Talking about assistant coaches, remember a couple of assistant coach named Cornell Thompson and W.T. Johnston.

yes, and Bruce Silsbee is from Newton.

Seems like we hear this every year. I'm sure that after all these comments they will rework this list so everyone will be happy..

Wow, if we (Newton) had money no telling how good we would be. We are one of the poorest counties(school districts) in Texas. We are trying to upgrade to flush toilet restrooms. Our old blocking dummies are rusting out, need some new 55 gal. drums. With the unemployment rate extremely high in our county, there is little chance of passing a bond. Maybe some rich person will come alone and donate about a million for new turf. Then maybe we can make it back to state again.

Who is the home team?

The problem with coaching in 5a and 6a ball is that the larger cities(like the Houston area) have numerous 5a and 6a schools and the better players wind up going to a school that has a winning program. This leaves the smaller cities with only one or two schools at a disadvantage. This is why towns like WO-S and Newton can still compete. Example, Katy has around 6 schools that are 6a, its amazing how this one school is heads above the other schools. You could move Katy's coach to West Brook and Katy would still dominate. Are you could have one school like Allen with 6,380 kids. UIL has a problem. I don't think you will ever see a state championship in 5a or 6a in the triangle area again unless UIL changes things to a more equal playing field. So, don't blame it all on the coaches.

You think it gets tougher for WO-S, you see the other guy. Go get um Mustangs and Eagles.

I think Kirbyville played there last week.

What are the upgrades? The Tx. Bob's site show cap.8000 with grass surface and track.

Looks to me like He needs to improve his own program. It's his job to keep the other team from scoring. The second team works hard throughout the year and they deserve their time in the spotlight.

Elysian Fields 56 Troup 17 Now the mystery is over. That was a tough one to figure out. Next week I will give an easier one for everyone to figure out.

Just saw in the UIL bracket that it shows this game to be played in Jasper. Could this be possible? Wow...

Newton vs. Buffalo Friday night Lufkin

Newton is the Home team.

It's a toss up. I'll go with WO-S in a close one. WO-S 55 - that other team 0 I can hear the cheerleaders now '' beat, beat, beat that other team.''

Jefferson was picked 5th in their district. Waskom had 4 returning on offense and 3 on defense. No more June bug.

So much for that perfect season record. Memorial did not even finish first in the tie breaker. So much for all the memorial trash talk. Eat your crow. Way to go Vidor. You made a believer out of me.

When the game ends, Vidor will be shouting, "please hurry up and shut off that score board."

As for 2019. Newton varsity is loaded with sophomores (9). Tamauzia Brown and Darwin Barlow are two of the outstanding starters. They are two of the best players on Newton's team and they are outstanding players that some colleges are already looking at. Teams that Newton has played this year probably remember them. PS. they also have 13 juniors coming back next year.
