  1. There is no recent been this way for twenty years
  2. Beg to differ we won our first title when only the District Champion advanced and the districts were not split.
  3. One more thing I forgot is a little bit of luck( bounce of the ball), if not for that North Shore has another State Championship.
  4. It takes three things to win a state championship, players, good coaches allowed to do their job and parents who do not interfere with the coaches. Winning begets participation. I have been to games where I saw students sitting in the stands who looked liked they might be pretty good athletes. Why in the stands and not participating, who wants to put all that time practicing expending blood, sweat and tears into losing. I have seen teams with athletes and the coaches not know what to the with them. I have seen coaches favor athletes ( don’t work rest of the players recents it), let outside interest influence who plays and where ( don’t work, need your best players in the position that benefits the team the most). It takes a great coach to inspire the kids and rule ( my way or the highway) and avoid the outside influences ( look back on 2014 Newton 1-3 going into playing WOS. Coach Johnson speaking to a reporter said if the players would listen to him and the parents would stay out of it and let him do his job everything would be okay. The rest is history, went on and defeated WOS and played for a state championship) What made the difference, same roster no new players. Coaching made the difference. I fully believe every school has athletes getting them to participate is another chore, but a winning tradition breeds participation.
  5. Grad my best wishes and prayers. May the good Lord see fit to cure you. Merry Christmas and happy New Year may it be blessed.

      Thank you.  I hope you had a Merry Christmas and I hope the New Year is a happy one for you as well.

  6. Good season mustangs, proved many people wrong. See you next year.
  7. Jimmy Johnson’s team could have won it without a coach, he put it together
  8. My Newton Eagles bringing home the State Championship. I played on the team that brought the first one home. What a feeling!
  9. Merry Christmas to all and a happy New Year. Hope to see everybody next year.
  10. Well if his welcome has worn thin, what do they want? How could you ask for anything more? Four trips to the state championship in four years, with a record of 3-1. Got faith. They’re fools.
  11. I have heard people say that they don’t make mistakes, so I found a game to watch. Saw them get two fifteen yard penalties in one drive, saw them get an unsportsmanlike penalty( was told if player gets one of them he rides the bench, he did not). Seen them fumble the ball, just happened to get it back. Don’t get me wrong they are a very good football team but they are not a machine, they can be beat. It will not be a cake walk. I saw a mirror image of Newton. I believe in my Eagles and fully think they can win and hope they do. Give ‘me hell and bring that trophy home.
  12. Go get ‘me Mustangs, best wishes and luck. I’ll see y’all in Dallas. Give ‘me hell
  13. Yellow or Grey, a five hour bus ride before game time does not help. It is tiring to ride that far and long, especially on game day.
  14. Congratulation to all teams that competed, young men spent a lot of time in the heat preparing to play. Win or lose.
  15. We love you till we play you. Get 'em Mustangs. Keep the streak going.
  16. I want to be there so bad, but I have to work. Show 'em what you're made of and have an injury free game. Let there be no doubt.
