I think the absence of #8  in those two big games made it closer than should have been. I know he was out in other games but it showed  against a good team.

Is he gonna be playing this week?

 

Didn't think so.

 

This is my annual "I Don't Really Want Either Team to Win" Bowl.... but I'm picking Los Tigres in a close one.

If Newton can get their passing game clicking, I agree they will be better than last year. My only worry is depth. I hope they can bring up some freshmen to help them in blowout games, if they have any.

Probably during District play they will move some people up and let them get much needed varsity experience.  I really don't see much of a threat during district play. CC may have a good team but they won't be able to play with Newton. And if they move a lot of kids up to play during second half of the game it will give the bread and butter some rest. No disrespect, but I just see District play as prep for the playoffs. It's a foregone conclusion, in my mind.

I agree with that.

Nope, he’s not and Newton showed they didn’t need him to win. So never put everything into one player bc it takes a whole team to win.

Newton has a very good player on both sides of the ball out for all of pre-district. With that said, I see Newton being a little down, especially due to depth. I think Silsbee has a better chance at winning this game now. Though, I still have to go with Newton until proven otherwise. It just hurts not having a good player while playing good teams like Silsbee, WOS and Gilmer. 

If you are gonna let the cat out the bag, then pull it all the way out. 3 contributing players are out,

If people do not think losing Barlow, Foster, Brown, and Walker will hurt Newton... they are delusional. Still going to be a very very good 3A team, but I will take Silsbee in this game by 3. 

Thats not always the case. Good teams lose great talent all the time and them turn around and still have a perfect regular season. Newton may not be as good as last year but they are still dangerous. As the Great Ric Flair said....To be the Man,WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! You gotta beat the man. And Newton is the man until someone proves otherwise

I still believe Newton is the best 3A football team in Texas. I also believe Newton may very well lose two-three games this season between Silsbee, WOS and Gilmer. I do believe they will give all three teams hell and possibly win those games. Either way, Newton is very good and will benefit from the three mentioned teams. Go, Newton!

They were not a good team. They were a great team. 3A division 2 teams DO NOT lose 3 BIG TIME D1 athletes and just reload. Now, I still think Newton is one of the best 3a teams in the state. They might even win it again. That does not mean that they are still anywhere close to as good as last year. It is not possible.

They are one of the best 3A division 2 teams in Texas for sure. I agree with what you are saying

It may be possible! I think it is. Even if they lose all three of these games. Silsbee, WOS and Gilmer jave considerably better teams than they had last year. If Newton stays close or wins one are all three of these games, I think they may have a better team than last year. Newton will improve considerably as the year progresses.  But time will tell ,and make geniuses or dummies out of us.

    • 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.
