I really enjoyed the game and not just because Newton won. The game showed good sportsmanship by both teams ( both teams helped each other and were respectful for one another ) . The officials were professional and called a good clean game and sometimes the  official don't get credit when credit is due ( if they would have messed-up,several of us would have let you know ). The fans were  polite and courteous. I enjoyed the game . Silsbee  kids and adults are good people. Silsbee football team will get them deep into the play-offs. JMO

Silsbee will get it together.  They have the goods to make another run deep into playoffs. Talent all over the field.

I’be got a feeling several teams going against Newton will run the ole ‘Tango Offense’.
1-2-3-kick

I have covered Newton's playoff runs for the last two years all the way to AT&T. I would never count the Eagles out especially before the season has even begun. Do they have holes to fill? Of course they do! Who doesn't?
Newton has been so dominate the last two years that players who were down the depth chart have gotten valuable playing time, not just in the regular season, but deep into the playoffs. Players who will be seniors this year have played over three years worth of football in most of their two years in the Eagles varsity.
20 regular season games and 12 playoff games. You can't put a value on that much extra practice time and experience. Will they be as good as the last two years? Maybe! Will they go undefeated? Maybe! Will they win a third state championship? Maybe!
With less than a month until the start of summer practices all the questions will soon be asked. Will Silsbee or WOS or Gilmer beat the Eagles? Only the games will tell, But is a 3A D2 team loosing to a 4A D2 or a 3A D1 so bad? Bigger schools are supposed to loose to larger schools if all things are equal. For years no teams have really wanted to schedule Newton in pre-district play. This year when the Newton coaching staff had every reason to believe that their team might be down due to the loss of so many players look at their pre-district schedule.
I watched Coach Johnston on the sidelines while his father was in the press box for most of the playoff games last year. His defense will continue to be stout and the offense still has plenty of weapons. Greg Neece will be missed, but good coaches move on every year and the best programs continue to stay at or close to the top.
I know this is just friendly banter and it will mean nothing once the lights go on and the games are played. But one thing that can't be measured is the heart of the players who just might want to give one final parting gift to their beloved fallen coach.
Just a thought and my opinion... 

Maybe Silsbee but West Orange -Stark will be scarry good.Gilmer is Gilmer,enough said. I will be happy if we are 2-2 in pre-dist. To be the best, you should play the best and we do.lJMO
 

Wildcats win on walkoff HBP!!!!!

Newton job has been posted. I think it has to be posted 10 days. W.T's. retirement farewell was today. Rings were presented. A lot of hugs and tears. This Christian man has not given up yet on a miracle recovery, neither have I given up. Keep your prayers coming. 

Go East Chambers, win it all. Newton pulling for you guys !

Great game West Brook. You left it all on the field. You made SETX proud. I don't know any other way to put this but sometimes it just wasn't your day. You played good enough to win and it just didn't happen. Proud of the Bruins, heck of a game. JMO

Pulling for the Bruins. make Beaumont proud, make SETX proud and best of all, do it for yourself and school. Go win it all.

You might need to ask Daingerfield how them Eagles hit. They don't play touch football up hear. Newton hasn't played up to there potential i will promise you. I hope its a good game but Newton going to be Newton. Newton folks  probably still have  T- shirts that say " if you want to win, don't play Newton. Just saying the Purple Beast will be ready, will East Bernard.

Go get ur done Tigers. Have some Turkey early.so you can have a sweet Christmas.

Watched the game. you left it all on the field.. the two point conversion was like a coin flip. i would have had everyone stacked to stop the big back or quarterback, their coach don't mind throwing the dice, anyway,you played a heck of a game. you made SETX proud. JMO

All I can say is East Chambers  Win Buc's Win. Newton folks pulling for you !!!

Way to go East Chambers. how sweet it is. one game at a time and everyone is pretty good.   a lot  of pride and a dab of luck could have you in Arlington. Pulling for you.

Deja vu all over again!  Congrats WOS!

Pulling for East Chambers but Cameron is always tough and tend to make great halftime adjustments. East Chambers 43- 42 Cameron. Upset of week

My heart goes out to you. Don't know what to say , i will be praying for you, family and friends. we lost our middle son a year ago and still miss him. praying for you.

I know we all have many things to be thankful for. Most of all our Creator, who sacrificed his only son to give us Eternal life. We also have family, friends and loved ones to be thankful for. But I would like to give thanks for ALL of our children who participate in one way or another to the great game of Texas High School Football!  Also to ALL the coaches, parents, faculty and others who support these young men and women. Not just players, but trainers, cheerleaders, band members, drill teams, flag, twirlers, and anybody else that becomes a part of the AWESOME thing we love so much. I pray that all the teams do their best and are blessed with good health and a memorable experience. Finally, thanks to all you posters and admins for making this site a fun place to chatter about the game of football. Happy Thanksgiving!

Newton running under the radar !
