on Friday night. With an overwhelming offensive attack and a smothering defense from Decatur, the Chiefs fell 48-7.

"They were very good," Lake View head coach Hector Guevara said. "They were talented in all three phases of the game. Decatur made very few mistakes. We made some, and obviously they are No. 9 in the state for a reason."

Decatur opened the contest with a scoring barrage in the first quarter, scoring 21 points. The Eagles' quarterback, Wyatt Dunn, showed off his arm talent early, connecting on multiple touchdowns.

On offense, the Chiefs tried to fight back, but struggled to earn first downs in the opening frame.

The Eagles would add three more scores before the half. Dunn found Dracen Ortiz before connecting on another deep ball later, this time to Carter Schwab, to extend Decatur's lead to 35-0.

Lake View's best opportunity in the first half came with just over two minutes to go. Calvin Whitfield made a contested catch, evaded a would-be tackler, and sprinted down the field for a big gain. At the Eagles' 26-yard line, Chris Alvizo launched a deep ball to Andrew Young, but the Eagles came down with the contested throw for an interception.

The Eagles added one more score before the half to head to the locker rooms up 42-0.

The Chiefs finally found the end zone on Lake View's first drive in the third quarter. After driving the ball inside Decatur's 20, Alvizo avoided the pressure, broke a tackle, and scored from six yards out. That rushing touchdown made the score 42-7.

It was the final chance to see senior Alvizo in a Chiefs' uniform. Alvizo started for Lake View for three years in his tenure as quarterback. He filled in as a sophomore due to an early-season injury and never looked back. He led the Chiefs to their winningest season in 29 years in 2025 and finishes his time as a Chief as one of the most successful quarterbacks in Lake View history.

"There are so many positive things I could say about that young man," Guevara said. "He's a great kid and a great leader. He is truly going to be missed on and off the field."

Lake View finishes 2026 with a 4-7 overall record. The Chiefs dealt with three overtime losses and several key injuries throughout the season, but never stopped fighting and playing hard. The Chiefs have plenty of reasons to hold their heads high.
