???? What happened here?

Is there a reason why Newton has never worked on having on a kicker? I remember a few years ago they had a kid who kicked some but It seems like every year they run into a situation where they need extra points and they’re forced to fall back on going for two and it bites them.

Any chance NW wins?

I don't believe the Newton coaches overlooked Hardin, especially after their great season last year in 3A D1. That said, Newton is definitely one dimensional (and I was born and raised there). Special teams/kicking PATs have been nonexistent for many years, and it really matters in games like this. Regardless, if Hardin survives the playoffs, they’ll meet Newton again and it’ll be a good one.

Definitely a wild game. Although I believe Newton coaching, staff sure didn’t take them lightly since they were a very solid and deep playoff team last year in big school 3A. I hope Newton gets a chance to meet em again in the playoffs.

Congratulations Hardin. Hate it for my eagles but it’s a good wake up call for them. Special teams struggled greatly. If only they could kick PATS they would have won the game .

Glad my eagles won but something‘s gotta be done or helped out in the kicking team or it’s gonna really hurt them in the playoffs . Maybe our guys were gassed, but after the first half it sure seemed like Franklin figured them out on both sides of the ball. Very classy move by Franklin for what they did at the first game with the flags and passing the helmet. Good luck the rest of the way Franklin.

Do you know what role Bird will fill as coach? OC, DC etc..

Wow. No bueno for HD. Birds a good guy. Wish him the best.

I remember the 2005 state run Newton had and they matched up against Comfort in the playoffs . Comfort had a couple D1 receivers if I remember correctly. They were a very good passing team and scored 34 on Newton but Newton had a very good run game with Todrick Pendland and ended up scoring 63. Im Cool with high scoring as long as the Eagles have more in the end. Lol.

Wish I had as much confidence as you! Hope you’re right! Lol

You think Walls o-line can keep Newtons d-line back in order to give him time?

Who takes the trophy home? I watched the Wall/Gunter Game and from what I saw I believe Newton should take this pretty easily, but then I think back to the Kirbyville State championship runs and I remember thinking they should win these games easily too, but they met teams like pilot point and Muleshoe and got smoked. So idk. Lol! .

Did they lose a lot of players from last years state championship team? Quote

Anyone know what’s going on with Kountze? Did they lose a lot of players from last years state championship team?

BH had a great season but I believe PAM will win this game by 35.!

I hate it but i’m afraid it’s going to be a long night for PNG. SOC by 30.

Wow

Are you serious??? How’s that even possible!!?

I don’t think this game will be close. Newton should win by around 40 points, and honestly, their only real challenge may not come until the state semis.

Congrats Hardin

Lightning delay

I really want Hardin to do good in the playoffs, but their strength of schedule they played this season is very weak. I hope I’m wrong, but in my opinion they’ll be lucky to get out the second round.

Great game Hardin!

Good to see Hardin having a great season! Long overdue.
