Mountain View's Lovett received family's football genes 

Here’s a name to watch: Isaiah Lovett. He is the son of ex-UA running back Lamont Lovett, who has been the UA’s football radio analyst for 12 years. Isaiah, a 6-4, 180-pound junior receiver at Mountain View, has already caught 11 passes for 385 yards in two Mountain Lions victories, including two catches of 80 yards or more. Talk about good genes. Isaiah’s father gained 2,000 yards as a high school senior tailback at Los Angeles Franklin in 1988 and 582 yards at Arizona. His uncle, Lamar Lovett, caught 46 passes for the Wildcats in the early ’90s. Lamar is now a pastor in Atlanta. Lamont is a financial services adviser.
