How many middle schoolers participate in this?

Why is it so hard to understand that this poll is not a ranking of who would win head to head?  It has been said, typed, explained, rehashed, questioned, reexplained, ans otherwise beat to death.

Right now?  Kountze.

Nothing?

I found myself wondering if the hill is for real? Anyone know?

Great job!  Congrats!

Here is hoping both teams emerge injury free.

If it helps to soothe your worries for next year: Newton has done this very thing for decades and have been more than able to keep momentum from year to year.  Those young guys are getting plenty of experience (and arguably more valuable experience) practicing with and against the starters during the week.  Scoring a couple touchdowns against an overmatched opponent is not going to really help thier development.  It does help to get out there under the lights and in front of a crowd against unfamliar players.  Which is EXACTLY the chance Coach A and staff gave the up and coming guys.  Played it EXACTLY right in my opinion. Truth be told, when you are against a team that is way overmatched you also have to guard against developing bad habits (poor technique etc..) in those games.  Injury risks are also a consideration.

Woodville always plays Newton well.  That has been true since the mid 90s regardless of relative strength.  In that context and taking into account the chaotic state of the Newton program at the moment my prediction is:  Pick em.

In 5 head-to-head games this year 204A holds a 4-1 edge on 194A. In closing, since this all really appears to be nothing more than an attempt to distract from the epic crow feast by trying to bait the mid-county fans into a discussion in which you could try to hop on the Dayton coattails. Therefore, I leave you with this thought:  The hill is NOT for real.

I've got the Jags in this one.

In what manner is 20-4A "crashing"? 

Congrats EC

I'll ask the same question I do every time this question comes up. What do you define as "best"? The team that would be all others in theoritical head to head play? The team with the best/most dominant season from a stats POV? The team that had the most eventual D1/NFL players? Are you talking about a single season or multiple? Only in the state of Texas or Nationally? Depending which definition you use, the answer will vary wildly even from the most objective poster.  The conversation is much more interesting, in my opinion, if you tighten up the parameters of the discussion.

So let me see if I got this right.  The oprginal post translated: "If we had not lost the first two games, we would be 3-0." Well that IS true.

I think people are reading way too much into Newton's loss to Kirbyville. Newton is customarily rough at the start of the season. I also think people look at the score and assume it means Newton is not that good.  The truth is Kirbyville is likely much better than you think. This year's Kirbyville squad may well be as good as the K'ville peeps thought they were the past few.  (And that comment is not meant to be disparaging in any way.)

Frikken Marlin.

I like Newton, Anahuac, Woodville to be the top three.

The Navy & Georgia Tech Flexbones are also "spread" offenses.  True story. I do prefer a strong ground game over a strong air game.  It allows you to control the game much better. 

I don't understand the point you are trying to make with "perversion of spread offenses"  could you elaborate?

Been super busy and unable to post on here much at this point in the season.  That being said, let it not be thought Newton fans can't face a whoopin. Kirbyville fire at will.
