  1. One of my favorite Longview games ever. Garland was ranked and full of ego and trash talk during warmups. Outside of Dallas Carter, I haven't seen a team come in so cocky to a game only to get blown out, they came in with a terrible mental state. Longview ran the option to perfection in that one. Tascosa is in the "Longview" role this week...although they won't be getting a bunch of trash talk or ego from the other side. Definitely an underdog with a chance to win.
  2. I just want to clarify a few things I've seen posted here from our Amarillo friends. A) Longview is not a "Metroplex" team. That is an offensive term to us. We are 120 miles away from the Metroplex. We play Metroplex teams in district and tend to beat Metroplex schools in the playoffs. Matt Diggs does not cover our team. He knows about us because we beat the teams he covers. B) Longview does not run a spread offense. Longview runs a pro-style offense. They don't run the hurry up. It is very methodical. There's no one player or particular concept to key on. And I will agree that defending the flex bone or any other type of option offense is all about fundamentals. It's about footwork, leverage, gap integrity, and teamwork. Those are things that start in spring practice. You install the strategies the week of the game, but you rely on the things you been doing all year.
