    Being a Newton fan, I have always been confused as to why Newton doesn't play a stronger pre-district schedule. There for a couple of years we played an outside team (Tatum) and that was nice to see but besides that its always seemed to be weaker big schools. I have heard that when Coach Barbay was alive, teams would turn him down when he asked about playing for fear of being beat by a small school . Anyone have any insight on this? Just wish we didn't play the same ole schools every year. Regardless , still an Eagle fan.

     

    Newton has a hard time playing the Nederlands, PNG, teams like that now because of the lower level stuff we just don't have enough kids on the lower levels to compete with all their kids. WT does try and play up as much as possible but its hard to get teams to play Newton because they don't want to take a chance of getting beat by a smaller school. He gets as many bigger schools as possible but sometimes you think a team is going to be good but they end up not being very good it is what it is. It's not that they don't want to play the bigger schools sometimes it just can't be done. We always play our level or bigger every year we will never play a team smaller than us in non district ever.

    Hey Newton had a chance to play jasper but would not do it... looks like silsbee is gonna play y'all 

    Newton already had a game with silsbee scheduled why would they play jasper if silsbee could play? Jasper has had numerous chances to play Newton but they keep saying no.

    You must have watched a different scrimmage than I watched

    I agree, that if it would of been a real game it would of been a Newton blowout. Jasper only scored once with there 1st team offense and that should of been a pick for Newton but instead of DB picking it off he slapped it away and a jasper guy caught a surprise ball. Newton scored a couple times with the 1st team. During the redzone work Newton scored 4 out of 6 plays and Jasper scored 3 times. So not sure what the discussion is about go watch the tape. The eye in the sky doesn't lie. Newton was vanilla with coverage stuff didn't want to show anything the route stuff was easy but Newton stayed in same coverage never got out of it.

    If we get the rain they say this game won't take place. I can see Newton winning by 40+ but that will be it. WT will not allow the score to be run up. The two schools have too much respect for each other. The Newton / Kirbyville is not a bitter rivalry. 

    Not a rivalry are you serious? This is a big time rivalry, this game will get bad in a hurry Newton 65 Kirbyville 0. I'm saying WT let's Neece score a few extra just because.

    WO-S, end of discussion.

    To even discuss any other team on this subject is ludicrous.

    Why are we just giving it straight to WOS? Because they won back to back state titles with a really good group and a really good QB who was the one who kept that train on the track. Newton is just as consistent as them we been to 5 State Games. We have had what 26 or 27 straight playoff appearances, we have made it to atleast the second round of the playoffs for atleast 15 years in a row. I'm just saying Newton is no pushover and we have to atleast be in the conversation. It's not just WOS and everyone else. I love WOS have a lot of friends who have played there but Newton is a tradition rich program who deserves to be in the conversation. Thank you and have a good evening my SETX friends
