Coach Rab Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Darius sr year. Even aaron franklin missed that year because of knee injury. He came back the next year and earned a sooner scholly though. It was 2008 that went bad. Class of 2009. We lost a ton of talent before the season started. In my mind that was supose to be the team to end the lobo streak. I was the athletic trainer that year. The training room stayed full. I was patching up Darius week to week, seemed like we had constant ankle and shoulder injuries. I think if we started with Fitz at QB from week 1, 08 would have been better. Not bc Fitz was better, but it added a new dynamic with Darius as a huge speed threat at slot. I think we lost 3 Srs to season ending injuries and had quite a few lingering injuries that never went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 As i stated earlier it was 2008. So its the 2005 freshmen i was refering to. Class of 2009. In no way am I upset with our 2009 team. We went 3 rounds deep and should have beaten Denison. Also, took it to Texas High and SS in district that year. I thought SS played us tough in 09... but that was probably 08...

mav01 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I think we beat SS somthin like 43-13. It was played in Mt P. The year after they won state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMav Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Bit off on that one. No Longview team has lost to Marshall on any level since 2005 (seniors on 2009 team would've been fish in 2006)... http://www.smoaky.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=144767&page=4&do=findComment&comment=2116193 Marshall went undefeated at the freshman level in 2005 the year we got blasted by HP in the state game including Longview beat you all pretty handily at Maverick Stadium that year there was a plaque in the field house that recognized the season at one point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav01 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 That group of freshmen was special. I have yet to see another freshman team that loaded. Not just marshall but east texas. Think some of them got a little too big headed after that year. The offense could score so many ways and anytime they wanted to it seemed. Defense was hard hitting. The freshmen had a relay team that could have beaten 90 percent of east texas varsity relay teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Dameon and KD were like the triplets they definitely were told they were the best thing since sliced bread starting in junior high KD quit multiple times because he thought he shouldn't have to split carries with Andrew Clough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I loved that kid. He was nice, funny, and fun to be around. But if he put any effort into school and football he would have been playing at a major program without a doubt.

Marshall has had some really nice RB's through the years. KD was #22 Darius and Dameon played QB and WR respectively they both had offers from SEC and Big 12 teams, Darius was the only one that got to sign Dameon sat out his senior year for off the field troubles and that was that...

Mavchamp Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 http://www.marshallmavericks.net Got the Maverick Website (mostly) updated. Still got some work to do on it in the next few weeks. Still need to update the team and staff photos. I'll get that done after media day. Will post the game capsule for the season opener a little closer to game day. But most of it is up and running. Always open to suggestions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlandry Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 any word on the starting qb for longview? did king officially name anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP4L Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Michael Ross earned his spot about 5 seconds into the spring game. One of the better spring game performances I've seen from a Longview QB in a few seasons. Big sleeper in East Texas, all I'll say. Not mention that he arguably was the best QB on the roster last season. He transferred to Longview from Lee during last summer, after spring ball. So he didn't know the playbook very well. The one reason he didn't start last season imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex85 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 coaches poll has longview at 5 and the only other school receiving votes was SS......thought that was kind of shocking when i first looked at it, was expecting to see marshall or t-high maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm surprised Texarkana isn't getting more talk........ Of course, Texas High had a Super Bowl kind of night against us last season according to Tiger fans I spoke to, but they appear to me to be loaded headed into this season. I need to see VAST improvement for the Mav defense over last season for me to pick them any higher than 3rd. JMHO. A vote for SS shocks me too. But history says they will reload not rebuild...... but sheeeeesh. That's about as much as you can lose from one season to the next as any team can. Hard for me to put them ahead of Hallsville and Marshall seeing what they both have coming back. Should be a fun race for 2nd-4th place...... ugh.

This will be one of the few losing seasons for Owens this year. I understand SS and their past but they have nothing. Nothing on JV and nothing returning. Texas High or Marshall deserve that vote if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavchamp Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I know there will be future threads as the season gets closer, but I'm interested in seeing some early thoughts on 15-5A opening night games. Game of the Week: Lufkin Vs. Longview Runner up GOTW: Texas High Vs. Whitehouse Not a snoozer: Hallsville Vs. Carthage Marshall Vs. Royse City Rockwall Heath Vs. Sulphur Springs North Garland Vs. Greenville Jacksonville Vs. Pine Tree Mount Pleasant Vs. Paris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
