  1. Congratulations to Gilmer on a hard fought win. I never believed that anyone could beat Carthage by taking 3 pts when you are so close to getting 7 & this happened often last night. Props to Gilmer’s Head Coach and his staff for having the balls to execute this over & over again. Huge props to their kicker. What a game he had. Absolutely clutch. Congratulations to Carthage too for just being who you are every year in the Surratt era.
  2. Offensively that’s exactly what Longview did. They ran the ball. They just couldn’t with Tatum cause he wasn’t there. Hel 3/4 of the people posting all week acted like Tatum wasn’t even gonna be missed. Personally that made me wonder what are they smoking. # 1 back in America wasn’t gonna be missed. Y’all should ripping each other for that obvious miss read. Also, Longview had the lead til midway thru the 4th. Running the ball also eats the clock. Believe what you want. But think about KC now playing without Mahomes & Green Bay or the Jets now playing without Rogers. Results would be? Anyhow that’s my take on why Longview lost.
  3. Totally different. Like the 90% of NFL teams now are built around QB’s, Longview is built around the RB. If Mahomes goes down, Rodgers goes down…. those teams lose. Tatum went down. Longview had great 2’s & 3’s but those 2’s and 3’s aren’t Mahomes, Rodgers or on the Longview HS level built around the run Tatum.
  4. Finally the top rated RB in the country is mentioned. Longview runs a run dominated offense. They always have. They played their round 3 playoff game VS a team that was every bit as athletic as the Lobos are. Now for whatever reason Lancaster underperformed this year until mid season. They have been real good since then. Now let’s add in the Tatum factor. His backups are exceptional HS RB’s but they are not him. As a matter of football expert fact you can say no one in the country is him. That huge factor is the reason Longview won’t be playing Forney tonight.
  5. Longview GameDay is fantastic. Add replay and a 40 second clock and it’s as good as we see Sat & Sun. UIL & NHSF coverage is for $$$ and it’s not near as good. It’s not good.
  6. 50 minutes from Tyler is Longview. Longview HS has an International Baccalaureate program. No other school in E Texas offers that. College courses thru Kilgore College are also offered as well as honors classes. Their career and technology department is also very good. In regards to football and athletics it’s by far the best around.
  7. One week ago Frisco Reedy ended Longview’s record setting season in game 3 of the Region 2 5A semi finals. Today Frisco Reedy ended Frisco Wakelands domination of Region 2 5A baseball with a 1-0 Game 3 Regional Finals victory. Reedy is headed to Round Rock
  8. Truth be told there is no reason to have an AD only at a high school unless that AD is the AD in district with multiple high schools or middle schools. In smaller schools or even larger schools if that school is the only high school in town the AD needs to be the AD/Head Football Coach. The schools that have straight ADs rarely win in football and are searching for a new Head Football Coach every year or every other year. A huge chuck of the money that should be going to the head football coach instead is going to the AD and search committees dang near every year or every other year looking for their next head football coach. These ADs only too often micromanage all the sports leading to huge turnovers across the board. Look at all the successful football programs year in and year out in E Texas. All of these programs are run by AD/Head Football Coaches. Most of these programs are very successful in other sports too. Now if you were the parent of a child as gifted as Taylor Tatum is where would you want him going to high school?
  9. Good place to start would be having the AD the Head Football Coach.
  10. At Spring Hill he’d probably be playing in his 5th different offense before the first carry of his Sr year
  11. Doesn't Longview have around 8 or 9 sophomores starting this year? They are young & some are probably adjusting to the speed & strength of the game and their assignments. The really good teams they play often will expose this early in their varsity careers. It will be valuable experience when the playoffs get here.
