I believe that two equal teams will give it there all and the difference in a win or loss could be luck, bad break, or just a missed assignment. The term "they wanted it more" is generally used by a team spectators that losses to a better team. I believe the last 4 times my Newton team has played Silsbee the game could have went either way. Don't remember the scores but they were close. I do know both teams wanted to win and wanting it more had nothing to do with it. They left it out on the field and luck for Newton was a bad break for Silsbee or visa versa. JMHO

Prayers for everyone on the school bus, families and community. A miracle that no-one was seriously hurt after two flips ,just a miracle.JMO

When you get to the smaller schools, I do believe you need black athletes and all athletes no matter of color. Some schools have better athletes walking the halls of the schools than on the teams of many sports. The chore for the coaches is to get the best athletes that are a cohesive unit for one purpose no matter of color and that is to win. JMO

A few years ago Newton County was one of the poorest counties in Texas. I believe they said it was a below poverty county. When you are in that shape financially ,you just hold on to the rope and fight through things. Until economic growth comes into our area balancing the budget will be tough. Our indoor practice will be in the gym.

Prayers from Newton to the family and everyone close to this person. Prayer for peace and understanding through this crisis.

It was a scrimmage and both teams played better than the officateing was and if I were a coach, I would make sure I never-ever had them. a total embarrassment to the officateing profession.officals that are biased are nothing but cheats,and if you will cheat you will probably steal. I could say a lot more about them but can think of nothing positive. as for the boys,both teams played good clean football .  Like it or not this is the way I feel.JMO

just got to mention Newton defense, salty in 1998 shutting out Daingerfield for state championship , pretty salty defense in 2004 & 2005 allowing only 54 yds rushing ave. per game. last year ,they were pretty salty.I believe  they were pretty salty in 1989, the year they missed going to state when they missed an extra point  ???? after time had expired.  JMHO

I guess they are running with the big dogs. they need to take it in stride because they just became members of Target club. all teams will be ready.

probably a rumor, but i heard Newton was going to be in a four team scrimmage with Jasper, Marshal, & Coldsprings in Jasper. if so , they will get battle tested early.

Kevin Shorter got silver in the long jump. I think they tied  for third in team points. Great job ! Newton is proud of you.

Way to go eagles. we are proud of you guys. state meet next for some of you guys.Great job!

Newton had great times in all relay races. Looks like they have a good track team.

Go Woodville, we are pulling for you guys. Crockett isn't close to Kountze. just win !!!

Way to go Eagles,football players using the round ball pretty good. JMO

Brandon Johnson is definitely scholarship material if he keeps improving and doesn't get injured . he has great leg strength and great vision. more an Emitt Smith type runner. Great highlight film

Newton has  a chance to win,slim but they have athletes. Just like during football Kountze had a chance to win, slim but they had some good athletes. with that being said Kountze is #1 and well deserving of it. If we play sound basketball I will be proud of our team. If they score the Hundred let their band play TAP's  like they did in football in the late sixties.

I just hope Newton plays Kountze close. I hope we have gotten football out of our minds and  just play sound basketball. I know we have the talent to be good . I just don't know if we can be Kountze Good,They are real good and everyone should know it.JMO

Merry Christmas to all. Glory to our heavenly Father.

Prayers  from Newton for a speedy recovery for Xavier Creeks. Hope you guys play great tomorrow!!!

I don't know who we could have beaten in AAA but playing Jasper, Silsbee, and West Orange win or lose gets you battle tested. Truthfully Bridge City was a descent team, Liberty was supposed to be descent but who knew their Star quarter-back was going to move to Shreveport, La to play for Evangeline Christian and that Orangefield's head coach would quit coaching due to health. I wish we would play Jasper, Silsbee, and West-Orange or at least two tough ones but Jasper and us got in to many fights on Thursday night. Silsbee played a pre-district of AAAA teams. West-Orange played a tougher schedule. Sometimes you play the hand you are dealt. Like i said, i do hope we go back to playing Jasper, Silsbee, or West-Orange. I do believe it would be great but I believe we would lose more than win. Just a fact when you play a step higher they will be better. If you can get battle tested,you can lose a game (even a couple games ) and it prepare you for the play-offs.The Eagles of 1998 lost to West-Orange and came back and won it all!!!JMO
