Trust me, I understand your assessment of the 1983 team and agree for 1983 they were head and shoulders above their competition. However, comparing the 2018 athletes and the 1983 athletes is like comparing apples and oranges. We've all been around long enough to see the transfiguration. When I was in school in the early 80's - if you ran sub 4.8, you were pretty quick and occasionally you had guys in the 4.6 range with some wind at the back. We didn't really start seeing 4.5's until late 80's and early 90's on a regular basis. Now, fast forward to 2018 - Newton has SEVERAL sub 4.5 guys and built like machines. Match that with football iQ and vision, and I dont think its comparable. Maybe, I am wrong. I lived thru that era and what I am seeing today is not something I ever seen growing up in ANY part of the state at any level.

I think two divisions  of football is a good example of what your saying , had we stayed with one division for each classification alot of teams would never make it out of the first round much less make the playoffs period. It’s amazing what kids can do today compared to back then.

Pretty sure Newton is hoping for a weather cancellation against WOS on Friday. 

Really though that storm is not looking good for us everyone stay safe. 

Better watch what you say the storm may be coming down 87 from Newton lol

Answer the questions then. Name a team. I'll wait.

All I can say is 22 young men on the field and one football.... anything can happen world beaters or not

Let's be honest........has there ever been a 3a team in the WORLD capable of doing what this newton team can do? Moreover, has there ever been a 3a team in the WORLD that produced this many high caliber d1 athletes? Furthermore, has there ever been a 3a team in the WORLD with a QB, RB and WR all committed to the same University? No? Well, alright.

I wouldn't say that it is far fetched, being Newton beat Silsbee by 3 scores last season. But that's why we play the game

I definitely think this will give a better idea of where they are at, I would really want  to see what  the defense is all about.

I understand Newton is good but do you really think they are 4 td’s better Than  Silsbee? That means they would be competitive with some of the local 5a teams.

I think Newton will throw the ball just enough to open up the running game , they may not need to but will , silsbee will score and may keep it close for awhile, 3rd and fourth Newton will step on the gas until silsbees tank is empty 

This one will be ugly for one team.

Boy.... that was brutal.  Diboll has some good kids, but we played some really, REALLY bad football. 

Diboll’s lines absolutely destroyed us in the trenches. The only times we moved the ball were when we threw the it. That’s not a good look for a team that relies almost totally on the run game. Our only score was set up by a long pass play that put us deep in the red zone. 

Our qb Skinner was a bright spot.  Maybe the only bright spot. Well, unless you consider “opportunities to improve” all over the field a bright spot. We honestly looked like a team trying to implement a new offensive system. It was bad. 

Diboll has size. No offense, but I think we made them look a lot better than they are. Not trying to knock them, just being honest. They beat the crap out of us. 

An interesting note... Splendora edged out Sterling. Otherwise every team in our district got smashed by a smaller school this week. This is possibly the worst district in 4A D1. Lumberton (Jasper), LCM (Woodville), Huffman (Liberty), Livingston (Shepherd), and BC took big losses in games that should have been locks based on size alone. Sad times. 

Gotta watch out for the small towns you can’t find on google earth

As good as their offense is, their defense is better. Gimler may not score on them

They will score

58-0 half

WOS wins this one, and goes undefeated Rest of season.

Then why talk about Newton and west orange stark on a jasper and Newton topic?
