    I hear what you’re saying.  But the decision is already made.  So we will just have to make the best of it.  As long a SH is in a district with Gilmer, PG, and LE we will always be playing for the 4th place spot in football.  It is what it is.

    I think the point is it doesn't HAVE to be what it is. If that's the mindset going in, I guarantee that's all all they'll ever accomplish. There's a poster in the halls of White Oak Middle School that reads, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." If people only knew how true that is.

    lol if only. I'd be shocked if he had more than 3, if that.

    I'm almost intrigued that they've brought Maverik up to the varsity already. Was fully suited up this week. I don't think he played JV last week vs Lufkin as well.

    I was disappointed to see he wasn't on the field with the JV. That kid is impressive. On varsity, I doubt he would see any PT. I don't understand that move. He needs to be on the field, even if it is JV.

    Honestly, he is what he is at this point (from a Longview stand point).

    My week, every week at this point, is that he continues to be the average QB that he is with spurts of above average play with no similar game to the McKinney North game he had last season. That sounds harsh a bit, but just where my mindset has been with him all year.

    He's greatly improved from sophomore/junior years, there's no question. But my reservations will always be there just because of his past showings. I don't think the coaching staff, or whomever was calling plays last night, did him any services (just like they didn't against Lancaster).

    All true. I have no reservations about admitting how much his passing has improved this year. Doesn't even look like the same guy. It's just the scrambling. He's plenty fast enough, but it just seems like his brain goes into vapor lock when it's time to escape. I swear it's like he sees the opposite jersey intentionally runs right at it or chooses a path that makes it 1000 times harder on himself. Lol

  4. I know you can't really coach field awareness. It's one of those "intangibles" a person just has or doesn't. I sure would like to see QB1 develop that area though. The TD run he had that was called back was 100% on him. He had a wide open slot to the inside of his tackle he could have more easily gone through without even the slightest need for his holding. However, he took it to the outside and the tackle's only option was to hold or get his QB clobbered. Every other scramble saw QB1 run directly into a defender

    I might've missed it. What was Lancasters "great gameplan"?

    Their defensive game plan was to sell everything on stopping anything between the tackles...and it worked. Fortunately, we had the strength, and in the end, the adjustments to overcome it. They just ran their offense. Nothing surprising there. I think it was just their defensive plan that made this game as close as it was. That's JMO, though.

    Eh. We had two picks in first half, they had three in second half despite us having the hands on the ball constantly all night. 

    King made a decision to run run and run some more through the tackles. I’m not sure why but it was an obvious game plan. 

    Lancaster is a damn good football team and anyone who thinks otherwise is insane. Who outside of them could we see in round 4? It’s gonna be them. 

    They threw everything at us all night and we withstood it. We held them to 13 total points, despite some very good starting positions for them. 

    Ugly, gutsy. Call it what you what. We showed up and won when it mattered, which is exactly what you have to hope happens when you play a team like that.

    My personal opinion...King's play calling was the result of him trying to slow down the game. Lancaster is obviously high octane. Anything you can do to change that is a benefit. The problem was that King, and probably most of us, underestimated Lancaster's defense. The Lancaster D came in with a plan to sell everything they own to stop us between the tackles and they did it. When we did tried to pass, they slipped our line way too quickly and J. Allen didn't have time to make his reads. Now he has vastly improved since last year, but let's face it. If we have to depend on his feet this year, we're in trouble. He can not read a defense when he is rushing. He seems to run head-long into a defender every time. He also has trouble scrambling in a way to free up his arm. He simply needs time to throw and Lancaster was doing very well at not giving him that time. Listening to King's post-game, he knew his play-calling made this game harder than it had to be. He played right into what Lancaster was doing. I personally feel it was a good game plan for frustrating Lancaster and I, too, was not expecting 1) that the Lancaster D was that good, and 2) that their whole team would play with that much discipline. It wasn't until the end of the 3rd that he seemed to realize he needed to spread the field some. I think Kings knows he should have recognized it earlier, but when you have a plan, you need to at least see where it's going to take you. I give him credit for doing it in time. That Lobo D was lights out again. 6 dropped interceptions were a little tough to swallow, but they handled it. Good game to both teams.
