Final
 

Coach Johnston is exploiting the absence of Denton in our secondary. We headed home early. Safe travels, Eagle Fans. 
Yall will make noise in the playoffs. 

Newton: 
Offense
10 of 14 passing for 160 yards
35 rushes for 135 yards
Defense: 
5 sacks, 3 int

There is no debate 1983 Daingerfield Tigers.
They have always been the best team ever in one season in my book.

Larger schools have nothing to win and everything to lose by playing a school one third their size.  We should consider ourselves lucky that some larger schools will play us.  It's sure not for the money. It has to be out of the respect other coaches had for Coach Barbary and now for Coach Johnston.

Hmm most interesting stat on there: time of possession in the second half Newton 12:49, Silsbee 11:11, first half Newton 13:32 Silsbee 10:28.  Looks like our defense wasn't on the field near as much as was thought in that second half.  

We definitely have a lot to work on no doubt there.  This game wasn't really as close as the score in my eyes.  Our offense had one big play score, and then maybe gains 10 yds for the field goal.  One big punt return and that's it.  Offensive line needs to improve, it's only game one.  Same can be said for the qb role.  Have to get more time but also when you have a little time need to get rid of it a little quicker.  We definitely need to get the ball in both those speedy receivers hands, but those routes are took too long to come open. Not really worried about the running game at this point.  One difference Adonis is facing is that he doesn't have that big threat of a running qb back there helping open that middle up for him.  One thing about tonight's game,  you are not going to run the ball outside on Newton.
As far as the defensive side of the ball,  well it needs some work too.  I saw some things I liked, at times,  good hitting, some good tackling,  some good coverage and some just outright good plays. However I also saw backs not get covered coming out of the backfield,  Newton getting outside on us too much,  and giving up too many yards on cutbacks. But like I said about the offense, it's early.  We have only had one scrimmage before tonight.
As far as special teams we had kind of a mixed bag.  Some good punts and a few poor ones.  Some god coverage on some of those punts.  Good job on punt returns, didn't really get much of a kick return.  And the bright spot, we have a kicker!!!!  First game of the year we go 2-2 on extra points and get a 45 yd FIELD GOAL!!!
It's only the first game against a always solid Newton team.  Let's just sit back and see how these young men do.
 

Great game Eagles!
Good luck Silsbee 

Not some, just one Jasper fan. 

He knows, he scouts us a lot.

Figured we could start a list of games we know that will be played
Crosby at Jasper, Friday 7 pm
Kirbyville at East Chambers, Friday 7:30 pm
Silsbee at Newton, Friday 7:30
Coaches that have told me they plan on playing
Baytown Sterling at Port Neches-Groves
 

We play 6 vs 11 to make it fair for the other guys. 

This, plus the fact that both Johnston and Neece know that there are bigger fish to fry than a week one blowout.  A lot of kids will get time just in case they are needed this year and to get them experience for next year.

That guy's the worst thing that happened to East Texas since the introduction of the Fire Ant!

Very true,  As they have been winning pretty consistently since the early 1970's, it is hard to imagine a time when Newton wasn't winning, but they had that period of time.  In fact, Newton football didn't reach the .500 win percentage mark for its history until 1978.  The 1960s that jimmyw referenced were a period of particular struggle for the Eagles as they went 32-65-2 for a .326 winning percentage.
Even with that, Newton has had a school history that many would be jealous of.

I finally got around to reformatting and updating my old files so that they can be opened in 2016 software (I was literally using software from 2001 before this).  I've also formatted the old GIFs to Excel such that they can be opened as spreadsheets, downloaded and printed which people have been begging for for years.  I'm still updating some histories up to date from 2009 when I was last active and am making some brand new ones from scratch as I have a ton more data than I used to. If you see any definite errors please let me know and i'll look into it  i've put my own marks about questionable scores in the far right column. 
MORE TO COME!  Just wanted to put what I have out now currently...

It's a rather unfair question to begin with.   Yes, NO team closer than Harris or Galveston county can claim a winning record against WOS.  WOS has 384 wins since opening in 1977.  Nederland hit win 384 in 1997 after having played since 1925.  I think PNG hit win 384 in 1987.   
But over the eras there were always dominant teams dating back to the start of the UIL in 1909. 
TJ and Beaumont High were superpowers in the 1920's through the 1950's with TJ winning state titles in 1929 and 1944 when only ONE champion was proclaimed in the state.  
Port Neches had several peaks with two state titles in the early 1950's and another spectacular four year run in the 1970's with a title in 1975.  After PNG's run in the early '50s Nederland came along and won a title in 1957.  In fact both Nederland and TJ hosted the state title games at home on the same day that year just miles apart with Nederland beating Sweetwater and TJ losing to Highland Park.
Bridge City won a title in the mid 1960s and then in the '80s we had TJ in the title game again in 1980, West Brook winning in 1982 and French co-champs with Permian in 1984.
in the lower classifications Hull-Daisetta actually held the NATIONAL winning streak record for almost 20 years not losing a game from 1935-1939 before they were surpassed by Abilene. H-D finally got a state title in 1979.
Newton has won 3 and don't forget about Burkeville.  Barbers Hill also won 2 when they were tiny back in the 1970s.
This is just mentioning programs with hardware but with the relative population we're talking about down here compared to DFW, San Antonio and any area within 200 miles of the Rio Grande we've done pretty well consistently for over a century as a community and I take pride in that.

Well, I want to wish Coach Neece, Newton and Kirbyville the best this season.

Go get em Eagles! WOS is behind you! Hopefully we can both make it to ATT! That will give me an excuse for a 4 day weekend!!

I'm going to this game to support the Eagles!

Thanks man....coming to see yall friday
