We played the Atlanta Rabbits in playoffs last year. Yes, they have some skilled  players across the board but the Rabbits go as Samples (qb) goes.

It helps when the team we're playing isn't massive, too haha. Samples had to take a beating that game, and he was playing both ways. Y'all had a good squad. Not sure what happened to y'all against Celina. They did have a beast in the middle though.

Hmm. Not a lot of 3A talk happening just yet. 

Well, you just said that "everyone is having their best team in a decade this year apparently", too, LOL.

I don't want to get into a "war of words" with anyone. Lets just say the drought EC has been in the past few years is OVER. EC will not miss the playoffs, EC will not lose the Rice Bowl this year. EC is poised to make a deep run. I think they win the district, maybe go 9-1, and then cruise easily at least to the third round. After that it would just depend.

Well it's what I keep hearing on all the forums lol. Everyone is having the best team they've had in years. Crazy how that happens all of a sudden.

Just read on another forum however that Malakoff will be starting a sophomore QB, as their JR starter has moved. That will shake things up a bit.

That would definitely put you up against Franklin, more than likely, in the 3rd round.

Until proven differently, that statement is 100% correct. 

With that in mind, this would have been an excellent year for Newton to play EC. Just sayin'. 

 

Pump your brakes!  EC don't want no part of Newton this year.  Newton has 2 open dates on their schedule for a reason.

Seriously? Sorry you are so terrified of just the thought of playing Newton. Develop some courage!

EC should not be afraid to play any 3A school in TX. Remember, it wasn't too long ago we beat Newton back to back. Playing stronger teams makes you stronger. EC has the talent, depth and staff to compete. NOT saying they would win!  Good programs should not curl up in the fetal position when faced with a challenge. Playing Newton now would pay off when facing Franklin, etc. later.

Woodville had Newton scheduled, but had to bump them when the new districts were released and we were placed in yet another large district. Lol

WV-Newton would be a great game. Glad you scheduled the game!

Are there really a lack of schools that WILL play Newton? I can't imagine actually being afraid of playing someone in your division, or even under. 

I cannot either!

Newton plays the 1st,3rd and 4th ranked teams in 4ADII the first few weeks of the season. I am saying it now .....Eagles win at least 2 of 3 if not all 3. 

I wish I could go see a couple of these games. Silsbee is returning 4/8 starters. WOS though isn't returning but 3/4. Gilmer is returning 4/5. Gilmer however, is starting a new QB, and I've heard some stories about them looking rough in 7 on 7. 

Who knows though. Gilmer over the last decade and a half, has always managed to field a good team, regardless of who graduates. They'll have something up their sleeve. But they will start (0-1), regardless.

Honestly your "not to long ago" is not even relevant. Going back the past decade to 2008 which includes the two wins u spoke of in 2010  ec 38 newton 28 2011 ec 39 newton 34 (btw the eagles went as far as ec did each year in playoffs).  Newton outscored ec in head to head play 403 to 153. In two games in 2008 it was 96 to 21.  Has not been much / if any progress on closing the gap between ec program and newton's elite program

Two wins are two wins, and they were back to back. You might want to discount it, but I won't. How many other teams can readily say they got the same B2B  wins vs. Newton in that same time period? Not many I bet. Pretty short list.

However you are right. Since then its been down hill. Things are definitely changing now.  The drought is over. This years squad is going to be tuff!  I would rather play Newton or similar than someone like Kountze anytime. Playing the best makes you stronger. JMO.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
