Back2swag Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Newton has one of the best football programs in the state but for some reason they have the worst athletic facilities , very old equipment and cheap jerseys to name a few things , it might be time to do a little upgrading . Guess the money just ain't there or there ain't much care there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the money just ain't there or there ain't much care there. Back in the day when WO Chiefs were changing to the Mustangs, Did we give them all the purple jerseys? I'm not sure, I could be wrong, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleswoodville#1 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Look at the community as a whole. They have a high poverty rate. Which, in turn, creates less income for the school, which effects the athletic program. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalBacker Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 There just isn't a big tax base in Newton ISD. Most of the acreage in the district is owned by timber companies and heavily exempted..... There aren't any industries, businesses, or many nice houses. If they had the money, you can rest assured they'd put it into the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibious Rodent Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I read on here before, teams that win need great facilities. Reckon that ain't the case. Just thought id throw that out there. I remember that thread. Didn't agree with it necessary but it does help. Your right, people in Newton or impoverished for the most part. But they are a close knit, that support each other, and the football program.

I remember that thread. Didn't agree with it necessary but it does help. Your right, people in Newton or impoverished for the most part. But they are a close knit, that support each other, and the football program. I read it too. i completely agree - it helps but isn't necessary. Last I checked, Newton was in Jerry World again this year, and Highland Park wasn't. You also hit the nail on the head about Newton folks. They may not be the richest folks, but I promise you they are some of the best folks you will meet. And it shows with their children.

oldschool2 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Home of the Scottieshttp://www.texasbob.mobi/stadium/stadium.php?id=256 Not every team with nice facilities win every year. But every single team that won a state championship this year has an artificial turf field and all weather track. Is that the key? Who knows. But it's an awful funny coincidence.

TxHoops Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Playoff wins > than rings says this guy. So grass vs turf only matters in the state championship games. It is not important in the bi district, area, regionals, quarters and semis. Makes sense 😂😂😂😂 Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
