Newton vs Gilmer

I know, it's just not fair that Newton wins out against schools with the same enrollment.

Lol i like it!

Newton would fade down the stretch against just about any decent 5A team. Going up against bigger lines, with more fresh bodies and kids that don’t play both ways would wear the Eagles down. It would make for a good half or so, though. 
I’ll concede that at this point there’s nobody in this area in 4A that could have beaten them... and possibly only a few in the state.  

Let's see who shows up at AT&T.. out of this bunch.

Vidor gave up a 3 score lead...a little suspect maybe???

I think this is a respectful answer, they have a chance at beating anyone in SETX, but have a really good chance at beating PNG,Vidor, Nederland and Crosby.

I'll take the computers on this... It has been pretty spot on for the most part
people forget WOS use to beat up on 5A schools back in the day with 30-35 varsity players (Westbrook, Central, Aldine MacArthur (ranked #2 in the NATION at the time). Don't put too much in school size. You can only put 11 on the field at a time.

2018 Calpreps prediction 83% Success rate
Newton 38 Crosby 31
Newton 35 Nederland 17
Newton 42 PNG 26
Newton 40 Memorial 20
Westbrook 34 Newton 28
Newton 38 Vidor 21
Carthage 38 Newton 31
and for the record 
2016 WOS vs 2018 Newton: WOS 31 Newton 21
 
and for those that don't want to believe the computers...they had Crosby 34-20 over WOS, actual score 35-24
 
 

When Newton threads are ridiculous but they still comment lol

Like Gata said. When Gilmer gets clicking they will be hard to beat.. They will be hard to beat when the playoffs start. I was at the Newton game and Gilmer has the weapons to do damage.  They will get it together.  Pulling for them .

I hope we can convince you otherwise. Meet you back here for dinner, one of us gonna eat.

Welp, how do you want it?

We are just down but no disrespect taken. That team is one to be proud of. We have had an amazing run since 2003. We are getting some of that goes around comes around. It's all good. Not only that, I still expect us to play 2,3 or maybe even 4 rounds deep. 

When your O is clicking it's dangerous!

GATA EAGLES!!!!!

I don't think we can beat Newton THIS year, but we are playing 2 animals back to back. With that said, we haven't taken a beating like that since the 70's. I would expect a good game plan and a good effort Friday night. We will match up better with the Eagles than we did against Carthage. Our kids are proud. They won't take to kindly the whipping they got last week. I believe a closer game is coming than some expect. 

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" 

Do scoreboards still have ‘bulbs’? If so, the hometown Eagles will need to have plenty available Friday night. Someone explain what ‘bulbs’ are to these young pups.

I say the score will compare to the Carthage vs Gilmer. Newton may possibly shutout Gilmer. Carthage could've had more points but coasted the 2nd half. If Gilmers defense doesn't do better Newton will fry the scoreboard. 

We hung 70 on Carthage about 4 or 5 years ago. What goes around comes around. They seemed to have bounced back from it ok. We will too. 

I say the score will compare to the Carthage vs Gilmer. Newton may possibly shutout Gilmer. Carthage could've had more points but coasted the 2nd half. If Gilmers defense doesn't do better Newton will fry the scoreboard. 

I think this could be a exciting  offensive game.........42-21 Newton!

Newton
Strength ..offense/defense loaded with athletes great coaching staff.
Weakness .. having to wait a week before playing again. 
 

Thank you and wish you the best.. See you at AT&T with dem Newton Eagles !!
