SLATON, Texas -- After leading his team to a third straight win on Friday, Jacob Lopez, quarterback for the Slaton Tigers, is the KLBK Athlete of the Week!

Lopez accounted for five touchdowns in the 49-33 win over then-unbeaten Littlefield, throwing four and rushing for one. The Tigers improved to 6-1 on the season and 1-0 in the district, now on the cusp of matching the team's mark of seven wins in 2024.

"This is our third year here and I think our kids have bought in, just learning our offensive system a little bit better," said Slaton head coach Clint Conkin. "I think that's helped us a lot.

After a bye week, Slaton returns to action on Oct. 24 against Floydada (0-6) at Blake J. Boyd Memorial Stadium.
