Wishing all an injury free game and safe travels. Congratulations to all that won last week, you’re one step closer to your goal. To all the winners this week, congratulations and we will see you next week. To all the losers, good season and we will see you next year. Go Friday night lights.

Who gives a __________________....

Here are some stats for those who don't like the coaching staff:
Lidney Thompson's 1st year: 6-4 (didn't make the playoffs) 
Curtis Barbary's 1st year: 5-4-1 (didn't make the playoffs) 
WT Johnston's 1st year: 9-3 (Out in 2nd round)
Probably should have gotten rid of all of those coaches after the first season. Who knows what kind of program Newton could have.....
Maybe you supposedly "Newton fans" "Born and raised" should study the word support. You don't support until things aren't perfect then want their head. Pump your brakes, we're still playing. 

If Newton makes these kinds of mistakes against Dangerfield or Paul Pewitt,  they will not win. 

Newton starting qb did not play tonight. Back up quarterback threw 3 interceptions I believe. Newton's defense has dropped 2 maybe three interceptions. Without Williams at quarterback, Newton is very predictable. 

I saw SA play Tenaha and they are VERY good but have they played anybody besides Hemphill? 

My picks are SA, Jasper, WB, Diboll. Newton has a shot, but it’s a long one, imo.

WOS if they can stop the turnovers and offense start blocking more
Newton haves a shot at it but after the gilmer game idk
Lufkin can have an shot but they going have to face Longview Maybe in the fourth round and beat them but I'm sorry to say I don't think that going to happen doe
North shore is a maybe they might meet Katy tigers in the fourth round and tigers beat them earlier in the season
Diboll maybe semifinals but not state 
This is mines WOS , Newton , San Augustine, North Shore 
 
 

anderson shiro has some pretty good athletes #4 and #11 can go start for newton but they will not be enough newton 52-12

C Camden beat Anderson Shiro by 3 touchdowns. Newton beat C Camden 62-0. That means this should be a close game.
Newton had more TD"s then C Camden had first downs. Newton 54  Anderson Shiro 6. That is if they run the clock the 2nd half like they did with C Camden. If not then, 71 to 6 Newton.

It looks like Nate is getting his passing game together which means Newton will be much harder to beat going forward. The running game has always been there, as has the strong defense. I don't do score predictions since it is so arbitrary anyway, but Newton will win this game going away, and start preparing for their next opponent.
By the way, I just finished the book  between the white lines by Dave Burchett. I highly recommend it. It's about a tough man and a great coach - W.T. Johnston. 
You can probably pick up a copy from the Newton County Historical Commission 213 E Court st. Newton Texas 75966. Part of the profits go to the W.T. Johnston Scholarship Fund in Newton Texas.
After reading it I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at spending eleven years in that community, and a close friendship with Coach Barbay. I still have some dear friends there.
Newton Pride Never Dies
Go 🦅 

Newton wins. Gonna sit this one out over that 3 hour drive. 

Hey, Juston06. Is that your heart talking or your head? Cause there ain't nothing in life that solid.

Probably a statement 100% of Newton fans wouldn't have made. 

Thank you sir! 
Yes sir with 4 freshmen starting we gonna be underdogs in this one for sure.. 

Another Friday and another best wishes to all. May everybody remain healthy, injury free and may all have safe travels. Win or lose give it your all and that is all anyone can ask. God bless everybody. Go Friday night lights.

Yes they did win a state championship. When I talked to him after game he said oh I’m alright. They took me out for precautionary. So that’s all I know about that. 

How do you know the adjustments weren’t being made? Could possible be that the adjustments were being made but the players weren’t executing? I was standing down by the sidelines and I heard the coaches making the adjustments and then the players were on the field doing the same thing over again and could hear the coaches hollering “we just talked about this.” So I beg to differ the coaches were making adjustments on defense I personally saw it with my eyes. I also guess it was the coaches fault that they missed tons of tackles in second half when the back up QB you are talking about was in. They had the QB running all over the place they were getting plenty of pressure on him. Not sure what game you were watching though. Hey though guess what the other team practices too and they are going to make plays that’s what happens in football games. Two of the scores came on QB scrambles and the DBs just lost their man and they threw it down the field and scored. Notice I said scrambles because of the pressure on QB. The other score in 2nd half was multiple missed tackles on an athlete who was at QB who made a few plays and broke the long run for a TD. So before you start throwing shade at the coaches on adjustments you may want to go rewatch the game or pay better attention to the game. 

I expect Newton to be really down this week. They have only won 45 of the last 47 games they have played. I think it will be closer than people think. I say Newton 52 that other team 0.

Don’t mind him, he has beef with WOS, Silsbee, Newton, the school of the blind, etc….. lol 😆 

Sure is quiet. Too quiet. Jasper must not have much confidence. They are too busy on the other thread complaining about rankings.

From the histories that Goblin has above, it appears that 1999 was the last time.  Not bad, 20 years between shut outs.

I do want to say adversity shows true character. We have been in the same position. Your true colors show when things don't go right. Last night was an indication of Newton's character. First class all the way. That shows good coaching and discipline. 15-1 is by no means out of the reality. 

No shame for Newton losing to Gilmer. Watched KTRE Red Zone and Newton talked about the size and how Gilmer speed the game up to keep Newton off balanced. They didn't use it as an excuse, but it's a big ask when your kids are going both ways while the other team can rotate fresh guys in at anytime.
Gilmer suits up 47 and plays a bunch of them. I would bet when Newton played Silsbee or WOS the number of players were similar or close.
The streak was bound to end. Better on the road than in Arlington.   I take 15-1 hoisting a trophy versus 15-1 and losing my last game of the season.
Newton will be fine.
As for Jasper, Silsbee and WOS, the playoffs ought to be fun.

Newton QB under center all night. No shotgun no spread when Gilmer stacking the box. Scat right scat left and up the middle. It seems after Neece left  they have dug out the ole playbook from the past. When's the last time you witnessed Newton not getting a half yard for a 1st down.  Congrats to a good Gilmer team.
