True Dat!! Discipline, they really been struggling with it all year

Newton with about 100 yards in penalties and 3 touchdowns called back. Very sloppy and lack of discipline. Newton has already had one player ejected for fighting

14-12 Newton at the Half

CC May need those 11 points+

Maybe! Dangerfield has great athletes. JMO, they need coaching or discipline

It's really hard to tell if District 11 will be a challenge with so few common opponents. It does seem most teams in district 11 are very equal. And I believe Dangerfield gave Gunter everything they could handle. So it would appear they have some really good teams. Curious to see how all the other teams in Newton's district does in the playoffs

Athletes get better by being in a great program, great strength programs, great coaching, backing by school administration, fan base. Success breads success. Become a winner consistently. Then if you want to play Allen or Lake Travis then go for it, if you believe that will make you better. But you must first consistently be successful and get the players, parents,fans and administration to believe in the program. Then slay Goliath if you like.

Well if they had played Newton's non conference schedule they would just had 3-4 more losses and a lot of injuries. And I don't think they would be better for it. Until they consistently have great athletes, great coaching and a great fan base to support them, I don't think if they played Ohio State and Alabama it would help them.

Newton didn't play like a team that will be in contention for a third consecutive state championship. Poor blocking in the offensive line. Poor adjustments by the defense. I know they scored a lot if points but, I think they played poorly. I've never called the coaches out before, but I think they just didn't adjust well. They need to fix the offensive line. And putting pressure on the quarterback and allowing him to run it up your gut, series after series. They only thing that stopped him is that he went out with and injury. If they don't improve, they don't get out of their Region.

Newton is just as good this year as last. Specifically the team thst played the last 2 games. Without their star receiver in the last 2 games made a tremendous difference. Newton is better than that team now. Williams is a very proficient quarterback and will improve tremendously during District play when everything is not riding on his shoulders. And they will get a few things ironed out with the running backs, which they have plenty of. They probably will use the sophomore, whom I believe is already the better player in different roles. But overall I believe they will have a better team this year than last. Tbese or just my observations. I've stated that I thought Newton would lose this game to Gilmer, but after watching the Gilmer game on YouTube, I'm saying it yan go either way and this point leaning towards Newton. Gilmer has considerably improved team from last year. So even with a Newton loss, I still believe they will have a better team than last year. JMO. Hopefully they will not sustain any injuries and I believe they will play better in District and the playoffs than last year. If that's possible.

Not quicker than I thought. Williams actually was the better throwing QB last yearas a sophomore. But he lacked confidence. By the end of District Play he may have reason to strut like a peacock. And let me say this now. They will be at the top of the heap next year as well. Having said that, they may not even win this game against Gilmer. But after watching the Gilmer , Carthage game on YouTube, I have even more confidence in Newton. But it will be all out War. Newton doesn't have down years, as per say. Cmon, if you call a regional Championship a down year. IMO, Newton is actually on their way up. They will continue to improve their program year after year JMO. Only advice I would offer, and nobody's asking me. But like every other genius on this site. I'm going to give it. Develope throwing, athletic quarterbacks. That's been my only knock on the program over the past 50 years. Very few throwing QB in Newton. Williams will prove to be by for the best and will be the measuring stick for Quarterback's in the future at Newton. I'll see all you Newton folks mid December at Jerry's. Have a great Day!!!

BTW Who is the Big Star on Newton's team? I'm going with everybody or nobody, or everybody

He doesn't seem to be a effective runner. But he will get rid of it, and live to fight another set of downs

I agree and I agree

I'm definitely not betting against them. I'm a big fan. If Newton wins this game, no ther 3A D2 team will even stay close.

I think Gimer pulls this game out and breaks Newton's win streak. Hope I'm wrong.

I'll be so glad when District play starts. Hard to survive these type of games without injuries. But Newton is as advertised. And so is WOS. Two great teams and a great game But honestly, both teams definitely have some improvements they can make. With or without improvements they both have a very good chance at winning state in their respective divisions. But they will both get better because of this game. Congratulations to Newton, they found a way to pull it out. Get ready for more of the same next week.

Newton has a lot of Sophmores on Varsity. They don't have enough kids to compete with larger classifications of schools. They can't field 2 good teams that can compete. Varsity will compete however. Not trying to make any excuses for the JV. Like you said. They are being taken to the woodshed. Getting some valuable experience however

Great article. Respect

We don't want, are need any bad bllood between theses two teams. No more than there may be already. These are two great programs and I hope both of these teams represent East Texas in December. Injury free

WOS is a Great team. Every year. I give them the respect they deserve. Newton is a great team as well. I can't confidently say who I think is going to win this game. But I'm a Newton fan and am pulling for them. But the scoreboard is really all that matters

I have absolutely nothing to say negatively about WOS. They are one of the best programs in Texas as is Newton. I look for a great hard fought game and I expect it. Not likely a blowout in either way. But anything can happen with a momentum shift and a few mistakes. Both of these teams k8nda mirror each other with great athletes, great coaching and great fan base. Looking forward to a great game. Go Eagles!!!!

Silsbee has and excellent football team. They have great athletes and will go deep in the playoffs, imo. Everyone needs to support these kids and they will rebound. Coming from and Eagle fan. I'm 100% a Newton fan but I know a good team when I see one. This game really doesn't matter. It should be used as a teaching tool. Disrict play is the only thing that matters.

That was sarcasm

I think I would study it.
