FULL GAME LOG

GAME PREVIEW & SERIES REVIEW
A near miss on a 21-year old school record was the headline for the Longview Lobos in Week 7 of the 2019 Texas High School Football season. For the fifth time this season, it was the Kaden Meredith show as Longview returned to E.H. Hanby Stadium for the first of three contests there in the next five weeks. Kaden Meredith racked up four touchdowns and 354 yards, coming just shy of Fred Talley's 387 rushing yards in a single game that Talley set in his final game as a Lobo down in Nacogdoches back in 1998. Kaden Meredith's career day led to a 44-20 victory over Mesquite Horn, their first over the Jaguars in Mesquite since 2011. This was the first time the Lobos had visited Mesquite Horn since their last regular season loss back in September of 2017. Since then, including the victory over the Jags this season, Longview has reeled off a 32-1 overall record. Longview has won 22 wins in a row overall, 22 regular season victories and 14 district victories in a row. Longview's 22 wins overall is the most in school history. Longview's 22 regular season wins in a row is second most in school history (29 is the record set from 1975 to 1977). And Longview's 14 district wins in a row sits 5th in school history, but with four more wins to end the regular season this year, they can tie the second longest school record (school record is 36 set from 2004 to 2010). With the win, the Lobos improved to 2-0..sitting atop 11-6A along with fellow East Texas rival, Tyler Lee (5-1, 2-0), who had a bye this week. Longview now returns home to face on the Rockwall Heath Hawks, who have struggled since starting the season 3-0. The Hawks (3-4, 0-3) fell to their cross town rivals the Yellowjackets of Rockwall 38-17 this week, and sit on the edge of being eliminated from post season contention. However, the Hawks have been in all three games. They led Tyler Lee before a last minute drive by the Red Raiders brought home the win. They battled back and forth with Mesquite, but a late score by the Skeeters pushed it to a two score Mesquite win. Mike Spradlin had his Hawks flying, dominating three straight opponents in non-district, before McKinney North tore of the Hawk defense and the Heath season has come to a crashing halt. Heath returns to Longview for the third time in their young history. Their first meeting, in 2012, Longview jumped out to a 49-6 lead on the Hawks before halftime. Heath attempted a mini come back in the second half, but the Lobos rolled to a 52-27 win. In their last visit, the Heath Hawks actually grabbed a 7-0 lead after the first quarter. Longview woke up on the first play of the second quarter and it led the Lobos to a dominating 49-7 win.

I'm hoping we can use this one to get our passing game going. 

We know Kaden is going to dice them up quite a bit. 

Heath hung strong with Rockwall, and easily could've beaten Lee and/or Mesquite if one bounce went their way. They led Lee really late, so I don't buy much on their 3-4/0-3 record. This is a much better squad than last season (I believe the entire district is better tbh).

Gotta get the frosh in now. It's obvious the issues with drops aren't going away. Need someone who's gonna come down with the ball.

I think we all did exactly what Coach King was preaching for his players not to do.   We looked at the common opponent scores and said blowout with no challenge at all.  During the game that old Longview fan mentality crept back in for lots of fans.   Bottom line is every game will be different and we are not the same team as last year.  Things are not clicking yet like we expected, especially with the passing game and penalties.  I hope we get it going.   Sometimes Haynes misses the throws, then he hits them, and the receivers drop a few.  It’s hard to get in sync when that happens, and it happens every game so far.  Everybody in that group has things to correct.   Will it happen, I hope so.  Without it I don’t see up repeating.   At some point in the playoffs you have to be able to run and pass and impose you will on the other team.  We can’t do that yet.

I'm all for it. 

He'll be WR1 next season as a sophomore anyway. At least have em in heavy rotation, which he has been since Rockwall week.

Honestly think he has best hands in the program, something I thought a certain 3 year varsity vet, 2 year returning starting SR would have.

I do still think its only a matter of time before they take off. Just too much experience and talent man. We can't forget that Kearbey, Braden and Moore played pivotal parts in last years' receiving core.

Now, we've seen Moore produce and when he's catching the ball....its beautiful. Braden also getting back to himself.

But outside of blocking, Kearbey just hasn't been the player that he's capable of being so far this year. When/if he ever turns on...Watch out.

Official stats out push Hayden down to 333, and total for team down to 663

I'm going with the DMN stats for the Horn game for what it's worth as the official stats. Knowing who did them, and I trust them more than whoever has been doing the Longview official stats this season..cause they've been all over the place. 

It sounds like Heath has a stellar sophomore QB back there leading their team. Hopefully our D can cause some issues for them.
