  1. Newton still has a few holes to plug. one of the offesive tackles which was being counted on to start quit the team. trying to break in two new kids. will take a while for them to learn the positions. Newton will be solid, especially when it counts and that is at playoff time. Newton will be ready for a run at the state title provided we keep our kids healthy. Injuries really hurt us the last two years.
    tough pre season schedule will prepare Newton for the playoffs. Kirbyville is going to be very strong, Corrigan Camden is ranked no. 6 in the 2A pole and Silsbee is very strongl;
  2. UIL is putting as many strong playoff teams together in one district. They started this the last realignment. This means some of the weaker teams in the weaker district will make the playoffs and some of the stronger teams in the stronger districts will be sitting home. When these weaker districts meet the stronger district in the playoffs it could be embarrasing. They are not doing the weaker teams a favor by grouping them together. You don't get stronger by playing weaker teams in your district. UIL IS WAY OFF BASE WITH THIS SUGGESTION. HOPE THIS DOES NOT PASS.

  3. There are other reasons that some coaches get fired besides their performance in athletics. But 5 coaches in 5 years ! Remember this school board hired these same coaches. Sounds like this school board need a little reorganization. The school district citizens have to carry a little of this blame also, they elected there people to the board. Board members are elected for 4 years with about half coming up for election every 2 years. Seems like they must be liking what the board is doing for there has to have been elections during this 5 year period.

      Interesting to see the outcome. Students being absent cost the school to lose money from the State.

  4. what a game.  both teams were 4-0 in district. S. Aug. led by 10 points late in the 4th quarter. Newton came back to cut it to 4 points with about 2 1/2 min. to play and S. Aug. went back up by 9 with about 2 min. to go. Newton cut the lead to 4 points with less than a min. to play and then stole the ball and made two points and was fouled with about 17 seconds left. Newton missed the free throw but got the rebound and tied the game with 17 seconds. S. Aug drove the length of the floor and made a layup but it did not count because of a charging call. Newton had 7 seconds left and drove the the length of the court and scored with one second left to win the game 66-64. What a game.
