I'd say soc and Ruston  better then Rockwall two losses 🤷

I realize that is a bold statement, but could SOC beat North Crowley or could Ruston beat Lake Travis? Could SOC beat Lake Travis and could Ruston beat North Crowley? Both would be great games, but I "think" those two teams on Rockwall's schedule are better than the two teams vs. Longview. No doubt both have had to fight their way to get to this game. Gonna be a great game Friday night in Longview, Texas.

I can’t even remember the last time Longview lost 3 consecutive games.  Without looking it up I would guess 2000 or 2001.  That’s insane. 

Could be 4 in a row. Forney has looked like a shell of themselves but that roster is too talented and I think it’s only a matter of time before they click and that game is in Forney. If things don’t change I can very well see us dropping the next two.

i’m never one to bet against my lobos but I just haven’t seen anything yet this season to be optimistic about. And it’s not because we are 2-2.  Hurndon being called up could be a game changer but if you know the staff at Longview you know we won’t see him or use him near as much as we should. Same staff that only managed to get jalen hale 50 catches in back to back seasons. It just seems like the same ole story at Longview and we don’t have the freakish talent of the 23/24 classes to make up for it this time.

I got into a wormhole on schedule between Rockwall-Longview....so used the two main computer ranking services to rate the TX teams....I listed Ruston as #2 since they beat Midland Legacy by a larger margin than Lake Travis did since it was a common opponent....

Longview opponents

#2 Ruston

#4 SOC

#5 Lufkin

#6 Marshall

Avg Opp Rank 4.25

 

Rockwall opponents

#1 North Crowley

#3 Lake Travis

#7 Lewisville

#8 Berkner

#9 Royse City

Avg Opp Rank 5.6

 

Schedule edge goes to Longview haha

 

Ruston and Midland? Now that's a long drive, wow

Lake Travis maybe because they’re not what they used to be but still good. North Crowley on the other hand would roll both Ruston and SOC

Ruston would handle Lake Travis IMO......Lake Travis/SOC would be a good one but I'd lean to Lake Travis in that one

I think so too…Ruston Head Coach Baugh has a lot of history in East Texas. Going to be a good game against Stephenville on Saturday

We will let you know very soon because the Forney Jackrabbits are coming to Royse City this Friday night. Forney has got to a very talented team. They have a tremendous amount of athletes leading that team.  Maybe the jump to 6A was a little more than they thought.

Lake Travis getting a lotta respect from the Harris Ratings.  Number 11 isn't too shabby.

2000.

Lost to #8 John Tyler, 27-14, before Tyler Lee, 42-28, then Marshall, 38-28.

Lost three in a row in 1999.

Before that, it was 1971.

Lobos had a chance to lose 3 in a row in 2014, but were able to hang onto a win over Neville.

Is this a down year for the LOBOS

Defense is just extremely young, and then throw in the injuries we've had (up to 6 starters) and it's been a mess on that side.

O line hasn't been solid. we have a QB who can't see over the O Line.

Throw in coaching has been horrendous, and yea.

Not the best start. But we'll see out of the bye week.

Rockwall is the clear favorite.

Yes, they were blown out by North Crowley, but that’s going to happen to a ton of teams this year.

They nearly beat Lake Travis at LT with their backup QB. They put up a 60 spot this week. 

Unless King had a come to Jesus moment, this could be an absolute blowout for our boys. But, gonna choose to believe King has seen the light and made the appropriate changes.

We’ll see.

My guess is King does what king does.

So a kid that could be a game changer on varsity has been on JV?

Well he’s a freshman and you know there’s only been one other freshman under John king to play on varsity (Jalen Hale). Kid is almost a Jalen Hale clone lol he’ll have his pick of where he wants to play college ball by the time he leaves Longview.

I dont have a problem with Coach King letting the freshman season a bit on JV....massive jump from junior high to 6A varsity football...nothing wrong with playing 4 games on JV letting him adjust and then bring him along to varsity...especially in Longview's system where they dont throw a ton anyway...let him play on JV, be the man and build confidence..

Hale played one scrimmage with the freshman and dominated it similar to hurndon and was called up for week 1 of the regular season and we only got him 7 catches in a  season  where receiver wasn’t a strong point in the team 🤦🏽‍♂️
