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.

Congratulations to the West Orange-Starks Mustangs. You did it, yes  State Football 4a Division 2 Champions. 

Go get them West Orange-Starks,pulling for you guys.

West Orange Starks is on a quest. Mustangs win by 21

Praying for your little sister and a hedge of protection for her child. Praying for the family. The lord is our healer,protector ,provider, &  everything to us and in him will I trust.

Newton defense still looked salty to me ,Offense was not consistent. However, I thought Marlin had a lot better athletes  on the field than we played the week before. Marlin made several mental mistakes but they matched our speed period. I think we will play better this week, just read to much about how week Marlin was. (Trap Game). Marlin is definitely an under-achiever team, way to many athletes. We better be ready or Franklin will be playing Crockett or C C. JMO

going to Palestine to watch Newton vs Marlin. Also watching my grand-daughter (Drum Major in band)

Put pressure on the qb and tackle him every play (even when he goes over to the coach to get plays) enough hits and his accuracy will tend to get him off -target. I think you over looked last weeks opponent, I know you will come out hitting on all cylinders  and believe you can beat the  striped donkeys. Pulling for you E. C.

Tatum was in the same district and 4a div 2 last year. I thought this was abut Newton anyway.

May God bless our veterans. so many soldiers didn't make it and others  have  battle scars forever for  America. (Our Country) I cannot express enough appreciation for these great Hero's. Thank You!

Long time ago, someone asked what a great coach was? Someone replied ,Bear Bryant because he can take his team and beat yours and the next week take your team and beat his team. Good coaches seem to make fair athletes become good athletes ,good athletes become college material. good coaches seem to get the most out of what they have and know how to use them.JMO 

good coach + good off-season program.

I pray for the Lord to heal him and take care of him with a speedy recovery.

I like B C over Silsbee , the Cardinal ground game will wear you down.I don,t see Silsbee stopping them. I believe the Cardinal offensive line to be good. JMO

Prayers sent for Beckville player.

Prayers for Mike ,family and friends. My prayer is for the lord to be your comforter,your friend and companion.

Prayers for family and community of Alto.

I have heard that Newton has a good pass defense, I guess we will find out Friday night . we need to bring our A game this week,sometimes on offense we seem not to  have the knock -out punch I have gotten used too.JMO

football at Newton is broke up into Pre -dist which they try to get the right people in the right places and play sound football against good teams, ( we are 1-4, no big deal ) then district which we hope to win every game in dist, these game count. Then if we make it to the play-offs, we play till we lose. Last year it was sometimes in Dec. I believe I will tell you what our problems are in December. JMO

if Jasper mixes pass and run they will be ok. Bridge City will pound the ball in between tackles and will wear you down. My pick is Jasper but each team scores 28+ points. Jasper 35-28

I am a Newton fan and I feel we will not win, I just hope we can compete with West Orange. I hope we match up to them better but we have so many going both ways the 4th quarter belongs to the opponent and we cannot afford to get anyone hurt or sick. Surrender is not in us but we are bruised up somewhat, anyway I hope it is a decent game. West Orange would rough up Henderson, Newton was behind Henderson 11-8 at halftime but ran out of gas( halftime stats showed we probably out played them and the 6 turnovers didn't help us)
