Actually, Newton's current run is better than that.  They have taken 3 of the last 4 from the Mustangs (they won the 2014 game as well).
AND NOW, you know why I didn't West Orange-Stark when answering the question and just stated Class 4A Division II State Champs to show that it takes a pretty good team to do what one person, who has happened to be documented as wrong here 3 times in the last 2 days (at least), cavalierly believes will happen Friday night.
My fondest hope is that next week there is a WO-S/Newton thread because that would indicate progress on a number of levels.  However, let's wait until then.

By the looks of our schedule we will be but I want to see what we can do come playoff time so let's take it one game at a time

I hope Trojan football 🏈 on the way up. Last couple of seasons were not too good. @Hagar & @TrojanWarrior08

Hi this is TrojanMoJo🏈🏈!! I do not usually reveal my career. I am one of 2020 American Heros!! I am nurse 👩‍⚕️. So i have been able to catch on football!! Just thanking the God lord above Texas Football will go on!! 

Well do you guys have any 7th or 8th graders that look promising for the future

And after seeing what I saw from our team I would say that we will win all our games this season until we get to Crockett... It will be a toss up and they definitely want revenge against us especially how we handled them on the basketball court earlier this year

Yea we're 3A D1 but have the athletes of a 4A D2... That's why we usually play up most times although not the case this year 

I would say mostly Manvel and Alvin... Shadow Creek was amazing throughout the program's first few seasons and still are and Manvel is Manvel as usual

He's referring to Diboll

I got to Lumberton at the end of the 3rd quarter with Coldspring up 20-17. Trojans scored early in 4th to go up 27-17 but Lumberton answered right back with a score and two point conversion to make it 27-25. Was about 7 minutes left in game at this time. CS drove down to Lumberton 3 yard line but was stopped on downs with around 2;30 left in game. (not sure why CS decided to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking FG to force Lumberton to score TD). Raiders had only 1 timeout left and needed to get to at least the Trojan 25 yard line for a game winning FG attempt. Lumberton picked up a first down but then took a terrible sack which forced them to use their final timeout. 3 incompletions later the Trojans took over on downs and kneeled the clock out.
From the one quarter I watched, I was surprised a bit with Coldspring. They are better than I thought they would be. But, I also thought Lumberton wasn't defending the double wing offense like they should. To be successful the defensive line really have to sacrifice themselves and take out the oline by diving thru the gaps and allowing the linebackers to make the plays, disrupting the blocking schemes. Also you have to take some gambles with run blitzes at times to get penetration in the backfield to disrupt the timing of the play. I really didn't see any of that from the Raider defense in the 4th.
Coldspring did a very good job carrying out their fakes and staying with their blocks and the backs showed good discipline in waiting on the blocks. #20 for CS is a hoss!! Going to keep my eye on this young man.
Lumberton's offense does look potent. Boykin is definitely a dual threat QB. Be interesting to see how they do against a team that has more pass pressure. Coldspring played more coverage than putting pressure on QB.
Glad I got to watch 1 quarter of football last night.

I’m sure Coldsprings has athletes they always do!! Maybe they are better than what most thought!! 

Good to see Kirbyville get a win but Shepherd is waaaaaaayyy down. 2 offensive starters and 0 defensive starters return from a very mediocre team from last year.

#20 for CS is something else! 

Yes and has very nice size on him for sure something that we need going forward

The moral of this story.....if you are fortunate enough to go to a game this weekend.......SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
I know that there are many who think that this is being overblown and this is some vast government conspiracy to scare us into compliance.  I don't care.....SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
There are some who say that these rules don't consider the current science.  I don't care.....SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
I know that there are many who don't like masks because they are uncomfortable! I don't care......SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
I can tell you that there are a number of UIL rules that many coaches don't agree with, they comply with them anyway because they know that they will face consequences if they don't.
If the UIL is pushed to closing down sports, they will blame those of us who didn't comply with their guidelines.  It won't be right....it may not even be true...but it will be what they do.
Look, I am slated to broadcast the Lumberton/Coldspring game on Friday night.  I plan on wearing a mask all throughout so I apologize in advance.  If I can wear it for 3 hours, so can you.

Prayers going up

Prayers to his family

As we start the 2020-2021 season with our football and volleyball players taking to the field and the court tomorrow, we need to realize what we have been given.
We have been given a gift......a gift to play, coach, and follow high school football and volleyball.  While some might think it should be a given, other states have shown, whether you agree or not, that it is not.
By the dialogue on here, that gift is a very precious one, but is also a very fragile one.  A gift that can be destroyed by a single misstep by a player, coach, staff member, member of the player's family or even friends or fellow students. 
We ALL know the protocols...not all of them are pleasant...many don't agree with them.  But if we do not follow them and destroy this gift we have no one to blame but ourselves...no politicians, no doctors, no nothing, just ourselves.
I may be the eternal optimist, but I believe in these kids, these coaches and these communities to do what is needed to guide this precious gift along.  Some don't agree with that either, but I have seen some pretty serious sacrifices made to allow this gift to proceed in the past.  Let us root that they will be able to do so this year as well.
And let us all pray for our boys and girls, our coaches, teachers and administrators as they lead us long this treacherous path that is the 2020-21 school year.
