Thank you. You saw what I saw. Kirbyville was beaten. No doubt. No argument. Nobody saying any different. But, if you look at what Newton returned vs what Kirbyville lost...this should have been a 60-0 type game with Kirbyville not giving ANY opposition. But it simply wasn't like that. We have life in this team. The ingredients are there for us to still have a very good run and I'm taking that away from this loss instead of dwelling on it simply being a loss. There were moments, several of them, when Kirbyville threatened. Not to take the game, but to score...to compete...on that drive, at that moment. But by all accounts, we weren't supposed to. We were supposed to come in and get run all over by the starters that were supposed to be pulled 5 mins into the game. But...like I said...it didn't turn out that way. We showed we could be stronger than most everybody expected and that's something to build on. 

Silsbee has always been a tough team to predict. I've seen them beat the tar out of a good solid team...then turn around the next week and get pounded by a team that had already been pounded earlier in the year by the one they had just beat the tar out of. Lol.. So it's really tough to say what they'll do from one week to the next. I do know Newton is very, very good. And if they haven't peaked yet, Lord knows what's in store for when they do. I pick Newton by a TD in this one. But then again Silsbee might take it by 48.

Them Kats gonna be fine. Kville has the speed and a QB that will develope. Everytime Ty touches the ball he can take it to the house. A little tweeking on the Oline Kats are right back in it this year. No doubt. 

I'm not even about to say Newton didn't just give Kirbyville a sure enough down home butt whippin', however those 3 BS penalties they were called back were all legitimate calls. Kirbyville shot themselves in the foot on 2 of Newtons offensive scoring drives by committing meaningless penalties on third down when they had the stop, So I guess its just how honest your being with yourself on the reality of the game. Reality is Newton was the better team Friday night as I expected and as they should've been (considering nearly returning the entire team and honestly should've won the state championship last year). Kirbyville lost a lot from last season and are a relatively young football team that with a little experience with coach neece and his staff pushing them will be scary to play against. I fully expect Kirbyville to have it together by district play and compete for a district title (they have improved every week since the first time they took the field this season). I expect Newton to continue to improve also and win their district and make a nice playoff run if not go all the way.

Yea see I've always had an issue with this "X number of TD's were called back.." thing that people like to point out. I know what you mean, and I get it, but you have to look at 2 very crucial things first...1.Did they end up scoring on those drives anyway? (because obviously if they did, then they didnt really lose any 'extra' TD's) and 2.There's most likely a very good reason it was called back, and that infraction was why they scored the TD to begin with. 

Lol.. BS penalties...I like that. Sorry the refs rooked you like that. Fact is you won by 4tds. The other 3 might never have happened so don't even consider them. You wanna hear something pretty cool though? 4tds is way more than enough. The better team won. But we found some flaws and exposed them in the last 3qtrs. Our offense could never get going and yall's defense was a big part of why. You should really be thankful this game didn't happen till now. We play this game each of the last 2 yrs like everybody wanted and Newton would be 1-2 in that 3 yr series.

CC being down this yr or not, they're still CC and will give any team all they have. Woodville completely dominated this game in every way and they get my respect. Looking forward to facing yall in a few weeks. Good luck along the way Eagles and congratulations on this statement yall made tonight.

We played a very sloppy game last night but still stiffened up for the better part of 3 qtrs and stood toe to toe with Newton despite giving up turnover after turnover after turnover. Newton had the better team overall but they made some mistakes too and if we had played a little less sloppy football, the door was opened for us. As far as Orangefield, they have played us very close each of the last 2 yrs and now look better than even then. Combine that with Kirbyville needing to work out some kinks and tbh, this could go either way if we don't do what I know we can do. I say Kirbyville by a TD, but we can't be caught sleeping.

Orangefield coming off a big win and Kirbyville trying to bounce back from a loss. I think the Wildcats will be ready to take the win in a good matchup

Orangefield is scrappy but Buna is really down this year. You can throw both games out for Orangefield and Kirbyville, cause both won't have any affect on this coming Friday. I expect a competitive game, and believe me OF knows exactly what they're getting into this week.

I really like Jackson at quarterback even considering how sloppy he played tonight I believe he will develop into a really good player at that position. I'm not happy with the lack of production on offense overall but newtons defense is no slouch. There are adjustments that can be made to fix the lack of offensive production by the wildcats. I look for Kirbyville to have a successful season.

Defense made excellent adjustments at the half and really looked good in the 2nd half. Offense never got going. Newton defense is great. Kirbyville offense will have to step it up though and I believe they will.

Very cool. Sounds like Woodville is here to play this year.

End 1.

Umm....maybe not from you NewtonNation, but I can assure you the disrespect has been dished out from Newton fans on here AT LEAST as much as from the Kirbyville fans. The last couple yrs especially since we didn't play each other. But, like you, us respectable Kirbyville fans don't let it bother us either. 
  All I can say about this game is, it's Kirbyville vs. Newton. Anybody from EITHER side in any given yr that thinks their team has it in the bag when this game is played is sorely mistaken. Newton seems to be where they should be right now, and Kirbyville looks like they need some work. Soooo....on paper it don't look good for us. Luckily, this game isn't played on paper.

Good luck to both teams tonight! 

This game reminds me of all the stories of a K or N  getting burnt in the middle of our fields before the game.....not that i have ever done that just heard that.
 
 

Kirbyville will come to play, and Newton will not overlook us. Those are facts. One team is almost always going to be favored and this year I think we all agree that it's Newton. Now, ask anybody from Kirbyville, OR anyone from Newton, how much stock they put in predictions. Let's just play some football.

This should be a good game by all accounts. I'll never pick against my Cats but we lost a lot from last yr, and are going to be facing a VERY tough Eagle team picked by many to make another state run. So if we're gonna pull this out it'll be by pure grit, will and a heck of a want-it attitude. I say Kirbyville by 1, cause that's all that matters. Good luck to both teams. I'll see yall there.
