Newton week 1 scrimmage SILSBEE there weekl 2 scrimmage BUNA home week 0  Bridge City home/away pending week 1 Liberty there week 2 Orangefield home/away pending have not determined district order yet.

Newton's week 1 scrimmage is Silsbee. Week 2 scrimmage pending.

We don't have that problem at Newton. We just grow some more. Makes me wonder if some of the real good stadiums( like Butch, Lamar, Center, etc)will stop letting other playoff teams use their stadium.

Congrats to Lidney Thompson, he is not only a great coach but a good Christian man, how lucky we are to have you at Newton high school.

NEWTON SHOULD STAY 2A DIV1 - THAT DISTRICT WILL PROBABLY BE THE SAME EXCEPT kIRBYVILLE GOES DOWN AND BUNA GOES TO 3A. BUNA-ANAHUAC-NEWTON-KIRBYVILLE-E.CHAMBERS-WARREN-KOUNTZE-HARDIN-WOODVILLE I UNDERSTAND THAT ONE OF NEWTON'S PREDISTRICT GAMES NEXT YEAR MAY BE BRIDGE CITY. (MIGHT ALSO PLAY ORANGEFIELD).

PN-G CLAS OF '61---I am sure some of us will sign up, that is the ones of us that are still barely alive, after all out motto was ''if we can't so it, it can't be done, senior class of 61''. Maby we wil change that motto to ''We are not going to do it cause we can't run, senior class of 61''.

Have watched them both play. Tatum has enough size to match up with Crockett. If Tatum plays like they did against E. Chambers they will be hard to beat. Should be a good match up but I give the edge to Tatum with the difference being they have an outstanding field goal kicker.

Went and watched this one. Did not know Tatum was this good. Overstreet is the real deal. I have watched Crockett and Tatum both play and this should be a great match up (assuming Crockett wins). Both have good size with outstanding QB's. Hope someone will post the place and time for that game. Best of luck EC, you had a good year.

Newton coach told me yesterday evening that nothing was going to come of the investigation. It seems to me that if  the investigation is being done from "in house" that the matter had already been looked into by the school  (prior to the Newton game) and found the players elgible to play. Seems to me like the next decision by the same school would produce the same results. but come next year "WE SHALL RETURN"...... good year Eagles, good luck E. Chambers for you now carry the banner for this district.

This Newton boy is pulling for you. Should have no problem with Malakoff, they played a weak schedule except for Crockett.

Buna wins by 28.  Buna may just be the second place team in district 10 2a.

WO-S will probably have as many touchdowns as Kirbyville has first downs. Sorry Kats, hope I am wrong, but I have seen WO-S defense and K'Ville will  have a lot of three and outs.

Newton's running back, Kevin Shorter, will probably be out for another two games . He told me last night that he should be back for homecoming. That means he misses E.C. and Woodville games. Buna has a good team and should make the playoffs. Good luck Buna for the rest of the season.

Kats win this one. Good luck K'ville.

Will be a lot closer with Newton's star running back out. Newton 42  Buna 7

Championeagles, I think the 3 point game with Silsbee missing the field goal as time run out was year before last in Silsbee. It was not that close last year in Newton.

People should be use to bad decisions made in Washington,,,,, oops, I may have the wrong Washington.

Kirbyville will be in the playoffs this year.  Good luck kats the rest of the way. This old Newton boy will be pulling for you.

Kirbyville played hard. Good luck throughout the rest of the season Kirbyville.

Vidor sneaked by a fairly weak team in Tx High. The only reason that Tx High was picked 3rd in their district is because they were two pretty good teams and then  a bunch of weak teams. They were a 6 - 5 team last year that lost most of their starters, 8 on offence and 7 on defence. Bridge City 34 Vidor 20.

Thursday night,  game conditions.  Crockett scored on 80 yd run the first play. Newton received the kickoff and turned the ball over on the third play and Crockett scored about 5 plays later. Newton made adjustments. Very even game. Crockett has a huge line.  Final score Newton 14 Crockett 13.

I was told by the father of one of the Burkeville players that Jouquin walked on them pretty good. He said he thought it was 5 TD to 0.

I think Burkeville was to scrimmage Joaquin.

Can't just blame the coaches. Hemphill had about half as many kids suited up as Newton did. The have to want to play first. It is going to take a little time for Hemphill to get their program back. Something has to motivate the kids to get them out to play. Hemphill did not look all that bad. They have a pretty good qb and a fast running back. They will be better this year than they were last year. It takes a few years to get a program back on track. Hemphill was once a very good 2a team and I hope they will get their program back on track. There was nothing wrong with the coach that they had last year, we have him at Newton now and are proud to have him.

The Stillwell kid from Burkeville broke his wrist. Out 4 to 5 weeks
