Offical/'Bos 32nd in Nation     LongviewLoboFootball.cjb.net has just been claimed TexasHsFootball.com's offical Longview Lobo Website! The following is from PrepNation.com.. 32nd. Longview (Texas) The coach: John King (0-0, first year) 2003: Class 5A Bi-District Finalist, 7-4 The record: The Lobos only state championship came in 1937. The resume: Longview is coming off of back-to-back seasons that could be considered successful, yet disappointing at the same time. The Lobos have had successive wins over Louisiana power Evangel Christian, but injuries and an inability to push past (now former) district rival Lufkin have held them back. The 2004 has seven starters back on a fast and punishing defense led by CB Corderra Hunter (6-3, 190). The offense returns a strong nucleus that features standout WR Malcolm Kelly (6-4, 206). Other Mentions- Southlake Carroll 7th Katy 9th Evangle Christian 12th
