    The last time they played, Lancaster had 440 yds of offense and limited Forney to right over 200 yds. Going to be a better game than you think.

    Yea I believe Lancaster will beat Forney this go round...same as they beat Longview. Depends on LT's attitude though...if they are satisfied with finally beating the boogie man or do they want more. They are very talented on Offense

    Can I ask the question without getting crucified by the Longview people?

    It is time for King to retire?

    He wins...

    Maybe it's the crappy districts Longview gets put in but he has won for 20 straight years. He's earned the right to name his day. I'll give him that credit. But I would like that comparisons to him and that other guy little south of Longview to stop because it's not really close...IMO

    I guess you haven't goggled it on a map. Lovejoy high school to 🌹 Stadium is 2 hrs and 3 mins. Rose Stadium to TX High high school is 2 hrs and 6 mins. It's a shorter drive for both schools. But A and M Commerce to Lovejoy is hr. A and M Commerce to TX High is a hr and 44 mins. One is a 3 minute difference and the other one is a 45 minute difference give or take. Like I said 🌹 Stadium is as neutral as you can get for both schools. 😉 

    Hell 🌹 stadium is Longview...

    That and his pops is a Carthage legacy.

    When me and you were talking a while back, we knew we'd lose somebody at RB with all the RBs we had coming up the ranks. Man we had so much going on, we joked that we should switch to the T formation. The room was loaded, still is without Graves. Judson had him and Henry on the same team! And Henry was killing it on the 9th level this year before he got injured. We haven't seen speed like his since probably Tory White.

    A look ahead after Taylor Tatum....between Boosie Washington, Mason Washington, Henry Johnigan and AJ McGee (could end up being the best Longview has seen)...that's 4 college level RBs right there the next few years. 

    I liked Graves, solid talent but I like those that want to be Lobos more. And you know not everybody is made for that Lobo life.

     

    You know me Wulfie...I thought Graves would be better than all of them...even Tatum. And Tatum has really earned that #1 ranking this year.

    I’d like to see Graves run the ball with the starting o line. I haven’t seen him play with anything but the backups and it’s usually a run up the middle. Can’t tell how good he is with the back up o line. 

    He's very good! Like @cotton84 said he's just small in stature. And this coming with him missing his whole 8th grade season with a bad wheel.

    Starting soph RB has multiple offers already, including from Georgia a few days ago.........3rd string RB, who sometimes gets some 1st half carries, is a soph. who had somewhere around 1500 yards for Shelbyville's varsity last year as a freshman - he probably is the starter at RB at 20-30% of 4As this year.

    And on a side note, another soph that plays only defense would be a starting RB on a bunch of teams this year -----I think he plays college football, but it might be offense instead of defense.

    Well hell...that was the "rumor mill" why he got away from Longview. He would've had to wait his senior year to be the man. Longview is loaded for the next 7 years at RB

    He has the game awareness and moves….just needs a growth spurt…..I look for him to be a slot receiver on varsity next year 

    The sophomore RB now is that good huh?! I remember coaching Graves in flag and seeing him in little league. His dad groomed him to be a football player.

    Well, the ninth grade is loaded with linemen and a RB who has played some on varsity and the 8th grade has a good group of skill kids - with a QB and RB who both could be special…..just sayin it might just not be 3 more good years. 

    What do you think of the freshman Rb Graves? I so badly wanted to see him in Lobo green.

    I gotcha. 

    from about 2008 to 2018 under Coach Rush and Coach Holmes were special too.  I would say they brought Cujo back.  Three Semi-final and three 4th round appearances during that time frame is just a step below the Cujo time you talked about.   

    you never know how things shake out, with Aledo probably going up either this yr or in 2 yrs and if others schools stay up, its possible JT could make deep playoff runs again.  They will have a solid team on paper over the next couple of yrs. Lets see how that goes.  But I do agree, that deep talent pool is probably not coming back.  Too much has changed. 

    Well this is just me but...2008-2018 I don't remember not noun player from them teams. They prolly were good. The the real CUJO years...the Fred Talley getting his head knocked completely off at Rose stadium...that's CUJO!

    Dallas people?  - Lancaster and McNorth would be Dallas people and I think they have done quite well against Tyler.  Nac dosen't talk every spring about how great they are going to be only to fail miserable.  Wait until Tyler is the OLD Tyler to talk so much smack!

    I like JT...even root for them but I don't think they will ever get back CUJO mode...
