GARLAND — Behind a blistering running game, the Longview Lobos rolled up a season-best 49 points to open the postseason with a Class 5A Division II bi-district victory over North Garland on an overcast and chilly Saturday afternoon at Williams Stadium.
Vondrell McGee rushed for a career-high five touchdowns — four coming in the first half — as the Lobos flexed their No. 5 state ranking with a 49-27 win. It marked Longview’s 11th consecutive victory of the season.
North Garland, out of District 11-5A, finishes its season at 7-4. It was the first-ever meeting between the two schools in football. The Lobos were the 12-5A district champions.
Longview finished with 515 yards total offense, running for 403 behind McGee’s 182 on 16 carries. Quarterback Carlin Freeman completed 6 of 10 passes for 112 yards with one touchdown pass and a two-point conversion throw.
