Buccaneers 42 Pirates 7 in 4 live Qtrs. Despite the score, I have to say that I like what I saw from Deweyville. East Chambers is very talented on both sides of the ball. The Pirates offense managed to move the ball well but had a couple costly turnovers in the first half. One being a scoop-and-six for the Bucs defense...21-7 at half. Deweyville dresses only 23 Pirates in total (9th-12th grade) but show to be a scrappy, well conditioned bunch. Looking forward to a great year with Coach Prouse. Go Pirates!

Yes, EC is a talented team, that's why they are picked to finish 4th in their district.

I've been away from SETX football for quite some time. Is Newton still playing 11 player football or are they 6 man?

Heavens no, Newton is very much 11 man, although some of their opponents have stated there seem like 13 or 14 Eagles out there.  There's been some talk about Newton and WOS moving into JUCO Football for competition, but nothing finalized yet.

With only 23 Pirates, that was a decent showing.  Any idea why so few?  Being 2A-D1 I'd expect at least 40 kids out, although WH only has 32 I heard.

Good luck this year Pirates.

Newton's enrollment for high school is over 70 students and that's the truth.

Oh, my apologies....I didn't see the district predictions before I watched the game... The observation from the Visitor side of the field was that they had some talent. Not that they were gonna dominate their district. Wonder why the even bother playing?

We play 6 vs 11 to make it fair for the other guys.

Best of luck to both teams this season! Hopefully Warren and Deweyville will get back on each other's schedule soon... It's been a good series over the years...
