LAST FIVE GAMES IN SERIES: First Meeting.FULL GAME LOG GAME PREVIEW & SERIES REVIEW: The Longview Lobos knew they would be tested this season. It was just a matter by whom, and when. It came in the form of week five’s opponent, the Lancaster Tigers. Meeting for the third season in a row, but first in the regular season, the two teams have formed a healthy rivalry with the Lobos eliminating the Tigers in the playoffs the last two years. With a district title looming, the two schools didn’t disappoint in the battle. The Tigers controlled the first half, jumping out to a 13-7 lead and picking off Lobo senior quarterback twice, the first two interceptions Allen had thrown this season. In the second half, the Lobos showed why Lobo Stadium is such a hard place to come and win, with the Lobo defense shutting out Lancaster the rest of the way while Taylor Tatum added two touchdowns to lift Longview to a 21-13 victory. The win keeps Longview undefeated on the season at 5-0, but most importantly sitting 2-0 in district play. The win lifted John King to his 100th district victory as head coach of the Lobos in his 109th district contest. With a bye week behind us, the Forney Jackrabbits now stand in Longview’s way of fully claiming the district crown as the Jackrabbits sit as the only other district squad with an unblemished district record. Forney dominated West Mesquite in their district opener, 43-14, before dominating Lufkin, 41-21, at home. This is the second straight season for Forney to start district at 2-0, after having gone 1-13 in district contests in their previous two years. Forney’s 4-1 mark is its best start since starting 5-0 in 2015. Longview welcomes in Forney for the first time in its history to Lobo Stadium. After the win over Lancaster, the Lobos improved to 204-38-6 all-time at Lobo Stadium, dating back to it’s opening in 1976. The win over the Tigers was the 10th straight at home, and the 30th win out of the last 31 games there. Overall, the Lobos are 85-6 under John King at home. The Lobos also will be looking to clinch a winning record for the 22nd consecutive season, dating back to 2000. Overall, a win would give the Lobos their 81st winning season in 113 seasons of Lobo football.

Mr. P Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 A week off to lick our wounds, regroup, and get back on track. Lancaster exposed some things. It's good to catch vulnerabilities early. So let's LOBO UP and get the momentum going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingwolf Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Thoughts I posted on the other board. Forney seems to be a pretty solid and disciplined team. They have a good scheme and size with speed at most of the skill positions. One thing we don't seem in most spread teams is the TE. They use it pretty well in their offense. The short and intermediate passing game is solid. QB play is pretty sound, no a world beater but solid HS QB. Reminds me a lot of those decent Rockwall and Mesquite Horn teams we saw back in district several years ago. It is clear that Longview will be more athletic and talented. This is the right kind of team that can be irritating and dangerous if we don't put them away early. Their coach is familiar with East Texas football and knows what we bring. We should win soundly but wouldn't be surprised for a closer than should be game if we come out flat. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequently, I think the coaches sensed that and decided to ride the running game. I think there will come a point in time in the playoffs when the Lobos won't be able to be 1 dimensional and the QB play will make or break them. Just my observation and opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like they really got after Lufkin. Lufkin had their chances. If their QB could throw better, it would have been a better game early on. But I do agree that they are dangerous...They mix it up really well and kept Lufkin off balance. They had enough athletes to handle Lufkin.

Sounded like they really got after Lufkin. They weren’t that physical to me on offense. But they mixed it up well. We honestly just didn’t play well on either side of the ball. We had too many turnovers and didn’t have an offense that could make them pay imo. Y’all won’t have the same problems that we did playing them. Again…just my opinion.
