6A Division II State Quarterfinals: Longview vs Lufkin JohnnyFootball replied to LoboFan07's topic in High School Sports Wow. I am really sorry I'm running a half marathon tomorrow or I'd have made the drive. Sounds like I missed one of the all time great games. so you can declare a player awful and not witnessed his awfulness in person? You have not a clue. Hope you have a nice run tomorrow and a nice vacation.

KC special teams are not strong. Longview has a decided advantage in this phase of the game. It is very likely that Longview will block a fg/pat attempt. Longview kicker/punter much bigger leg than KC. In playoffs, Longview has kicked off 20 times with only 3 of them returned for a total of 33 yards. Throughout the season, punts averaging 39 yards or so with only one punt returned. I honestly believe that this should be a close game and that special teams could likely be the difference.

Props to your prognostication ability. 7 kickoffs and 1 punt for zero return yards. Puts special in special teams.

If the receiver started his route from outside of the hash and is targeted outside of the other hash, that is a crossing route and ball is to be thrown in front of the receiver.

The int against JT was a deep crossing route that was under thrown and behind the receiver so it wasn't the route. As far as the Heath game and balls being thrown into space, I have no idea if they were blown routes or throws. The passing game has been inconsistent. Bad throws, drops, but have made the big play when needed. Also, for an offensive line that is built and schooled to run the ball, they have given darn good protection on passes.

I'll play along FF. Rockwall beat the defending 5A champions and has 3 district losses. Rockwall, Horn and Longview maybe even JT ( I'll let you know about Heath after Friday) would make some serious noise in 5A. As far as a 6A district, I would tend to agree with you. Very competitive, but most teams seem to be lacking the it factor that would make them elite. i'd like to let you know that most of the time, you have valid observations, but you present them in such an over the top way that the message gets lost.

JT has the defense that can get enough stops to win. The offense should be able to score enough points to win. So if they play cleaner than MH they have a better than average chance of winning. Special teams is what I think may do you in. The coaching staff needs to get to a camp so that they can teach how to long-snap. The slow snaps is the biggest reason why the xp and fg were blocked.

No idea on the specifics of the transfer, but rumors had him going to Marshall. JT might not have signed off if he went to Longview.

Chris Kessler Longview 28-19 win over John Tyler xp 3-3, fg 1-1 47 yd kickoff 2 touchbacks, 1 tackle punts 5-38, 3 inside the 20 (2 inside the 5)

I do not belioeve that the Gladewater secondary will compete with Gilmer passing attack. Gilmer will get their points and I do not believe that Gladewater's offense will match Gilmer output.

Misses of 49 and 51 into the wind. A HS kicker will only be at best as consistent as the snapper and holder. Lawson is a pretty good holder. He handles some tough snaps pretty good. Snappers are improved over last year, but the holders have to work too hard. Watch how often the ball is still being spiun when it is kicked. Specialist coaching is definitely lacking at Lobo, but in all honesty it is lacking at all high schools.

One bad punt and a miss on a fg under 35 yd thru 4 games and you label the kicker inconsistent? You want to blame a blocked PAT, that came off the edge on an inconsistent kicker? You could complain about inconsistent special teams play, but think you are off base on saying kicker is inconsistent.

At this level, the jv team will play opposite of the varsity and the freshman play same schedule as varsity. So Shadow Creek opted to not have freshman travel.( freshmen are subvarsity)...

It is rather simple answer. SOC head coach wants to give a playoff like atmosphere to his players. Go on a couple hour bus ride to a stadium that they have only ever been to once or never, play against a strong run oriented team.And if they make out better in the $$ then it is a bonus

Personally, I don't really care who wins. On one hand, I like to root for my district mates. On the other hand, I never had to deal with an absolutely obnoxious LP fan like we do a certain Tyler fan who comes into our Team thread. So there is a certain amount of I hope JT loses, so he just disappears. If it wouldn't be for that dude, I'd be low key rooting for JT

I didn't see it that way. Deep passes had to be dropped in the bucket to conplete which is a difficult throw. Underneath routes had some room, but Longview tends to have a bend don't break mentality on defense. I saw one busted coverage on a wheel route, but that was the only deep recriver that ran free

Now it is officially on! The old slap a lobo has finally emerged. Safe travels to all

Therr is no way that a team with 3 D1 offensive lineman can not run the ball. When the scores actually count, i expect to see the running game carry this offense.

Rain is coming in Friday. Saturday is supposed to be a day of heavy rain in Longview. I am not sure where your forecast comes from, but I have not seen one without rain., At least wait until they play a down of football before second guessing Coach King.

Trust me they are still angry over the treatment they received from the home crowd 2 years ago.

It's probably too early for 'Slap a Lobo' talk. I hope they regain some enthusiasm when practice actually starts.

Sorry still learning this site. Just thought about the Lufkin comeback game. I don't recall who ran in the two point conversion with the game on the line.could you help me out? Any team that can not run the ball is going to struggle. My two biggest areas of concern regarding the coaching staff are qb development and teaching ball security. If i see one more picture ( in the count down) of a Lobo carrying the ball without the point covered up i may scream.
