LAST FIVE GAMES IN SERIES 11.22.2014 - Mansfield Lake Ridge 37 Longview 35 - Rose Stadium FULL GAME LOG GAME PREVIEW & SERIES REVIEW December football has returned to Longview. After four seasons of 3 Regional rounds and 1 Area round miscues and mistakes, the Lobos dominated the Wylie Pirates from the get go in a 35-14 victory inside the comfy confines of AT&T Stadium. The win marked Longview’s first win at the home of the Cowboys since the 2nd to last game ever at Texas Stadium, a 41-30 victory over Denton Guyer in the 4A State Semi-Final. The win also pushed Longview’s record to 11-2 on the season, the 8th time the Lobos have reached at least 11 wins under head coach John King. With the win, Longview heads back to AT&T Stadium for the 5A Division I State Quarterfinal…marking the 13th time in program history the Lobos have reached the Quarterfinal round. Awaiting them is a foe that ended their season the previous year in 2014, Mansfield Lake Ridge. The Eagles come into the contest with a healthy 13-0 record, having rarely been tested on the season and are a week off from producing over 700 yards of offense against the Poteet Pirates. The Lobos will rely on their defense to win the game, a defense that has yet to give up more than four scores in a contest, and has allowed just four once all season long. The lowest the Eagles have been held to, point wise, was against Keller Fossil when they scored just 30 points. Lake Ridge has scored 50 or more points in each of the last 6 weeks. The Lobos will be looking to win their 60th overall playoff game as they enter into the contest, with their last Quarterfinal win coming against Mesquite Horn in 2010.

However, the missed extra point on the Indians’ last touchdown sparked the Lobos and began a huge comeback that would see the Lobos take the lead into the locker room 21-0. Despite a 99 yard touchdown pass given up in the 3rd quarter, Longview would not be denied and rolled all over #3 and undefeated Waxahachie, 50-26.
