Daingerfield is good, no doubt about it. If Newtons wins it way up to the quarters and they are there, we will show up like last year and might have the same results and then again we might just win. As for our neighbors, K-ville I don't see them backing down to the Tigers either, if Daingerfield goes big school. Either way, if Newton or K-ville is successful enough to get to the quarter finals and play them we want back down.JMO

I want Newton to win but not at all cost. Saying this meaning if La Ray Alfred isn,t totally healed, don't play him. I think we can
win without him if we don't turn the ball over and have senseless penalties. Saying this is not low expectations of Newton. I just don,t want a kid to play on a injury that could be with him the rest of his life. I would say the same for K-ville, if they have someone
maybe not quite ready to play after a serious injury. Yes, this is for bragging rights for a year but  if  we win or lose we both will
be playing next week. You didn't hear any excuses from me last year and Thank The Lord ,I am still around to watch more football.

Great news, I hope he wins it!!!!!!!!!!

The purpose for these forums is in fun and tell it like it is. ( I thought ) The Problem is hideing behind screen names and sometimes saying ugly things toward people and communities. My thoughts are,when hiding behind a screen name to spout junk-off shows our true character. We tend to be bold and tough on the computer ( John Wayne style;rough, tough & take nothing-off anyone ).
However, I think if you have to hide behind a computer screen to say some of this junk that has been so negative. we are weenie-dogs barking through a fence at pit-bull dogs. Anyway, let the players do the real talking friday nite.

NEWTON EAGLES

If Newton comes out and plays error free football, Newton takes it in a close one. If Newton makes a couple of mistake and K-ville also makes a couple of mistakes, I'll take Newton by 1. If Newton has several turn overs and K-ville plays error free as they did last year, Kirbyville should win in a close one. It is for bragging rights and I hope no one gets injured.
We had a great fan and I'm proud to say a great friend go home to meet our Lord and Savior yesterday. Everyone around this area knew him, Cowbow Burnett, great Eagle fan, great man, he will be missed.

1 Newton
2 Burkeville
3 Jasper
4 Kirbyville
all within 15 miles of Newton and most SETX programs when they aren't playing us or 2-4 on my list.

I don't think pulling back or not trying to win with every play is in coach Barbay or  coach Alvarez character. They want to just win this week and let the chips fall where they may fall next week until they are eliminated or they have won it all. There want be
any holding back on either Newton or Kirbyville. I think it will be a hard fought game till the end. I do wish our defense had the slober-knocking attitude and quit arm tackling but  Silsbee's quaterback dodged them good. Bragging rights matters with or without a state championship, I know forty years from now this game will still mean something in these young men memories.

I am a Newton fan but I can tell you, watch what you say bragging or down grading any team or person. I personally think K-ville

is UNDER-rated because of loses to quality teams . We didn't play WO-S or Jasper, If we would have,we might be 4-2. No,K-ville

is  not over-rated. I just hope they are not a sleeping giant waiting for newton and the playoffs.

Burkeville Chronicle

You are either a coach or a mad parent becaus little whomever didn't get given a passing grade. First , if you just pass

everyone this first six weeks, then I guess the kids want remember that no athelete fails the first six weeks. They could assume

that everyone that comes to practice gets to play because with your reasoning, the coaches could not grade the kids according

to their ability. I am sick and tired of the schools rewarding kids for everything. Let's see, they graduate several times before

they ever get out of high school now.Maybe thats why there is so many drop-outs. Heck,they graduated from elementary school.

Back to what I was saying, just have your school board adopt a resolution not to give grades and see how soon we become a third

world nation. A lot of kids are given everything in school so why should he work. Then we send them out in the real world and if

they don't produce, I believe  they lose their job. I was a pretty good athelete in h.s. and I remember the teachers that didn't give

me a free ride (Appreciate it, Thanks ) and the teachers that let me slide. I called them coach.

In the late 60 or early 70 , Newton got beat by Kountze by 60 points or so. Don't remember what there players did. I do

remember there band playing TAPS at the end of the game. I still cannot pull for Kountze because of that, the ultimate disrespect.

I wanted Barbay to score like 300 points against them in 1974 but he didn't. Now O-field helped my feelings that year. I don't even like a band playing that na na na na so long good bye. It seems disrespectful to me.Anyway Karma can be good and it can be a bear.

Has Kountze done anything in football since then. Actually, the Karma should have gone with the band.

Playing good teams ,when you are competative ( win or lose ) makes you play-off ready. I will be pulling for K-ville in all but

the nov. 6 showdown. I hope K-ville goes 12-3 and Both K-ville and Newton Win state.

I know that first of all you have to have soft hands, good eyes, stay focused on the ball and the rest is easy. Almost, if they cal a button hook or slant over the middle 5 or 6 times a game where you are getting blindsided  half the time. Then it turns into gut check time, just as well to catch it cause i am gonna get tattoed anyway. If it hits you in both hands you should catch it unless you have hands of stone, hearing footsteps or bad eyesight. My youngest son dropped a few and we carried him to the optomologist

(eye doctor) and found out his vision was like 20-120. I don't know how he could recognize anyone but he did. Just my views on

catching and dropping passes.

Wasn't that the first year the J. V. went undefeated. Man ,back then you guys had nearly 100 guys out for 9th, J.V. and

Varsity. He was walking on the clouds for a week or so getting moved to varsity but he found out they were salty. He still

has a copy of all but the 89 play-off games. Loaned the play-off games to some-one. I'll try to get him on here to get in touch.

He only has goog memories of Newton and you guys. Even the party after the Mexia game at our house.

I bet that group will never forgive themselves for  a kid mistake. Oops, thats life. In 89 you were a good team after everyone got healthy.

I know Chris missed the first 3 games and some were out longer than that.

NOTWENS

I have a son that played tackle for Newton in those games. He got a scholarship to McNeese and tore up a knee. Wasn't

the 88 team that several players got kicked off the team after the O-field game for messing up big time. Also in 89 the Mexia game still

have some regrets. Only time I ever seen Curtis throw the halfback option pass.

The way Gilmer is playing, I will take the Buckeyes 49-14. Daingerfield will just be outmanned

Man, talk about fair weather fans. WO-S is 3-1 an some people are down on them. They play a  tough

schedule to get play-off ready and lose one game and the world is coming to an end. I remember one year

when Jasper beat WO-S in pre- district. Then, in the play-offs WO-S beat Jasper. Newton almost lost

last night, they probably should have,we were lucky. Anyway, the sky isn't falling and the world hasn't ended.

Just my thoughts about good programs.

I wish we would play again soon. WO-S has beat  us everytime, but we got play-off ready. I think that about half the time

it helped WO-S also. If it doesn't help them or us, why play. Kirbyville can put us down all they want but there players and coaches

know we are a pretty goood team. This is about Newton and WO-S and I hope we can play each other again, preferably in

the first week or so due to tropical storms and the big H.

Rankings in h.s. are for fans like me. The truth is you get to brag and beat on your chest when you are ranked high, but

the A. P. hasn't won a h. s. game that i know of yet. The rankings are more for fans. Look at Muleshoe, i don't know if

they were ever ranked last year. Kinda flew under the radar. As for Newton and Kirbyville, I hope they both win state.

The week 3 Harris Poll in 2a is; (1) Arp (2) Daingerfield (3) Bushland (4) Newton (5) Kirbyville. just for the fans.

has Newton ever beat Silsbee at the new stadium. If Newton stays focused,Newton by 10.

Congrats to both teams, you left it all on the field. great game

I say  WO-S 16-14 in mud bowl. Muddy field is big equalizer,speedsters on both sides will have to run with control. I like

both schools and anything can happen especially on a wet field. As long as no-one gets hurt, this game should help

both team get better. Good luck K-ville.
