Fans attending Longview High School home football games at Lobo Stadium should plan ahead this season as several usual parking areas are unavailable because of ongoing bond construction projects at LHS. Campus-area parking is expected to fill quickly on game days. Fans are encouraged to arrive early and review the Lobo Stadium and campus-area parking map before heading to the stadium.

Longview pushed No. 1 Ruston deep into the fourth quarter Friday night before the Bearcats pulled away late for a 36-22 victory at Hoss Garrett Stadium.
