Vott Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 While looking ahead to the 2026 season and looking at different teams mostly in 5a 6a and 7a, I was not aware that Long Beach was on a 43 game region losing streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that 6A hasn’t been kind to them, so if Long Beach wanted to stop that long region losing skid, that Gautier matchup would be a prime opportunity for them.

As bad as Long Beach has been, they’ve been in 6A the whole time since we went to 7 classifications. I’m not saying they would be favored against Gautier during the first week of region play, but they shouldn’t be as shell shocked as what Gautier was last year. Long Beach knows what to expect in 6A and they know they’ve got to play up and steal a district win if they want to stop the region play losing streak. I’d like to think Long Beach would have the numbers depth wise to counter a team like Gautier. They just need the motivation and the will to get a district win. They need to fight, dig deep and overcome the obstacles they face in a game while the game is still going on. If Long Beach can do that against Gautier, they’ll get their first district win since 2018 against West Harrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively, they bring back almost everything. On Offense, they have their Quarterback, 2 Wide Receivers, leading Running Back and 2-3 Offensive Linemen coming back. 4 of their 7 losses last season were by a combined 11 points. Their 3 region losses were by 8 combined points. Long Beach is moving back to the veer from what I was told during the spring. They did lose some quality players from this past season's team, but their Quarterback I believe is back and he was pretty shifty. So him in the veer could be pretty tough.

longhorn75 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Honestly, Long Beach should've never run Forrest Williams out of town the way they did. He was the last coach who was successful there. He went 6-5 and he was also the athletic director, and they decided to push him out of Head Football coach, and athletic director and made him an assistant principal. Was the last coach who was good there, and everyone else has been in a tailspin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
