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.

      I would not say NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS WITH BASEBALL.. All you have to do is go to Ford Park every weekend and look at how much money parents pour into baseball.. lol I get what you are saying.. but look at it from this point of view... WINS look good on resume correct? Would a AD do better if he has all his multi-sport kids stay in his program? Again they are usually the more athletic kid. Is his actions driving away the more athletic kids to "concentrate on one sport"? Sometimes more is not better.. Kids get burned out really quick if they believe their AD/Coach does not care about their personal athletic dreams and desires.  Like I said.. a Good AD knows how to navigate this issue.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By PlayActionPass · Posted

      Never understood why you can't be good at all 4 major sports. If you are talented enough, and athletic enough to be a Regional Finalist football team, then you would think you would be athletic enough to at least be competitive in basketball. If you wanted to be...... And as big a baseball town as Jasper is, where did that tradition go? Where are those kids now?

      Can't blame the AD. Texas is a Football mecca. If an AD does poorly in football, but decent in baseball, he may be looking for another job soon. If he does great in football, then no one really cares what happens with baseball, generally speaking. He's trying to keep a job and bolster his resume' for the next chance to promote his career.

      there won't be a scheduling problem... cause AD's don't allow them to play.. its a nice double standard they like to use.

      Sorry, I didn't know that. I guess they can do both, and if there is a schedule problem, the kid will have to decide.
