How did your team do tonight?

How did your team do tonight?

This has been the weirdest game to listen to.

Making the playoffs and being state contenders is 2 very different things.

Is this since the inception of the teams? Because football has been dramatically different since the 70s. To argue that PNG is even close to Newton or WOS is pure ignorance. 

In Texas, that would be correct sir.

Honestly, you guys are living in a lala if you think Newton doesn't have a chance against the big schools in SETX. If I remember correctly they have a winning record over most of the now 5a schools and have played close games with the ones that they don't. 
PNG - Riding the hype of your qb maybe you should consider picking up the rest of your team from PA.
Vidor - is this a joke? One of the highest paid head coaches without a winning record. 
Nederland - Plays WOS each year because it's the closest thing to a state championship you will get.
WB, Memorial, and BU - So much talent, horrible coaching. WB and Memorial can beat Newton due to mass amount of talent.

How do we know he doesn't. Just because he plays at a bigger school doesn't mean he's got special powers. 

Oh boy, this is juicy. For informational purposes here are some scores.
2014 Newton 21 - WOS 9
2015 WOS 48 - Newton 7
WOW 48 to 7. Don't play stupid and act like Newton learned anything from that game except that they were not on the same level. I keep reading that coaches don't want to take loss to avoid tarnishing their record. Do you really think W.T. Is worried about that? These are the only 2 teams in this corner of the state, that have dominated in their divisions year in and year out. W.T. Is still going to get a win. But at some point you have to ask yourself as a coach. Is it worth risking my players health and letting them take a major hit to their pride just to be "competitive". Do you think that if Newton played Burkeville or Deweyville makes either team better? If I'm a coach and I know my team, I understand where I can and can't compete year in and year out. I think if Cornell took a 48-7  loss to someone like Manvel, we might be having this same conversation about him. It's a shame that some of you think it's about the W/L for a man like W.T. who has dominated as a coach be it as a DC or an AD for nearly 30 years and has 2 state championship visits in 4 years with 1 to take home while he has been practically at gods mercy for the whole ride. When 99% of SETX can't even put together a competitive team for 1 year much less 30.

It should be noted for the WR vs CC game, that CC drove the ball into WR territory but from what I've read that the turnover bug kept it from being closer than what it was.

BC does have a decent squad. But when you say Newton will only win by 10 to 14 points is like you are saying they are the same caliber. Let's be realistic for a minute and understand that Newton is playing at a way higher level this. I know I'll catch hell for this but the only team that will come close to beating Newton will either be Henderson or WOS. And I just can't see WOS beating Newton this year. Newton started this season with a bang against a really good Tatum squad. Granted it's the first game of the season and things do change. But the Newton team this year is 10x better than last years and WOS team still looks the same. I'm not a hater, I am a realist. To impress me you have to show me your improvements. Back to BC, I am impressed you squeezed a win passed Kville and I'm a huge believer that BC will make a good run. But side by side, BC is not playing even close to the same caliber. Much respect and good luck to both teams.
Edit: Oh also I believe that the WOS/Newton game should be called the Battle For Southeast Texas. There isnt a team 5a down that can compete at their level.

It has been way too long since we have seen a state title come to our area, and what better way to be able to have 2 titles brought back. In my opinion, Newton and WOS are the 2 most dominant teams in SETX. You don't watch high school football in this area and not know who they are and what they are about. I'm not bragging or boasting this is just fact that no matter what size school you are or what your history is Newton and WOS bring home wins. The interesting thing is though, is that since 1980 Newton could never beat WOS, even though they played amazing matches. It had been quite sometime since they had played each other and when they did Newton finally got the W that woke up the 2 giants of the old days. I really feel like that night set off monstrous seasons that both these teams are finishing with. 
 
For WOS, Gilmer needs to be shown that SETX does not bow down to the greatest show on turf.
 
For Newton, its time for you to show Waskom what tradition is about and why you have your own set of keys the state championship doors.
