Wall and Gunter are moving to D1 was the talk..

That sucks. It would feel a lot better to beat one of those (especially Gunter) in the state game.

Trick play and a blocked punt for a TD early and Wall held on for dear life the rest of the way 

 

Yea that's basically it there. They got up by two scores early and their defense was good enough that Newton couldn't score quickly enough before they ran out of time.

Are you serious ?  Most of them were false starts that were obvious on the replays. I never saw the Newton coach complain to the refs about any call. 

I saw at least 2 holding calls at critical moments that I thought were questionable. Not saying they were bad calls. Just saying I didn't see what they saw

Two Newton players in position to recover that onside got in each others way 

One of them had it in his hands. Gotta hold on to that 

Close one. Porter was amazing. Willed his way for tough yardage all night even though the defense was totally keyed in on him. Then that TD catch was super clutch.

Flags are also killing Newton tonight 

Some of the flags against the offense look questionable to me 

Looks like Wall made up their mind they wouldn't let Porter beat them after that first drive. Newton probably needs to try some different looks Wall might not have seen on film and try to protect the freshman QB a little better 

Looks like Wall probably has the best OLine Newton has seen this year other than WOS maybe. Newton's front 7 might not be able to penetrate as quickly and rapidly but if they keep chipping at it they'll make some plays down the stretch. I think it could possibly be close for 2 or 3 quarters with Newton pulling away at the end 

Stangs with the upset. Go stangs!

Right!  So Aledo Texas, a town of roughly 5,000 has some of the best homegrown football players in the state year in and year out for 15-20 years.
OK. Facts are kids transfer to Aledo from greater FW all the time and it is clearly for athletic purposes but they never have to sit out as the rules would suggest with a transfer for athletic purposes. So I will recant the recruiting statement and say get to play one of those DFW area Transfer Portal juggernauts for which there is plenty of evidence. 
PA and PNG are not open enrollment and are working without year to year transfers that don’t live in the district. Which to me makes their recent successes more interesting. 

Aledo's a nice place. Get some retired pro athletes come settle in that area sometimes also. I think Diboll's JerMichael Finley, who played TE for the packers, moved there after his NFL career to be a trainer. His son's one of their top receivers now if I'm not mistaking. They got a lot of resources 💰 to make things happen there and tend to attract the right people to keep things going.

However they share an area with schools that are much better than them also like desoto and ducanville and a few others 

The only real competition they have when it comes to drawing talent is Duncanville. Duncanville might take one or 2 of their best guys every now and then but they still have plenty to chose from within that large population

It’s some PAM fans are chicks poo. PAM isn’t that much different from SOC as far as demographics go. The same dirty bs they did and say about them, we get the same energy. One thing about me, I don’t forget, especially where I come from and experienced. Also it’s expressed on facebook the real beef. On here it’s some fudge kissers, so there is that 

Very simular as far as race and economics and all that but Oak Cliff has like 6 times the population of PA. And yet PA is competing in 5AD1 while SOC competes in 5AD2 because of "school enrollment". Meanwhile the best athletes in the 300000 population of Oak Cliff as well as some athletes from neighboring communities will probably attend SOC while the others will attend other schools in the area. SOC has a bigger drawing pool than PA yet they play in a lower classification. 

Congrats Newton! Yall got it! 🏆

South Oak Cliff shares a 20 mile radius with Duncanville, Desoto, Waxahachie, Carter, Kimball, Roosevelt, Sunset, Adamson, Wilmer Hutchins, Lancaster and Red Oak: 6 playoff teams and 3 national contenders.  So that whole "super team" thing sounds like tears. 

 

Sure, a program's success can serve as a recruitment tool, but anyone in the know will tell you SOC lends out more talent than they get. Duncanville's last 5 star lived in SOC's community. As well as a ton of Desoto's starters.

 

SOC sent more players to the NFL than any other high school long before they sniffed a State Title appearance. The community has ALWAYS been overflowing with talent. 

 

SOC's problem has always been inadequate coaching and facilities. Now that they've caught up in those areas, folk are whining about the talent that has always been there.

 

PNG does well to compete wuth the like of SOC, just like any community. 

Be humble and enjoy the experience

My memory may be a little clouded but I just recall some controversy about a qb that was trying to transfer to SOC if I'm not mistaking. Several others who have successfully transferred in over the years also. I may be wrong about any blatant cheating but I'm pretty sure SOC and some other DFW schools (especially Duncanville) are utilizing some advantages some schools in more rural areas don't have when it comes to drawing pools. Good win for SOC though. 

Good game Indians. Maybe next year

PA by fiddy! Keep going all the way Titans!

Ppl tend to forget what coaching does.. SOC hasn't had a losing season since 08-09... they've always had talent, never got over that hump.... 

I agree SOC has always had talent but you you can't give too much credit for recent success to coaching when there's blatant recruiting going on.

I've done a couple of ridealongs there with my little sister, who worked the graveyard shift as a patrol officer for almost a decade. A lot of it is rough. The areas where most of the SOC players who are actually from Oak Cliff are certainly rough.

That might depend on what you consider rough. I would never mistake it for South Dallas like someone else did though

So ppl just moving in droves to the hood? Yall do know about Oak Cliff right? Not the team, the area. And there's 3 High schools that share that Oak Cliff talent. 

Oak Cliff is a large community. Almost like a city within itself. And it actually has some decent little neighborhoods within it

Correct. Oak Cliff is one of the highest crime rates and lowest income areas in all of the Metro.

State Fair has been trying to figure out how to leave that area. Just too much history there along with Cotton Bowl to pull up stakes.

The State Fair isn't in Oak Cliff. It's close to South Dallas. There is a lot of recruiting which I'm not a fan of in the DFW area though. There's some in the Houston area also but I think the DFW area is much worse 

It's almost like these 2 are guaranteed to meet in the playoffs every year now. I like SOC but I think PNG will get em this year. Go Indians!
