purpleeagle got a reaction from marshman in Best wishes to Newtons W.T. Johnston!
I was told they had him up last Saturday and sitting in a chair.
Those of us who have been around W.T. for the last few years and have seen him go on when just walking onto the field with oxygen was a challenge while keeping a wonderful attitude through all of his challenges.
Winning the state championship would have been great last year but that did not happen, God gave him something greater, he game him new lungs and a continuation of life.
For all of us Newton football fans, We got something greater than a state championship.
God bless you W.T.

purpleeagle got a reaction from prepballfan in how does your team look for 2015
Hail, Hail, oh mighty Dayton, the Greek goddess of football. We who are of lesser quality teams praise you.

We have heard that before. Changing coaches is one thing, changing to the right coach is another thing. Obviously, what you have been doing has not been working. Just keep doing the same thing and save your post and in a couple of years you can use the same post again. If I remember right Hardin and Hemphill built new fields. That is not the answer.

purpleeagle got a reaction from AthleticSupporter - Jock in SFA sign day
Obviously if they could have gotten a better player from east Texas, they would have signed him providing he met their need and criteria. If a team recruiting thinks a player cannot keep up his grades, or has lazy work ethics, or will not fit into their locker room, then he goes down on the list. Of course they do not know as much about recruiting as we at SETX know.

I understand they are interviewing a coach who slept at the Holiday Inn Express last night. That should do it.

purpleeagle got a reaction from Team Game in Newton $$$
Yes, the bus left at a few minutes after 8 am. Got to the stadium and watched the game before our game. Players had time to lay around and rest somewhat. The previous games our team had to travel around 4 hours to the game on the regular school buses. The other teams I saw also came in about the time we did. This in not why we got beat, we got beat by a better team. SUCK IT UP AND QUIT MAKING EXCUSES.
First it was we don't have the facilities, we don't have a big scoreboard, we did not leave the day before, we are poverty school district, Dang, we had a fantastic season and I am proud of our boys. If we had the money for big scoreboard and fancy facilities then we would have to have a lot of industry and we would have more people and we would be a bigger school and we would have to be competing with larger schools. The schools we are competing with are basically in the same shape that Newton is. Love it or leave it. I am staying.

purpleeagle got a reaction from PNGFan in Newton $$$
And you think 75,00 is a lot of money for a superintendent. Newton has a nice stadium, a nice school, If someone wants the upper class of rich school systems then one would have to move to Houston. Things are not going to change in Newton county in our lifetime. I would not change where I live for the richest school in Houston or Dallas or Allen or any big town like that. It is a lot harder to win a state championship in the 5Aor 6A class then in the 2A , 3A,OR 4A classes. I graduated from PN-G and I doubt you will ever see PN-G in Jerry's world. The competition is just to good in the bigger cities. A school in a big city that has 5 large high schools and one of those high schools has a winning tradition then several good players transfers to that school to make it even better. We don't have that luxury in our local large high schools like PN-G, Nederland etc...

purpleeagle got a reaction from Ty Cobb in WHAT RULE CHANGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CHANGED
Don't change the state playoff site. After seeing this stadium, there is nothing else in Texas like it. The kids really love playing there. It's about the kids when you get to state, not the convenience of the fans. Also, they get to play in front of thousands and thousands of fans. The games have from about 25 to 55 thousand fans at any game. This place really has there act together. It was an experience the kids will never forget. Also, it is more centrally located in the state. What you see on TV is just a small part of Jerry's World.

purpleeagle got a reaction from MAYFIELD in how strong was your jv program this year
Newton JV lost one district game by two points to Garrison. Newton's 7 and 8 th grades were very good. Newton will be rebuilding and are two to three years away from possible having another real run at the state title. Our best athletes are 8th graders.

purpleeagle got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in Waskom 41 Newton 22/Final
Great run Newton. Waskom put 9 and 10 in the box and Newton would not throw the ball. We got beat by a better team. Congratulations to Waskom.

purpleeagle got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in Bridge City Football Applicants
You never know, I think Asvarez came to Kirbyville from W.Sabine and put that program back on track and then to Ennis where he is still in the playoffs. This should be a quality job for someone, a good town to live and coach in. Maybe Bridge City can come up with a good sleeper and put that program back on track.

We from Newton are very flattered that someone else wants to claim us, however, we are southeast Texas and SETX as is Jasper.
