  1. Yep lots of growth in the DFW. You can expect to see rapid growth for Forney HS also. Lots of subdivisions are going up off I-20. They have a Mesquite address but will be zoned for Forney HS.
  2. That turnover may have been the nail in the coffin. They really needed a score and turned it over instead.
  3. It's been a long time since I have seen a team dominated like this in the state championship game.
  4. Malakoff is balanced on offense which I think will get them the win.
  5. Too me it appeared Albany simply wanted it more than Mart.
  6. He can't throw a forward pass due to his injured hand. Not a good place to be when your 3 TD's behind
  7. Thank you sir. I looked everywhere and could not find it. Went to 676 and BINGO!
  8. I have attended every Saturday championship game since 2010. I do not want to go back to the 4 games a day format due to those games never ever start on time. There were times when the final game ended after 11pm.
  9. I think people forget that there only a handful of truly elite coaches in Texas. Even the elite coaches need to be in the right situation to succeed. Replacing a coach with a 90% winning percentage with the hope that you can do better is just crazy IMHO. Seldom is a program dominant for any length of time. Look at Allen, Judson, HP just to name a few. I can certainly name more programs who have fallen of the map than those who have taken that next step to a championship. Coach Samples like King could never win a championship despite his many close calls. He found a great fit and Duncanville took off. Ever wonder what happened to Skyline after he left. If the mindset is yearly state championship or bust, I can tell which one is going to prevail 99% of the time.
  10. I seldom dip into these conversations but it seems it is the same conversation every year after a Longview loss. King has earned the right to leave Longview under his own terms. Even if you let him go what proven commodity are you going to replace him with. There are only a handful of elite coaches in the state and most of them are not going to leave their current program. In my opinion Longview only needs to do some tweaking to take that next step. Having a fullback in modern era football is crazy. Your taking away a playmaker when you do that. I would much rather them run split backs which the running back history they have. If they are going to have a TE that person should be used in 3rd down situations to move the chains. This is something that Rockwall does very well with their H-back. I would also signal my plays in from the sideline instead of having the QB go get it from the coach. The amount of time outs taken because the clock is running it down has been a problem for Longview as long as I can remember. I feel the Longview's pain when the O-line is constantly getting false starts at crucial times. Those are drive killers. When Coach Samples could not get over the hump he hired a OC and let him call the plays. The won a state championship the year they made the change. The worse thing a coach can do is refuse to change because his system is all he knows. Bring in fresh blood to give you a new perspective and never be afraid to tweak the system.
  11. Saw your post after my last post. If they inqiured about the booth and were none was available I am not sure why anyone is upset. I watched the kids broadcast and thought it was fine.
  12. They got to the stadium and was told there was no booth for them to setup. Clearly they did not plan ahead. The only clueless part is your instability to come to the same conclusion.
  13. Seems to me the Longview crew should have contacted the stadium and inquired about booth spot once they realized they would be playing their. Showing up on gameday and asking for a spot is piss poor planning on thier part.
  14. This is a silly post. Longview is in East Texas so the city of Longview and East Tx media covers them. When they play DFW schools they give a brief overview of the opponent. When the game is over they provide the score and brief breakdown of the game. It is no different than the way the DFW does it. Heck the DFW media does not even cover DISD Schools.
  15. Seems to me those arrangements should be made prior to gameday not on gameday.
  16. Look for Jerry to increase the price of parking again this year.
  17. Half the teams in 7-5A are moving up. Longview, Forney, Lancaster and McKinney North should all be 6A this go around. I am waiting to see if Bryan Adams going 6A but seems like DISD has not released their numbers yet. They will get paired with Skyline which will change things in the DFW.
  18. Unless they add a new district to Dallas the Mesquite schools should remain in 10-6A. They could move them but they would only be moving them from one 9 team district to another. I don't expect alot of movement because there not that many schools moving up. Longview, Forney and Lancaster are the only schools moving up in the eastern section of DFW. Surprisingly they are all from the same district.
  19. With Prosper expected growth they would be foolish to build a stadium that only holds 8k. They need to double that size. 94 million for 8k stadium is crazy.
  20. His brother must be our OC because our offense is run the exact same way.
