lobos Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Longview will face Garland Sachse at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, at Dallas' Kincaide Stadium. Longview comes into their 6th consecutive Area Round game fresh off a 24-3 victory over Temple. Longview, leading 7-3 at the half, exploded in the 3rd quarter for 17 points. Longview attempted just one pass in the first half. The win marked Longview's 6th straight win the bi-district round of the playoffs after their shock upset against South Garland in 2005. The Lobos last loss in the Area round came in 2006 when the Garland Owls blocked a field goal at Texas Stadium to defeat Longview 24-21. Since that loss, the Lobos are 2-0 against the Garland ISD. Longview also returns to Lobo Stadium West, better known as Kincaide Stadium. Since first playing Dallas Carter there in 2007, Longview has amassed a perfect 7-0-0 record at Kincaide with six of the wins coming in playoff action. Longview's win over Temple also gave Longview their fifth consecutive season of winning 10 or more games in a season. It is the 8th time in 10 seasons that Longview has grabbed at least 10 wins in a single season. Under Coach King, Longview has recorded 10 wins every year but once. In 2006, Longview ended the season 9-3. Garland Sachse enters the game with their first ever 8 win season. Last week's playoff victory was the school's first ever. The Mustangs knocked off Dallas Jesuit with a 42-yard touchdown with 40 seconds remaining on the clock, winning the game 49-42. Sachse had previously lead the game 35-13 before the Rangers mounted a comeback to tie the game. The two teams then traded touchdowns before Sachse scored the winning touchdown. The previous mark for most wins in a season for the Sachse program was in 2005 when they recorded their one and only winning season prior to this season when they finished 6-4. Who do you think will win! 8)
