What offense does Longview run?

First, congrats to the NEWTON EAGLES for bringing another title back to SETX. My wife and I made a trip up to the panhandle a couple of years ago and I made it a point to pass through Canadian; I had seen them play football a couple of years in the state championship. I think the town was built around their stadium...excellent facilities. I've been told by their fans that they draw kids from all over the area, including Oklahoma, to play football there. Very well coached, quality program. I thought this game would be close for that reason. But, I also knew Newton was the real deal after I saw them handle Gilmer this year. Again congratulations to the Eagles and I wish I could have been there this year to see the repeat.

Crosby Crushed as Adonte Woodard wears #23 for Pirates; sacks Coug QB 5 times! 

Amen to everything Smoking Baby. BTW, where the he11 were you at last year's Texas Fest on Travis?

That was one of the best games of football I have ever seen a Pirate team play. Period. Four out of five times Memorial beats us but not that night. A Jeff Mathews masterpiece.

We've played Crosby three times in recent history...all in the playoffs. All three at neutral sites, all three in the playoffs, two were close games that could go either way. Disrespect us if you want but you're coming to a fired up Boneyard that LOVES to barbeque KITTIES! Vidor 28 - Cosby 24 in a good one! Parking is an issue but the west side of the stadium is usually reserved for the visiting fans. If not, there are big parking lots north side of the school with a short walk there.

Would be nice to see one of those kids running collegiately. I guess I compare it to having a Devwah Whaley come through...would like to see a kid like that running in our offense. Nothing against our kids...y'all know how much I love 'em.

I think we're at 1281 right now.

The Pirate Defense and Offensive Line are really shining this year. Our special teams need work especially kicking which is usually a strength with us. Running backs are about as talented as they ever are...we never have break away speed. Gage is a good QB and manages the team well. We'll see in two weeks where we stand when we get Cosby then PNG but I like our chances vying for one of the playoff spots. Coaching is the biggest strength we have. Jeff and his staff are doing an outstanding job putting out a team that competes even though we keep losing dozens of kids every year. I'm thinking we may be 4A by 2020. Call me Homer all day long but we're in the playoff mix every year which says volumes about them.

I agree with this statement. I've been to the state championship with WOS the last four years in a row; Pleasant Grove was the better team last year but not by much. PG won fair and square and WOS represented SETX as champions the way they always do. Close game between WOS / Crosby but I think Cornell gets the Mustangs on course and they get the W 31-28.

Only three things can happen when you pass, two of them are bad.

Vidor O-line is the strength of the team. LCM won't be able to stop it.

Vidor 48 - LCM 7. Not even close.

Look at our record over the last ten years Mr. Dog; I think between the two of us we were the last to be a district champion. Go bark about that.

I get what all of you are saying but I disagree about a bond not passing. Several people I've talked to agree with the things I'm talking about. The bond for the new high school, and it was without a new stadium, failed because they held it on a Saturday morning as basically a stand alone and there were no other elections at that time. It needs better PR and to be held during a general election where there is a better turnout and I think it would have a better chance of passing. It's a pet peeve of mine and may be something I pursue. At the very least, the old Boneyard needs turf and it needs it now. Not playing our home games because of weather is not acceptable. Maybe I can get President Trump involved.....
