Lobos.

That 03 game was insane. Really close game at half and Lobos just blew it open. Throw in the ridiculous amount of penalties. That was a peak rivalry game at that time.

First post updated.

Longview finished with just 10 passing yards on the night. That is the fewest passing yards since finishing with 10 against North Little Rock back in 2012 (as a Lobo win). Fewest amount in a playoff game since just grabbing 8 against South Garland in 2003. Fewest amount in a playoff game that Longview won since finishing with 8 as well back in 1986 against Highland Park...another Quarterfinal game. Hopefully next week doesn't end like that season did the following week vs Plano.

Yep

Which is why he has 0 offers from any colleges?

Bring On SOUTHLAKE CARROLL

Come on Claude. I want to hear that post game talk like you did last week after Willis.

I mean, the Heath game he played to lose. Plain and simple. He’s become a conservative coach in his alter years. We’ll see how conservative he keeps it in this second half.

When I tell you, they came out to start the game thinking this would be a cake walk, it’s a complete understatement.

They pregamed in no gear, just shorts and tees. Talked and taunted our side the entire time. Just as you would suspect a Claude Mathis led team would do.

He thought it would be a cake walk is what he thought.

Eagles could get back into this, but I couldn’t be prouder of our boys. DeSoto and their coach has talked smack all week, so much that had to take the replay down of their game last week with how much he talked after. Lobos showed up and showed out, after DeSoto pregame antics and overconfidence. This is the Longview team I had hoped we’d see all season. Can not be more proud.

This is what happens when you stroll out there talking crap in the pregame and act like this team you’re playing doesn’t even matter, which they’ve done all week. Claude, keep talking your mouth cause the LOBOS are here.

Loooooooooboooooooos!!!!!!!

Game day. Do the impossible Lobos.

Lobos.

We should’ve taken them to the woodshed too. We had 4 or 5 fumbles that night. Wish I had a copy of both of those two games against them in district. Two fantastic football games back and forth.

Was supposed to say less than spectacular lol

I think anyone who was in that stadium for bi-district will say it felt like a complete loss walking out of there after that game against Naaman Forest. It was the same feeling after three quarters over at Kincaide. Obviously the last half vs Collins was spectacular but the last 5 quarters overall is the best this team has played all season. Just glad Boosie got the single season rushing record, among the many he could still break on Saturday including the all-time touchdown record in a season which I thought Tatum had made impossible to catch. Glad Tre has been able to start two in a row on the biggest stage up to this point. Glad the defensive is continuing to do their job, and keep our season alive, like they have all year long. Wish we were a little healthier, but every team is beat up at this point. If you would've told most us after the Naaman game that we would be in the State Quarterfinals this season, we would've all laughed in your face tbh with how bad of a performance it was....in a half empty stadium at that.

I mean, I still voted Longview in a close one even though I think we'll lose. They earned it from me after picking Lancaster to blow us out two weeks ago. DeSoto could easily blow us out with how good they are tbh. Just going into this one hoping to compete. Team has already gone further than I expected.

I don't think there's even a single Longview fan that believes we're actually going to win on Saturday. But that's never stopped Lobo fans from supporting their Lobos. I would be 100% shocked if we're able to pull out a result against THIS DeSoto team of all teams. They are absolutely loaded. That said, they haven't looked anywhere near as good as I expected them to. Granted both of their losses are to North Crowley and Duncanville, two teams that would shred us as well. But I thought this was going to be their greatest of all-time type of team as we headed into the year. Longview will show out on Saturday night, whether we win or lose. It's all about building towards next season imo. Tre being thrown to the dogs will do nothing but help us in 2025.

100% 2020 vs Ryan is the first thing that popped in my mind. Granted I don't think DeSoto's defense is anything like that Ryan team. That might be one of the best defenses we've ever faced in program history to be honest. But yea. Honestly, just look at 2023 Lancaster in the second half. I don't think we had a single first down in that second half, but almost everything we did was on the ground until the final "drive."

I said it watching SOC back in September when they came back on us. I said it watching SOC vs the Mavs on Friday night. I find it hard to believe someone in 5A D2 is going to be able to handle them. Obviously bad games happen here and there, but they're at a next level when it comes to talent in that division. I just don't see it happening. Mavs have absolutely nothing to hang their heads about. Great season, easily could've won the district title if not for a bizarre play calling on the 2-point conversion against one of the teams I thought might compete with the Bears. Keep building up.
