However, the adjustment didn't go as well as planned and the Lions failed to win a game in 2018. But second year coach Finis Vanover is counting on a group that has now had a full year under his system (seven starters return on each side of the ball) to compete for a playoff spot. Head Coach: Finis Vanover Assistant Coaches: Juan Ceballos (Offensive Coordinator), Andy Garza (Defensive Coordinator) Offense: Seven starters return to the Livingston multiple I offense in 2019. Sophomore quarterback Damien Ruiz, who lead the Livingston freshman team to a 9-1 mark in 2018, is expected to take the reins of the Livingston offense. Senior running backs Debrian Rains (2nd team all-district), Cody Dupas and Keon Perkins (a move in from Coldspring-Oakhurst) will share the Lion rushing load. Junior wideout Chris Washington (2nd team all-district) will return to the Livingston receiver group along with senior tight end Jaylen Harrell. Senior lineman Cameron Morris returns to lead a line which will also feature juniors Ladanian Walker, Nigel Henderson and Dannon Beatty. Defense: Seven starters return to the Livingston 4-2-5 defense in 2019. Martin (2nd team all-district at defensive end), Walker, Henderson and Beatty will return to the Livingston defensive line. Harrell and Dupas (2nd team all-district) will line up at linebacker. Washington will anchor the Lion secondary. Special Teams: Special teams positions will be finalized at summer practice.
