EAGLEFOREVER

Yes kids make mistakes as did I. My redemption came by my accepting the punishment the coach dealt me. It's his team.

Our quarterback ran a 5.3 40.

So you think it is all about speed. 1974 State Championship Newton vs. Spearman Spearman is suppose to have the fastest back in the state. Down 42-7 at halftime. doesn't look like his speed did him any good.

Maybe you need to look at the coach. There are athletes in every region. Burkeville use to be a powerhouse, I do not think it is because they no longer have any athletes that they have fallen. I have seen coaches draw fire from kids, instill a belief that they can and should win, hold onto that block one more second, get one more yard, hold onto the ball carrier help is coming, shed that block. You have to believe in yourself or the battle is lost before you set foot on the field. Practices have to prepare you for what is coming on Friday night, a battle that requires a lot of physical energy(conditioning), mental energy (thinking) I can not physically overpower my man, what can I do different to defeat him, wear him down, maybe go at his feet or go around grind on him wear him out physically. Have you ever seen a close ball game and then after half time two different teams step on the field because of adjustments and physical conditioning.

With the athletes their fielding maybe not, but how many athletes are not playing because they are not going to put the effort or time into playing for a losing team. Winning draws athletes out of the woodwork. That is one reason year in and out winning programs win.

If you think he is to hard or tough on the players to be a coach at your school, then that is why mediocrity will rule at your school.

All this talk of translating JV play to varsity play does not work because an amazing thing happens to 14 and 15 yr. old kids; they grow some more than others.

Don't let the troll get to you.

I was not talking about this game. I was talking about how good or bad Newton's pass defense is.

I am aware crazeddeer.

Then it was all in my imagination when Silsbee receivers were 10 to 15 yards behind any Newton players.

Carry on keep your rose colored glasses on.

If you think Newton's pass defense is great you better go take a look at that Silsbee game film.

No you don't, they have a bull.

Yes but do you catch what is thrown?

If LCM cannot pass, you are in for a long night. Passing game is Silsbee weakness.

Good luck BC

Then let it be about the game and ignore all the extra. Some people can not stand for somebody else doing good so they try to drag them down too, ignoring them will drive them crazy because no one is acknowledging them.

That generally results in a good old woodshed whopping, nobody is disrespecting anyone. When you have been at the top and did a lot of crowing, don't expect any sympathy when you fall down.

Got some hurt feelings?

Lock it

After next week they will drop out of the top ten.

The coach went and if you think that had nothing to do with it you are sadly mistaken.
