2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

TARKINGTON LONGHORNS

2018 Record: 2-8 Overall, 0-4 District

5th Place in District 9-4A-II

 

The 2018 season was a rough one for the Tarkington Longhorns as they failed to gain a district win and finished out of the playoff picture.  However, Tarkington fans are counting on a change and that change has come in the form of former Port Arthur Memorial offensive coordinator Zach Bass.  Bass does have a experienced nucleus to build from as eight starters on each side of the ball return for the 2019 season in an effort to launch the Longhorns back into the Class 4A, Division II playoff picture.

 

Head Coach: Zach Bass

Assistant Coaches: Roy Gatlin, Matt Calvert, Joe Maines, Ken McCarther, Wade Taylor, Mark Davidson, Dillion Croley, Bryce Morgan

Offense:

Eight starters return to the Tarkington offense in 2019, but that offense will definitely have a new look.  The triggerman for the 2 back spread offense will be junior quarterback Trae Deck (2nd team all-district in 2019).  Among those in the backfield with Deck will be junior Bradley Sanders (2nd team all-district).  Comprising the Longhorn receiver attack will be senior wide receivers Christian Howard (1st team all-district) and speedy receiver Cole McLawchlin, who happens to be getting several looks from power 5 schools, as well as senior tight end Camryn Hahn  (2nd team all-district), junior receiver Nate Carley and sophomore tight end Kevin McCarther.  Senior linemen Micah Hare (2nd team all-district) and Nathan Greak (2nd team all-district) will lead an offensive line which will also feature junior Blake James and sophomores Abraham Cruz and Gavin Edwards.

Defense:

Eight starters return to the Longhorn 3-4 defense in 2019.  Returning starters, junior Travonte Bogany and senior Garrett Hlavetty (2019 defensive utility all-district), will be joined on the defensive line by seniors Alex Odell and Jace Pickett.  Austin Denton, who lost his junior year to a horrific leg injury, returns to the all senior Tarkington linebacker corp which will also include Greak as well as seniors Ryan Hannah and Conner Clifton.  Howard (2nd team all-district), senior defensive backs Joey Wells and Alex Armstrong and junior defensive back Rakan Devito will be joined in the Tarkington secondary by junior Andrew King and sophomores Riley Johnson and Dawson Snead.

Special Teams:

The multi-talented McClawchlin will not only take care of both the place kicking and punting duties, he will also be one the primary kick returners along with Howard.

      4A D2 State Final Bellville vs Gilmer

      By blackflag · Posted

      That was an awesome video!  I feel so proud of these young men.  They proved the doubters wrong.  Bellville should be proud, too.  I know it didn't end like they had hoped, but we've been there, so we can definitely empathize with them.  Great season, Brahmas!

      Meh.. Everyone knows this. The kid that got injured wasn't lifting weights. Supposedly he was hit with a helmet in his elbow. In my opinion the kid shouldn't have been put in that situation. AD should've told the Varsity baseball players to sit that one out. I have no issues with the lifting or conditioning. However, anytime helmets/pads are on there is a higher risk of injury. This AD showed a total lack of respect for HIS baseball program.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      Maybe.. however..  Many athletic director / head football coach have lost their job despite the athletic program as a whole being successful.. if the football team struggles.  On the other hand, when football teams are doing great but the rest of the program stinks.. AD/HFC still keeps their job. WOS.  Newton. .. programs as a whole were fairly weak during those many years of football power and very few people even knew it.  Or cared. Yet, AD/HFC kept their jobs for years. Meanwhile, I remember an AD/HFC at Barbers Hill lost his job after every program in the school won district championships and even had several team sports (baseball, softball, girls hoops, etc.) making runs at state.  But the football team was mediocre.  Fired. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that perception is reality.  And the perception is that your athletic program can suck as long as football wins.. it doesn't matter how strong the athletic program is if football sucks.
