    They hung with Crosby and it went down hill for them in the 2nd half. Which makes sense, because they are working with probably 1/3 of the numbers. Which is an argument as to why Newton wouldn't beat PAM. Eventually the numbers and fresh athletes would wear on the smaller schools.

    That would not be the case in a PAM vs Crosby match up

    More speculation

  2. Gilmer, WOS, Silsbee all have good football teams. Newton has and exceptional football team and probably one of the best teams in history for a team of it's size. Im just going to sit back and enjoy the ride. The better, these larger teams that Newton h as s beaten does, the better it makes Newtons Legacy. I hope they all do well and believe they will.

  3. I think you should always support your team. But reality is reality.  Call it like it is not like you want it to be.  I'm not necessarily talking about WOS. You can't have the best team every year.  But as far as WOS is concerned I think very few teams can boast the winning consistency they have proven over the past. Haters gonna hate. The faithful will be faithful.  And the haters love to kick you when you're down. WOS will be fine. And you know what opinions are. And this is mine.

    May end up in the playoffs......lol we may go four or five rounds deep. 4a DII is a crapshoot this year. This thing is up for grabs. Don't count our youngsters out yet just because we got hammered by Carthage. 

    Im not counting you out. Looking at your schedule,  whom you've played, and whom you have to play. I believe you guys turned the ball over 3 tines against carthage. Ive only watched highlights of you guys playing.  I believe you have a great passing game. You may have given up a few points. I believe Carthage game can partly be attributed to turnovers. I believe you have a much better team than your record indicates.  I'm looking forward to the game against Newton.  I believe it will be very interesting and a great test for Newton.  I'm from Newton, and I just see the game as a test for Newton's defensive front and backfield.  I'd like to see Newton put a lot of pressure on the quarterback and, I would like to see great coverage by Newton's defensive backs. And like I said I believe you guys are much better than your record indicates. And certainly better than you are given credit for by most people on this sight.

    Where is the line drawn for 4a d2 "down year" teams vs a team that is 2 divisions lower,......does that mean the years that the smaller school loses vs 4a -d2 teams is in "down years" 

    To be quite honest Gilmer may end up in the playoffs.  I'm kinda echoing the sentiment of most other people on here about Gilmer not necessarily having and average year. But in my opinion a good 4a-d2 team should not lose to a good 3a-d2 team. I think Newton is not a good 3a team. They are a very exceptionally great 3a team this year. 

  6. Gilmer may be down but they shouldn't be taken lightly. They have a good quarterback that can throw the ball well. And several good receivers.  Providing the quarterback gets time to throw. This should be a good test for Newton's defensive backs. Newton doesn't normally play against good passing teams. Hope they are prepared and I'm certain they are going reparing. It will be interesting to see how they do. It will prepare them for the playoffs.

    Lol this is clearly someone who wasn’t at the game. Both these teams stabbed themseleves in the foot a bunch this game. 

     

    WOS played a really solid first half, and Crosby was making unforced mistakes one after another. Clipping on a first down run, celebration call back on a T;, had to of been 6 false starts. 

     

    Crosby then regrouped and came out and stoned WOS offense over and over. Scored 28 unanswered points until 1 late 4th quarter drive made the game look closer. 

     

    No one is pretend ling WOS is amazing but apparently NC and Manvel suck too given how this board reacts to every Crosby win. 

     

    Should we have beat WOS by more absolutely. Did the rain affect both teams absolutely. Does that matter if you are making stupid mistakes for a half and making sure your offense isn’t successful? 

     

    Also we’re having just the most Horrible year with wins over 2-1 New Caney, Manvel, and WOS, lemme tell you bout it.

    Was a good ball game tonite , sitting in the rain and all.

    WOS still has two tough games coming up Jasper and Silsbee, They are battle tested and should be fine. Lookong forward to those games. Hope we didn’t come out too banged up from last night.

    Crosby has a good football squad. I wish them continued success, as they represent our region. They need to cut out the dumb penalties, that could hurt going forward. They might get beat up pretty bad on holding calls if they run into the wrong zebra crew.

    WOS, will beat Jasper and Silsbee

  9. Seems like everyone is full of excuses.  Last week WOS had all sophmores. They where rebuilding. This week Crosby was playing in the rain. WOS gave Crosby everything they could handle.  Crosby is a 5A school with almost three times the kids WOS has. They should beat them every year.  Even if Crosby is having a bad year. They haven't used that excuse yet. But as per WOS they have all sophmores as of last week, and maybe they do. My point is, 5A should beat  small 4A school every year. Stop acting as if you defeated Rome!! 4A should beat 3A. Honestly I believe Crosby has a good team, WOS has played great teams and should have lost by comparative school size. Except to Newton and they are the eighth wonder of the world. As WOS was 2 years ago. I think you should stop making excuses and give credit where it's due. And evaluate your own team fairly. Crosby should have beaten WOS much worse, but they could not, because they aren't good enough. WOS is underated. Which probably a blessing. Keep it real.

    If Cornel turned him down, it was out of spite. He shouldn't let W.T dictate when they play. Newton was too scared to play WOS when they weren't going to win, and now all of a sudden wants some when he thinks he can win. WOS doesn't need Newton. Newton needs WOS. 

    Neither one of these teams need each other. They both stand firm on their own ground. I personally don’t care to see therm playing, due to possible season ending injuries. They are both great programs and represent SETX in their own classification. No need to start unecessary rivalries. IMO

  11. Newton will play better teams than WR. If they continue to make mistakes and be so predictable they will lose. No doubt WR had a great defense. But they will play other teams with equal the defense and a much better offense. Specifically Gunter. If Newton don't address their problems they will lose. Or if they believe the offense played well and don't understand that they need to address problem's. Then they will lose. I'm a Newton fan. But if I was coaching them, ID be saying the defense played well but the offense needs work especially in the passing game. I believe they need to throw it more. I personally would have thrown it much more throughout the season when they where blowing teams out. Seems like every time the game gets close Newton resorts to 1970 tactics and predictably run it every play. 

  12. West Rusk is big and athletic up front. Their QB can run or throw. It's really hard to judge a team when they have few opponents in common. But, I believe this will be a good game. Newton will need to throw the football and make some big plays. Which is what they do every week, as well as a great running game. Newton is well balanced. West is as well. Statistically speaking. Like said, it's difficult to judge without common opponents. They both played Arp. Newton won by a larger margin. West shouldn't be taken lightly. I'll be listening and rooting for the Eagles from Ohio.
