It’s what makes our game of football loved across the state of Texas. For the Longview Lobos and the Lufkin Panthers, the 87th edition of their long stand rivalry stands at an interesting intersection. Fresh off being district mates for the first time in nearly two decades, the Lobos and Panthers resume their non-district series with the Lobos having dominated the Panthers by an 98-7 scoreline the last two seasons. The wins marked the second largest back to back wins over the Panthers in program history for the Lobos. It also helped extend Longview’s winning streak over the Pack to seven games, the longest in program history. Since ending Lufkin’s 11-game winning streak back in 2007, Longview has controlled the series apart from a year or two by winning 15 of the last 19 meetings. Four of those 19 meetings were playoff games. Despite this, the two programs head into the 2024 campaign on different paths. Longview opens their 115th season with many questions. After being top Class 5A each of the last two seasons, gone are the days of Taylor Tatum and Jalen Hale with a host of new Lobos looking to make a name for themselves. Questions surround the program following the blowing of a 14-lead in last season’s Regional Semi-Final against Lancaster. Talent will not be lacking at Longview, but with a jump back up into Class 6A and a return to facing the likes of Rockwall and Rockwall Heath, along with two new programs in North Forney and Royse City, can the Lobos continue their high level of play? Lufkin, on the other hands, remains in Class 5A but with many different faces. The hope around the Panther program as they head into 2024 continues to build as Lufkin feels this is their best chance at a district title since 2019. Lufkin was given a life line in their deep playoff hopes by moving over to Region 3 after previously being put in a district with the likes of Highland Park, Joshua, Cleburne, Burleson Centennial, Midlothian, Red Oak and Tyler. Distance alone would have been beyond taxing on the Lufkin Panther team who is vying for their first playoff berth since 2020. Along with their good fortunates provided by the UIL, Lufkin returns a host of players that have heightened the exception again in Panther town. A belief that Lufkin can not only beat the Lobos, but win district and advance deep into the playoffs is the highest it’s been in Lufkin in a long time. As Longview and Lufkin head into their 87th meeting, Longview looks to continue that momentum against the Panthers. The Lobos have stretched the overall series against the Pack to 45-37-4, tying their largest lead in the history of the series. Longview will also head into Abe Martin Stadium looking to win their school record 5th in a row at Abe Martin. The Lobos have defeated Lufkin each of the previous two meetings they have faced off at Abe Martin Stadium. Longview also defeated Beaumont West Brook and Port Arthur Memorial in their current four-game winning streak in Lufkin.

The Lobos lost the ball 5 fumbles due to fumbles but still managed to outgain the Mavs, 325-235. In 2013, despite leading the entire game, Longview saw Coppell tally for 20 unanswered points in the 4th quarter from Allen’s Eagle Stadium in a 32-24 Cowboy win to open the season. Longview’s Dezmond Chumley threw for 228-yards and two scores in the loss. The Cowboys added their final touchdown with 6 seconds to play. In 2019, despite threw turnovers, the Lobos were able to hold off Lufkin’s fourth quarter surge to knocked off the Panthers at Abe Martin Stadium, 24-21. The Lobos outgained the Panthers 471-357, but a late interception deep in Lobo territory had to see the Lobo defense come to live to stop the Pack. Haynes King’s 6-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter proved to be the game-winning touchdown. Edited July 22 by LoboFan07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokedOut Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Been a blowout the last few years. I don’t see it changing this year. Good grief. Lufkin is going to log some serious miles with this new alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacdragon07 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) There have been some instant classics in this series, and it is no secret that if you ask both teams, they will say that this is the real rivalry instead of Nacogdoches and Lufkin and Marshall and Longview. Yes, Lufkin looks to be improved, but I still see Longview winning this in a close one. Edited July 20 by nacdragon07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTI Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I'm not saying Longview isn't capable, but another blowout on the level of the last 3 matchups would shock me a little bit. History shows that Longview almost always comes out flat Week 1, especially when on the road. Even in wins....even with some of our best teams. I think Longview has more depth but this is a talented Lufkin senior class too. I'll wait until after the scrimmages to predict a winner but I will say that I don't think the winner scores more than 30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 "On paper" this is a 17- to 24-point win for Longview... But games ain't played on paper. I expect Lufkin to roar out the gate, and keep fighting to the final whistle. They've got some solid young talent that will be coming of age. Longview is notorious for starting the season slow, especially in opening weeks. I am counting on numerous mind-boggling flags, several missed connections between QB and WR. Blown coverages. The usual. I say it stays close for 4 quarters, after Lufkin jumps out to an early lead, but Longview pulling away very late. Lobos win +1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackAttack Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Well, figuring that Coach Quick has not had much success against John King teams no matter the talent level at his disposal should factor into this game. Lufkin missing the playoffs three years in a row should factor into this game, you just don't turn things around on a dime just because you suddenly feel there is some special talent. The Panthers are still coached by the same guys, at least on the offensive side of the ledger. Yes, this was considered a special group of freshmen three years ago. That hasn't transitioned well the last two years. Another thing to consider, who has been building a football program the last few years, it hasn't been Lufkin. Think Lufkin is substantially improved from the last two years, however Longview has dominated some of this same group these past two meetings too. The question should be, will Lufkin be improved enough to close a four score gap from the past two years? Base on that factor, I'm thinking DCTF will have Longview at least a 10 point favorite in this game, even played in Lufkin. Then again sometimes there are those rare occasions one can throw out past factors. You just never know, this game might be one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they have another D1 prospect in Gavin Phillips steppin in. Biggest difference is going to be at QB. Johnson is a D1 athlete playing QB in the 26 class for Lufkin. Lufkin is gonna be pretty solid this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson should have started at QB last year as a SOPH, might have been a rough early go for him, but he would have improved and had valuable experience. Unfortunately that has to come this year as a Junior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that has to come this year as a Junior. Yes he should have. He just adds an element we haven't had in a really long time. He's going to make some runs this year that will remind us that are old enough of #16. I don't know if he's a D1 QB but he's definitely a D1 athlete that will play major college football one day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, an absolute home run: Those who were aware of the major financial crisis that Lufkin ISD was in, should realize what a truly amazing feat this is. Balanced budget AND a teacher raise? To be perfectly blunt, it's nothing short of miraculous. I still can't believe Longview ISD fumbled the bag on this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
