LoboFan07 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Baseball. By far the most embarrassing sport at Longview High. Believe just one playoff win in the entire history of the sport. But up until the 80s, Boys Basketball as well. Never made the playoffs until the 79-80 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcsnowflakes Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Queen City- just about everything football- won’t even touch that subject vball- ehh lots of first round exits b bball- before the last few years they were an embarrassment g bball- before mcmellon came they were bad, but she saved the program Baseball- by far their best sport, but even it can’t overcome the lack of talent their right now softball- How many coaches have they had?? Several times the coach that started hasn’t finished. Track- #### Only thing they have going for them is archery. Is that even a sport. Guess it gets those kids ready to provide for their family out in the wilderness known as Cass County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purpleforever Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Newton, baseball. Although back in the early '70s or late '60s had a pitcher drafted out of high school by Toronto, Joe Gilbert was his name I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is staggering to me our baseball failures over the decades. I mean it’s not just been a recent thing, we have never had a consistent baseball team at all.

Mavchamp Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Girls soccer. I don’t think they have EVER won more than 4-5 games in a season since they started the sport. I can’t confirm it; but I’d feel safe if it was a money wager Meanwhile......softball has made the playoffs....I believe 21 of 25 years. Strange how schools consistently do well at some things and poorly others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think demographics are the problem. Coaching turnover, softball, and lack of recruiting players to participate are good starts. I predict Hispanics will be the largest demo group in MISD within 5 years or less. 37% Black, 35% Hispanic, 25% White, 3% Other I did some quick digging.... and that’s the trend for EVERY 5A school in East Texas except Hallsville, Lindale, and Whitehouse. Marshall, PT, JT, Jax, Nac Lufkin, Texas High, Sulphur Springs, and MP are all either trending to majority Hispanic or are already majority Hispanic. I didn’t look beyond East Texas 5A..... but it would be interesting to see if the same is true for East Texas 4A. Sorry. Off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won a playoff game. Beat some TABC ranked teams pre district. Won 20 games year before. They should be favored to win the district this coming year. Not saying Huntington is great but they are competitive. Surely not “horrible” as you have stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINDERBOX Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 You can look at summer programs at Pewitt and the fields that kids are playing on and see how important the sport is to the community. Softball fields at Pewitt where young girls play is in bad shape especially the girls who are about to go into high school. Also you can look at who is hired by administration to coach the high school teams (coaches with no experience or very little) and parents who expect their kids to play, winning is unimportant as long as their kid plays. That why they dont have a chance to win in a very competitive district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
