I dont think they get bonus points for beating the mecca. But they are the favorite. 

Not you too!  You’re better than that

Lol you saying DB’s are are strongest position group after we just sacked your QB 13 times tells me you know absolutely nothing. you guys struggled to complete passes as well lol heck yall struggled even fielding snaps in the weather. Allen has proven all season that he can make throws against defenses that are better than what that was that y’all had. he doesn’t have an 18:3 TD-INT ratio because he can’t throw. we are a run first team & we can pass decently when needed when it’s not 30 degrees and pouring outside. Allen has managed the game just about perfectly all year and that’s honestly all we need him to do. we’ve never been a team that throws for 300+ a game and as long as king is the coach we never will be. quit finding reasons to discredit Longview & enjoy basketball & the rest of the playoffs. 

Probably the worst O-line LV has faced this year in all honesty.

Very tough season but very proud of this team. Lots of serious injuries and could've easily quit after being blown out by Kingwood Park which is where I actually thought we were at that point in the season. I think there are some seniors that next year's team will benefit from having graduated. Last time we finished 6-5 with a first round loss was 2011 and that kicked off a good stretch of football for us. I think we're going to have more kids next year whose main focus will be on winning versus receiving individual accolades. 

As far as the game, the things that needed to go wrong for us to get blow out did but after being blown out multiple times this year this result was probably more probably than possible. I know the Longview fans feel great about their team, as they should, but this version of LV isn't some all-timer. Outside of running back they're not better than the Aledo team we lost to in the title game at any position. DBs are their strongest position group and they're still not on the level that Aledo team was with the Allen brothers. Going to be hard to win state with a QB going 2-10 for 29 yards on a defense that's not that great. You can blame it on the weather but I said earlier in the year that it would be hard to win with Allen playing QB and I wouldn't say anything different now. If Crosby had DBs that would've just turned around Allen would've thrown 3 gimmie' interceptions. LV didn't complete one pass to a wide receiver, so while Hale is great he's not going to beat you with Allen playing QB. Those other receivers are a non-factor, they really don't even get meaningful targets. To LV's credit though, they figured out how to get Hale the ball in other ways for him to be effective. 

LV may well win state but I think it's going to be tough for them to score consistently on anybody that Tatum can't run the number up on, like it was against Lancaster. Going to be interesting to see if LV can beat them at a neutral site? I think that game and the potential Aledo game would be their toughest test in the state regardless of if they were to make the title game.  

Bottom line is it's time to get ready for round ball, Crosby. Go Lobos!

Lol you may not be wrong but DB is definitely the weaker part of our defense not the strongest. he knows nothing.

I would say that title belongs to one of the Mesquite schools.

When the right lineup is out there, I wouldn't call it the weakest. Willie, Buddha, Chase and Simmons will all probably play DI ball.

But the DL is by far the best part of the defense. He just doesn't have an eye for talent.
