In the heart of East Texas football lore, the Longview Lobos prepare to host the Tyler Legacy Raiders in a clash that spans over six decades. Set in the iconic Lobo Stadium, this matchup, steeped in history and tradition, marks another chapter in the 21st season of the Great American Rivalry Series. 

The Lobos, holding a commanding series lead of 48-14-2, aim to continue their gridiron dominance against the Raiders.

With a packed house of 10,000 fans expected, the atmosphere promises to be electric as both teams look to etch their name in the annals of this storied rivalry. 

Adding to the excitement are the NFL-caliber alumni from both schools, including Longview’s Willie Andrews and Tyler Legacy’s Matt Flynn, highlighting the rich football pedigree that defines this matchup. As kickoff approaches on October 18, one thing is certain: East Texas football lives and breathes through this historic rivalry.
