And I believe they got a upgrade at Qb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFootball Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Could be one of those years for Longview. Kinda down year while other teams in the district are hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longview held Forney to 7 last year (and that 7 shouldn't have counted- replay showed that the receiver was WAY out of bounds but the ref blew the call). Then we got a FG blocked, muffed a punt and got a penalty late in the game that basically tried everything to hand them the game. And still won on their field.

This actually reminds me of 2005 a little bit. People think Longview has nothing because of how great the 2024 class was. Same with the 2005 class when they left Longview, and with the 2010 class (Aaron Johnson, Carey Fortson etc). So some doubted the 2005 and 2010 teams going into the season. Well, people forget how special the 2025 class is. They were just sort of overshadowed by the 2024 class. Edited August 21 by ANTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think he is a great QB. From what I saw last year, his accuracy is not the greatest. He had trouble with pressure and staying accurate. He also would take off probably sooner than he needed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longview won’t be down lol. Not predicting an undefeated run or anything like that but Longview will be Longview and people will see soon enough. Forney 100% deserves the be the favorite but Longview won’t be anywhere near what outsiders think they’ll be this year.

The 05 team had a lot of returning talent. Thing is, both 06 and 10 teams lost a lot of games. They grew up quickly, though. Hoping you're right, that this class is special (Longview will always have talent) and I hope they can get it together quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longview has only had like 2 losing seasons in the last 40 years. They were in 1999 and 2000 with two different HCs. Must have just been some weak classes.

Also, the new playoff system all but guarantees a team like Longview going at least 2-3 rounds deep nowadays. The 99 team was tons of turmoil. The 00 team was rebuilding the shambles left after 99.

Yes people knew guys like Vondrell, Trent and Ivory were back...but some were also freaking out because we loss the entire secondary, Malcolm, Adrian Brooks, Roderick Allen and others. The 2005 class was talented as ever but some seemed to forget how talented the 2006 class was. Players like David Robinson and Cortez Beall were afterthoughts going into the 2005 season because of the class before them. Same thing is happening with this team now. The 2024 class was special with Tatum, Nelson, Garrett and co but people are forgetting that the 2025 class is special too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just felt like 05 would be good because of a lot of returning players. Guys like TJ Norris, Adrian Reese, Kelcie Oliver, Cody Williams, the other LB who's name escapes me right now... All came back. Though, yeah, the secondary were some talented guys (a couple of them went to TCU). Heck, even the 03 team lost a lot of guys/talent. They just never seemed to be able to put it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant getting hurt...Malcolm not being available etc. That team also lacked the backfield that 04 and 05 had. With the proper backfield and better availability....watch out for the 03 team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
