Go to hell!

From an outsider watching both teams play for the first time (even though it was only for less than a quarter), LCM is head and shoulders ahead of HJ. HJ had two good defensive stands with LCM in the redzone, but I believe LCM did that to themselves. I can honesty see LCM running away with it about 35-0. LCM is a quality team, but not a complete team in my opinion. HJ, on the otherhand, is not very good. They lack athletes and size for the 4A level. 

Exactly. Heck, the guy barely lost a game in a 4-year span and called plays in 4 state title games. I don't think he's too shabby at what he does. I am with you WO-S#1, it is personnel. Yes, WOS has good players, but it does not match up as an overall team as the teams WOS fielded in the past. Anyone should be able see that.

In the past 5 meetings between these two teams, Newton has beaten WOS 3 times. That is quite impressive for any team, much less a small 3A team. Can Newton make it 4 wins in the past 6 meetings come Friday? Not sure, but that does sound pretty sweet to say. 

2014 - Newton
2015 - WOS
2018 - Newton
2019 - Newton
2020 - WOS
2021 - To be Determined

I personally do not think Newton will beat WOS, but they will play hard and give WOS a good, competitive game. Newton will do really good in 3A D2 this year and has a chance to beat anyone in the division, but I think WOS will be too much this year. If Newton can keep it close and make WOS work for the win, then this game will give me great confidence in where Newton truly stands. By the way, I am rooting for Newton and hope they win, but I like to be honest with my thoughts and comments. I sure hope this game happens. This is much needed for Newton to prepare for a deep run and to be battle tested by a great team.

I think you're right about the Eagles being a good 3A team, but I'm not sure that WOS won't have problems out of the gate.  I think it'll be a close game that really doesn't indicate what either team is capable of this year. 

This is a great week for Kirbyville to cancel. Sorry, that was petty. Anyways, I think Jasper wins in a close one. Newton has a lot of key sophomores in key positions that will end up being very good, but they do not have a varsity game under their belt. Newton will get better every week, sweep their district and be a top 3A team in the state once again. They need time to find their identity, which will come. I just don't think Newton will be polished enough or experienced enough to beat a good Jasper Bulldogs team their first game of the season. Bulldogs in a close one, but I am rooting for my purple Eagles.

#41 is just a sophomore .his ceiling is through the roof. And he will make alot defenses look bad. But he has to learn to hold on to the ball.has a fumble in every game this year.he has made up for it. But u can't keep putting ur defense in this type of situation against gud teams.newton coaches are so impressive to its unreal with that talent they had.even when they struggled to move the ball.he made sure they done enough to win the game.

Great game, WOS. I am rooting for you guys. Newton has now won 3 out of the last 4 games against WOS. That is impressive. Newton has not missed a beat from last season. They’re so fundamentally sound and stacked with athletes for such a small school. 

Don't get me wrong, I think the "dj" guy knows football. But, I totally agree with you when he has only a WOS perspective. He's definitely giving credit to Newton, but he's still only seeing one sided. He dissected Silsbee last season too, and was stating only reasons of why they would win. Then.... we all seen how that played out. I respect WOS and hope they win every game other than this weeks game, but we have to keep it real.  

I just posted on another thread about what you suggested about a drop off. After watching the Video of Newton and Silsbee, I am very impressed with the ability of Nate Williams to run this offense. I truly do believe he will compensate for any drop off. I believe he can be as effective if not more than what Josh Foster was. He throws better on the run, and can hurt you with his running.  He's not the athlete Josh is, but he can dang sure run this offense.  I saw a very good passing game against good competition.

Then I would call that a 51/49....just saying

She's not a woman of her word.

I had WOS picked before the season.  I'd call it a 50/50 with a lean towards Newton at this point.

I first want to make a comment on how wrong I was about this game.  I thought we would upset Newton, but I had no idea they had athletes like that coming back.  Yeah I knew Newton would be Newton but not that type of Newton.  They will win state again.  Secondly, we will be a playoff team and make a deep run in the playoffs again.

I still believe Newton is the best 3A football team in Texas. I also believe Newton may very well lose two-three games this season between Silsbee, WOS and Gilmer. I do believe they will give all three teams hell and possibly win those games. Either way, Newton is very good and will benefit from the three mentioned teams. Go, Newton!

I think the absence of #8  in those two big games made it closer than should have been. I know he was out in other games but it showed  against a good team.
