2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

LIVINGSTON LIONS

2018 Record: 0-10 Overall, 0-5 District

6th Place in District 11-4A-I

 

The Livingston Lions were hoping that a change of football divisions might change their luck.  However, the adjustment didn't go as well as planned and the Lions failed to win a game in 2018.  But second year coach Finis Vanover is counting on a group that has now had a full year under his system (seven starters return on each side of the ball) to compete for a playoff spot. 

 

Head Coach: Finis Vanover

Assistant Coaches: Juan Ceballos (Offensive Coordinator), Andy Garza (Defensive Coordinator)

Offense:

Seven starters return to the Livingston multiple I offense in 2019.  Sophomore quarterback Damien Ruiz, who lead the Livingston freshman team to a 9-1 mark in 2018, is expected to take the reins of the Livingston offense.  Senior running backs Debrian Rains (2nd team all-district), Cody Dupas and Keon Perkins (a move in from Coldspring-Oakhurst) will share the Lion rushing load. Junior wideout Chris Washington (2nd team all-district) will return to the Livingston receiver group along with senior tight end Jaylen Harrell.  Senior lineman Cameron Morris returns to lead a line which will also feature juniors Ladanian Walker, Nigel Henderson and Dannon Beatty.

Defense:

Seven starters return to the Livingston 4-2-5 defense in 2019.  Martin (2nd team all-district at defensive end), Walker, Henderson and Beatty will return to the Livingston defensive line.  Harrell and Dupas (2nd team all-district) will line up at linebacker.  Washington will anchor the Lion secondary.

Special Teams:

Special teams positions will be finalized at summer practice.
