Longview is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They walked away with a 35-28 win over Lancaster.
One reason for the win was Longview's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. Kason Brooks was especially locked on to Lancaster's QB and sacked him five times. Another thorn in Lancaster's side was Jamayis Morrow, who picked up a sack, made 18 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Klein Collins). They blew past College Park, posting a 70-21 victory. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Tigers with their most commanding win of the season.
Longview pushed their record up to 10-2 with the win, which was their 11th straight on the road dating back to last season.

As for Klein Collins, they have been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches, which provided a nice bump to their 7-5 record this season.
Longview didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Klein Collins when the teams last played back in December of 2017, but they still walked away with a 30-24 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Klein Collins' Isaiah Spiller, who rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns.
