FULL GAME LOG

GAME PREVIEW & SERIES REVIEW:
From 2-2 to 4-2, how two weeks can change the entire feeling of a season. After opening the 2024 season with two wins against East Texas foes, the Longview Lobos suffered back to back loss at home for the first time in two and a half decades. Granted, both of those teams were ranked #2 in their respective states and coming off appearances in each's state title games. However, expectations at Longview are what they are. And two losses, to teams the Lobos have dominated throughout the years in South Oak Cliff and Ruston were not acceptable. Since then, the entire shift of a season has changed for Longview. After opening district with a stunning 63-34 victory over Rockwall, ending the Yellowjackets' 17-game district winning streak, the Lobos showed up to Forney expecting a battle after last season 13-7 slugfest between the two. However, what we received was a complete blow out in favor of the Lobos. Longview streamrolled Forney, 41-14, in a game that was not even as close as the final score suggestions. Kelvin Washington, a week have registering a Lobo record 8-touchdowns in a singel game vs Rockwall, pushed out four rushing scores once again to lift the Lobos to their 17th consecutive district win. The district winning streak sits tied for fourth longest in Lobo history. In the 5 times Longview has won 17 or more district games in a row, four of them have now come under John King's reign as head coach. With the win, the Lobos moved to 3-0 all-time against a Jackrabbits club that is searching for answers a year after making the State Semi-Finals in 5A Division I. This leaves just two undefeated teams in 10-6A, in Longview's return year to Class 6A. While North Forney is having one of their best seasons thus far in school history, Longview will move back to Lobo Stadium to take on long time rival in the Tyler Legacy Red Raiders. Legacy seems themselves in a position they have not seen in quite a while, a winning record in district play after three games. The Red Raiders, after upsetting Rockwall Heath in overtime to open district, fell to North Forney a week ago prior to pulling out a 7-point win over Royse City this past Friday. The Red Raiders (3-4, 2-1) have turned their season around after opening the season with three straight ugly defeats including two to 5A Division II schools in Marshall and Texas High. The Lobos and Red Raiders meet for the 65th time on the gridiron this coming Friday, with the first meeting coming back in 1960. It has been a series the Lobos have nearly completely dominated over the years, but especially since 2003. Since dropping a Homecoming decision 18-14 back in 2003, the Lobos have reeled off 19 consecutive against their Rose City rivals and many of those games have not been close. Last season ended in a 28-7 Longview victory, after a storm delayed the game once the teams got to halftime and caused the game to become a half game. The 28 points were the lowest the Lobos have scored against the Red Raiders since 2008. Of course being a half game, the Lobos still were able to put up some impressive numbers in just two quarters, which saw Longview dominated throughout. The two teams return to Lobo Stadium to finish their match up, with Longview having won their last 9 games against the Red Raiders at home. Overall, the Lobos bring a 48-14-2 record all-time against Tyler Legacy. The Red Raiders get their wins in spurts against the Lobos, with a three game winning streak occurring from both 1963 to 1965 and 1969 to 1971, prior to their longest winning streak of five against Longview from 1998 to 2002. The Lobos will be shooting for school history on Friday night with their winning streak of the Red Raiders. From 1969 to 1987, Longview defeated Marshall 19 consecutive games. With the Lobos holding a 19-game winning streak that tied the school record last season, Longview will look to knock off the Red Raiders once more and set their school record of 20 consecutive wins against a single team for the first time in school history. The biggest goal, no doubt however, has to be Longview keeping pace with North Forney, who sits at 3-0 in district. North Forney gets their first big test of the district season as they travel to Rockwall this week. A win over Tyler Legacy would pull the Lobos to within one win of their 24th consecutive playoff appearance.

Damn that boy is on a roll. 12 td's and almost 800 yards of offense in 2 games is ridiculous.

No doubt Boosie is putting on a show this year for us. But it's beyond shocking to see only TWO Longview players with rushing scores this season (the only other being Maverick with two touchdowns).

I'm hoping we can see Mason or Buster get something going on Friday vs Lee so not everything is on Boosie's shoulders.

I'll give you this nugget....the two single best RB season performances in Lobo history are undoubtedly 1997 Talley and 2004 Vondrell. 

Boosie has 1,050 on the ground in 6 games.

In 1997, Talley had 716 through the first 6 games.

In 2004, Vondrell had 944 through the first 6 games.

So yeah....Boosie is not playin' around. He's literally putting on a season so far from the RB position that Lobo fans have never seen before. We haven't even discussed the damage he has done on the receiving end and special teams.

I actually would be cool with about 10 carries for Boosie on Friday (that may be all he'll need to crack 100 anyway). Mason, Pereira and Buster probably need to be the bell cows Friday. Or, work on the passing game more.

Out all the running backs that have come through Longview since I've been alive. The one's that I have witnessed or can remember seeing play starting in the 80's until now. Vondrell was my favorite. You couldn't tell me nothing about him. I guess our connection is that we share the same name being Von. I must same Bossie is about to take his spot. That's hard for me to say. But damn. How can you not root for a guy like Bossie.

I didn't say Bossie was better than Vondrell. I just reiterated that he is about to be my favorite. He keeps up with this trajectory and he will take his spot as my personal favorite Longview running back.

There was a crowd last year that thought Boosie was better than Tatum...

I don't think Boosie is better than Tatum, overall.

But this definitely feels like he's writing his name into Lobo legend already.

No doubt, Taylor is going to do amazing things. But it always felt like it was the Tatum show while he was at Longview. And of course, now we're going to start showing up at Lobo games just to see what Boosie can and will do that night, but the entire approach is different.

He just wants to win and is doing everything possible for the team to win.

I dunno, it definitely just feels different compared to the last two seasons.

Dang 19 meetings . Lobo has owned Tyler schools!! Is this the longest active streak? I assume y’all play every year!

Currently, yes.

19 game is the school record tied with the Marshall series back in the 70s and 80s.

If not for the 2015 loss to Marshall, that streak would've set the record already four years ago. But of course, the loss happened.

Lobos going for win #20 in a row over the Red Raiders.

Winning Streaks Over One Team -
19: Tyler Legacy (2003 to 2023) {Active} | Marshall (1969 to 1987)
14: Marshall (2001 to 2014)
11: Texas High (1985 to 2015) {Active} | Waco (1964 to 2001) {Active}
10: Rockwall (1934 to 2024) {Active}

9 game winning streak list has 6 teams all-time on it with 3 active. Lobos have a chance next season to have Marshall become first team in school history with three 10-game losing streaks against the Lobos.
