Great game by 2 good teams.

No one was beating Whittington last year, regardless of the weather. 

Newton playing as advertised. One of the best teams in the area and the state. But WOS defense needs to keep putting pressure and wear them down.

I've never been to newton's stadium. Capacity is 2300 so it should be packed. I hear many from WOS planning to go. But alot more planning to stay home and listen to kogt. Nearly a full moon on Friday the 13th, means ima stay off that dark east Texas highway. I'll be there in spirit. Safe travels for everyone.

Side line to Side line and many other Sports affiliates will be at this game. Gonna be a Good One.👍

Game can be heard right here at SETXsports

Say what you want, but this is old time high school football. Two good teams playing on a grass field with a crown, small stadium and rabid fans. These kind of games are the seeds of Texas High School Football that are where all the big mega stadiums and huge crowds come from.

Kevin Shorter was darn good RB and he was D1 and an injury kept him from going to UT. So Newton has had many D1 players. Barlow is a good back but at newton there will be many great backs come through there. 

Don't get me wrong, I think the "dj" guy knows football. But, I totally agree with you when he has only a WOS perspective. He's definitely giving credit to Newton, but he's still only seeing one sided. He dissected Silsbee last season too, and was stating only reasons of why they would win. Then.... we all seen how that played out. I respect WOS and hope they win every game other than this weeks game, but we have to keep it real.  

Forget about Barlow? Lol highly doubtful 

The most logical post on here, and it came from a Newton hater more so than a WOS hater, oh wait he's both………. lol both teams in trouble Friday. 

I had WOS picked before the season.  I'd call it a 50/50 with a lean towards Newton at this point.

I've noticed many saying Newton has players that are just as good as Barlow , Foster. I don't think that to be true. You could search the nation and not find another of these guys. These young men proved themselves on and off the field in society.  Newton has good players stepping up to fill the vacancy of players like Barlow but until they prove themselves on and off the field you cannot say they even compare to Barlow. Can these young players be like a Barlow or Foster ? Yes in their own way . Many of these young guys are making their Mark and earning their stripes but untile they prove themselves on and off the field and between the White Lines you can't compare them to Barlow or Foster. Being a fast runner , throwing and catching a football  , having the most tackles all these things are included in the package but there is more to being a great player and athlete.  Your activity in your classroom , neighborhood and society are just as important as being good on a football field.  Barlow and Foster along with other players from Newton have done both . Saying Newton has players just as good as Barlow or some of the other players who have moved on is not accurate. These young men did it on and off the field and continue to contribute to both . 💯💜

Both schools have amazing programs with awesome kids. After this week I’ll cheer for WOS the rest of this season & I bet a lot of WOS fans cheer for us too! 

I always do. Much respect for what newton has accomplished over the years. Because we understand how difficult it is to remain dominant for so long. Always a target on your back. Get the best out of every opponent you face.
My boss played qb for newton years ago. He would say, we won state back in 98. And I'd remind him that their only loss was to WOS. When we both made it to state, he would take off one day to watch newton and I'd take off the next. Shame that we never made it the same day. But this could always be the year we both win it all.
Except for this week. WOS in another close one. No score prediction. Just get out of there with a win. And no injuries on either side.

We don't want, are need any bad bllood between theses two teams. No more than there may be already. These are two great programs and I hope both of these teams represent East Texas in December. Injury free

How can you tell someone who played the game at Newton was raised in Newton and been part of the Newton tradition that they don’t know. Nawl what it is you all don’t know. Until you’ve walked it or been part of it. You will never know. Only continue to spectulate and wonder. This thread was asking who we think would win. I am in no way taking away from the legacy WOS has but let’s be honest they are not the team they used to be. Do I think they will win their district. Yes. But come Friday night. I got Newton. 

WOS is a Great team.  Every year. I give them the respect they deserve. Newton is a great team as well. I can't confidently say who I think is going to win this game. But I'm a Newton fan and am pulling for them. 
But the scoreboard is really all that matters 

Dude blah. Everyone in SETX know Newton is a Great team. Only those who are jealous or just pure haters would say they are not.  You youngsters really need to stop trying to talk sports. 

Bro I see ur one of them guys that looks at scores.instead of the actually game.there is no doubt newton is a gud team.but there not world beaters.and I'll admit newton took advantage of flaws w.o had last yr.difference this yr w.o dline is better.and will give them them blues.also if watched w.o play u know 69 is unblockable this year. Ik abt the kid from newton.i think he's 24.differnce is he's facing a spread team that gets him out of his comfort zone.also sometimes he will have to line up across from 69.manchild!! And ik w.o couldn't throw the ball last yr on them. Same qb.but alot better.in case u didn't know the best rb on the field comes Friday. #41 a sophomore.unless w.o turns the ball over. This will be newton first L. And I'm willing to put money on it !! Real talk.

I have absolutely nothing to say negatively about WOS. They are one of the best programs in Texas as is Newton. I look for a great hard fought game and I expect it. Not likely a blowout in either way. But anything can happen with a momentum shift and a few mistakes. Both of these teams k8nda mirror each other with great athletes,  great coaching and great fan base. Looking forward to a great game.  Go Eagles!!!!

Great game and boy was I wrong lol Newton will win state and Silsbee will go deep 

I apologize.... I was on my computer earlier and I can’t figure out how to make it work on this stupid phone. 
Good game, Eagles.
