Not only that but they have done it (made the playoffs) moving up and down in classification over the last several years right? I mean 5A D2, 5A D1, they were 6A last alignment right? I have a ton of respect for programs that have that winning tradition in multiple classifications. Liberty Hill, Aledo, and Southlake come to mind. There are some other shools headed in that direction...LJ, Argyle. Texas HS Football is simply fascinating to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost district to Marshall in 96, and miss the playoffs in 98, but I am pretty sure they were #1 in the state in 1998 at one point. I believe after that is when they started their incredible run of district championships with only Texas High coming close to them at the 5A level, and a few runs by Marshall. I remember covering a Longview basketball tournament for them when they lost in the state semis to Pflugerville. I am not sure if they have had a losing or "down" season since that game which would have been 14 years ago or so? Yeah, 99 and 00 were kinda a "dark" period for Longview. But in 00, in Midland, Pat Collins benched his Senior QB for Sophomore Joel Armstrong, which really set the tone and let everyone know that things weren't going to be like they used to be. It took a few rebuilding years, but Longview made the playoffs in 01 and hasn't missed them since then. We've been extremely lucky that Coach King has hung around and kept our team and program strong. In the 19 years since King has taken over as Head Coach, Longview has made it to state 4x (won once), the semifinals 6x, the quarterfinals 8x. Also, 15 district championships. Insane. I think he's also only lost 4 games at home too. We'd all love more state titles, sure. We're also lucky to have been this consistently good while other area large classification teams have struggled.

Longview's last run in 5A D2 was that 3 straight years of Regional Semi-Final defeats (11-12-13). I'd throw 2011 in there again as a wasted opportunity as well vs DeKaney.

I'd like to know how they calculate Win Probability, but this is pretty cool and shows just how close this game was. The Aledo coach himself said Longview was one of the toughest teams he ever played. That Tatum fumble was backbreaking. We were moving the ball on that drive, "bAd PlAyCaLl" be damned. I do love how this place uses Five Factors and such. That's some next-gen stuff making its way to the HS game. This was a game of two quarters- the 2nd for Longview and 3rd for Aledo.

Even with that fumble they could of scored again to put game away but defense kept us in it and also aledo bad punt we had two hr delay and three downs couldn't get one yard 🫣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Longview had way plenty of time to do something other than throw deep into double or triple coverage on Hale. Longview just doesn’t have the style offense or QB to really run a two minute drill, which is probably why they just chunked it deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Longview had a QB who can actually sling it around with success, theLobos become SCARY good real fast, especially with Hale, but those opportunities are in the past. QB1 didn’t make a bunch of mistakes, but being stuck with ground and pound and not really being able to switch to a pass heavy offense as needed (like it was needed at the end of the game), hurts your chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with our play calling. Wishful thinking imo. King and his staff had three years with Allen. You should know his strength and weaknesses. Instead of trying to play into them, they just tried bombs. Stupid play calling ultimately ended Longview’s season. Lobos continue to be an amazing program that can’t finish when it’s needed. Is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, that’s what I was alluding to when I said only being able to ground and pound and not being able to pass effectively when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
