Wooster was probably the most remarkable from BC.  Matt Bryant could possibly get into the hall eventually.  Shane Dronett is a BC honorable mention.
Mark Moseley was the 1982 NFL MVP from Livingston that never made it into the Hall.  
 

That was before Newton got public housing and sucked all of the talent out of Burkeville.  
 
Carry on. 

Y'all forgot Jasper has earned a share of the district championship. Just saying.

There is a difference in being serious about football, and being SERIOUS about football. We like to think this area lives and breathes the game and what not. The difference is the serious kids, white or black, in the DFW area and others actually live and breathe the game, the good teams anyway. Not just August to November. That may not be an opinion that is accepted but I bet the Highland Park kids do 100x more football than what we do here. 

That’s not bad. 
The problem comes when those bigger schools send in fresh subs and your guys can’t catch a breather. It makes a difference. 
The other problem is this. Guys who stand out as linemen in 3a would be kinda ho-hum in the larger classifications. 
I’m not talking about crappy, sorry 5A programs. I’m talking decent, playoff quality programs. 
I fully expected Newton to pick up an “L” or two through this stretch of non-district. They have not. Nobody is going to argue that WOS or Gilmer are having good years even if you don’t factor in the Newton games, though. 
You guys should roll through the 3A playoffs. Enjoy it and stay in your lane. 

It’s not the D1s that are the weak link. There’s a reason that “D1s” at bigger schools don’t play both ways. They have OPTIONS, which is something that Newton doesn’t have.  
I don’t care who your offer is from, if you have to line up as a receiver against a good CB and then turn around and try to cover a fresh D1 receiver series after series, both of those guys are gonna make you look silly in the second half. 
Same goes for the lines. Playing both ways works fine against smaller schools. It even works well enough against mediocre big schools. 
When you run into a team that has a few decent players like Newton has, AND an abundance of kids that match up well with Newton beyond the skill positions, Newton would lose every time. It’s just the way things work in the real world. 
 

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.  

I agree. I don't see anybody playing them within 10 points the rest of their season. That is just me. That unbelievably good for their classification.

They would win the championship every year if they got to play the Bob Hope Schools of the blind that Newton beats up on all the time. 

The whole thing about D1 commits is crazy.  The schools with the most commits is ozen and central in the past years and they didn't do anything.

I agree with you. I just don't consider Vidor, Nederland, PNG, and Beaumont United being in that category and to be above average this season. Neither of those teams are honestly that good THIS SEASON where you could put them above THIS years Newton team. In years past, of course, i'd predict those teams to win. In 2018, I just can't see it. I do agree with you that the larger quality playoff teams would edge Newton, but not the teams here in SETX. That's not a knock to them and I hope all the teams do well around here.

My first look at this thread.  Notice all the derogatory remarks about it.  I also noticed this is Page 4.  Personally, I find it interesting.  Ordinarily, Newton couldn’t compete with the 5A’s in the area, but this Newton team is anything but.  Imo, the games with PNG, Ned, and Vidor would be close, exciting matchups.  
Backing the Eagles to a State Championship.
 

Every year

Newton got lucky in the Kirbyville game. Refs screwed us. Lol.. 

26or27 to 0 all time 

I think it’s time for the WOS faithful to admit that they just don’t have anywhere near the same type of squad they’ve had in years past. 
Vidor’s performance against Crosby last night makes WOS job against Crosby look a little less impressive. Silsbee thrashed us last week.... WOS-not so much last night. 
Still gonna make the playoffs, 50-50 IMO for another DC. Won’t be playing in December in my opinion.  

But y’all seem to so often......

Yeah none of our teams have a ton of talent walking around.

Yea they stopped them on 4th and goal from the 2 yard line.  

Throw them V’s up!!!!!!!

Pray for us.
