Tom Brady Barrier.   I like that a lot. Nice one AP_5309.   Gonna be an exciting season.   Wish yall the best of luck this year.  

Barrier had a rough time at Rusk. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

I don't have the stats but I'm pretty sure Zayon had more than 25 yards receiving in just the first game alone. 38 yards rushing is obviously not accurate either. Dustin got a few carries here and there and was also utilized as a HB/TE type the last couple district games and in the playoffs 

Dustin year before last was a freshman and probably  played JV ball and was probably on the varsity when moved up for the playoffs. Stats are probably right for varsity.

Come on buddy you are better than that.

The 38 yds was yr. before last. Only sowed a few carries.

So help me, we can pull him out of retirement and really give people something to gripe about.

😃😃😃😃😃 

Did not think WO-S would ever lose the winning trophy.  Trophy now goes to Nederland. Come on WO-S get that trophy back. The trophy has a bowl that is full of tears.

Man, the waging tongue rolls on and it’s only going to get worse. I remember when this happen at Kirbyville  and a good coach quit and they are just getting their football  program now.   
what happen to those days when a kid got whipped at school he got another one when he got home. The good old days when the only drug i knew was when my mother drug me to Church.

I certainly think if it is an in season varsity sport, the players should be allowed to miss all contact in football spring training. Yes be there and watch and learn, but no contact unless it is the player’s choice

Yes, the new bulldog jersey should have “don’t hit me “ printed on it.  Nederland could start a powder puff league.    
 

I do think Woodville has a very good program and will I will be pulling for them when they are not playing Newton because they are in our district.   
I think they are  about two more steps to go to be a good playoff contended.   
example, last year they lost in the second round to Columbus who lost to Lorena who then lost to Franklin.

Don't kidd yourself. It'll always be tough trying to defeat the super speedy Purple Gang 

How well I know. 34 yrs security with Newton.

Then find his stats and post them. The site i got them from could be wrong. Woodville site. With a QB already rated no. 1 by A&M and two elite running backs, Woodville will  have no problem with newton.  
Newton - nothing to see here.  😀

Zaylon Williams and Dustin Barlow 

I found the stats    
Williams  23/24  657 yds rushing   Receiving 6/25 yds.    
22/23.  38 yds rushing  1/1 receiving 

Dustin stats. Has not played much varsity but is a big young good power running back.

Could you please post their rushing stats from last year.

When I was Em Mgt Cor. In Newton Co.  there is a law even in the flood plain that if you build something on your property that causes more flooding or damage to another's property that you are responsible for that damage.    
come on state, you know better.

Lost by 5 points last year and beat them by 1 the year before and lost by 20 3 years ago.

Woodville is 24-41 against Newton and has only beaten them once since 1994.

With Woodville getting a new QB if I had to bet on the game today Would pick Newton

Newton— speed, speed, speed, speed, speed. 5 Underclassman who can literally fly.

Neds in good hands. Just let it happen

Yes, maybe all the seniors will quit and help the coach out. Ned. Still made the playoffs.

Time to pull a little WOS magic.

Get the plant manager to hire the parents with the "right kids"

Right now we have the kids coming up to do the job. Athletes with speed to burn. We have probably the fastest weapons we have ever had.  If we could get Neece back as OC we will see our next state championship in the next 3 years.

Does it have to be one or the other? Can’t it be both?

None of the above. It’s a dang good coach, exceptionally good players and a little luck.

You have to think in terms of him starting out as a HC.  He was an assistant at Phillips High School.  Then became HC at Dalhart.  That was the 50-50 shot.  Then he became HC at Monahans.  Again, 50-50 shot.  Then he became HC at Hobbs, NM.  50-50 shot.  This is where he first played in a Title game and lost it.  Then the next year he won it.  When TJ hired him and then PNG hired him, they knew he was championship-type coach at that point.  Again, less than 10% at any give time are championship-type coaches.  

PS:  I believe you support Newton now?  Do you believe you have a coach that can win a State Title?  If so, what makes you believe this?

I graduated from PNG but live in Newton Co. Security 34 years for Newton. I am totally satisfied with our coach and players and support them win or lose. Our coach coached under W.T. Johnston. Played under Curtis Barbay. Was all state two years.

First of all, no assistant coach that has never been a HC can be considered elite.  Second, he will do dramatically better than the previous coach.  Not sure how many wins the first year but they will look much better.  His first year he'll have to have time to install his system.  Plus, he'll have to have time to overcome how badly coached they were last year.  Now, is he a miracle worker and win the district his first year?  I guess anything is possible.  But I wouldn't think that's a good bet.  Second year should show dramatic improvement.  Third year, he should be competing for the District Crown.  

Should. Not sure that will happen in a strong district like they are in. PN-G, Lake creek and Huntsville are established teams. 

Surely you do not mean that Nederland will do no better than Monti did last year with all the starters they have coming back. I thought they hired an elite coach and were headed to state. There will only be 64 teams in their bracket. Should have no problem with PN-G this coming year with that big fat line PN-G has. Probably give up about 40 lbs per man. Should be no problem for an elite coach.

Nederland’s district will see PNG, Lake creek finishing One and two. Huntsville probably 3rd. Nederland over west fork for forth. Nederland could possibly beat huntsville for third go bulldogs
