Hubbard High’s Mike Lopuchovsky is used to running up and down the court for the basketball team.

But he found himself doing just that in Friday’s 27-24 victory over Girard.

Lopuchovsky, a senior, passed and ran for long touchdowns, and had two game-sealing interceptions in the thriller. He said games like that, which had a 14-point, fourth-quarter comeback by the Indians, are what athletes live for.

“It wasn’t nerve-wracking; that’s what you play for,” he said. “You can’t simulate that in a practice or anything. That’s exciting.”
