Louisville scores early, often in rout of Hoover

One week after celebrating too much in the end zone, the Louisville Leopards hardly celebrated at all. They just spent most of Friday night getting to the end zone in a rout of the Hoover High School football team.
The Leopards pasted their rival, 50-7, and made sure they left plenty of room for error, unlike last week when they lost to Walsh Jesuit on a last-second field goal. Needless to say, it’s been a long week waiting to wipe the taste of last week’s loss out of their mouths when a penalty for excessive celebration after a score helped set up Walsh for its winning kick.
“This was one of the most fired up Louisville teams I’ve seen in 12 years,” Leopards head coach John DeMarco said. “They left all their emotions on the field.”
