Nothing to be ashamed of.  It was bound to end sometime. Congrats on the impressive streak.

I do want to say adversity shows true character. We have been in the same position. Your true colors show when things don't go right. Last night was an indication of Newton's character. First class al

I think you have to consider Newton the cream of the 4A and under crowd in SETX. 

Question is this: are Newton’s quality wins over Silsbee and WOS tarnished any by this loss? I thought Newton would be down this year, but I kinda took that back after winning those first two. I’m kinda wondering if Newton has actually slipped, and WOS/Silsbee are playing worse than expected this year?

Silsbee/WOS both has sluggish games against LUM/BC tonight. 

That’s a question for reasonable Newton fans.

Lumberton played Silsbee closer than most expected, that’s due to our run defense being better than what people thought. But 46-7 (wos over BC) isn’t a sluggish game imo.

I would be lying if it didn't cross my mind. .......... a shutout close lose is different than a close loss  If It make any  sense.....shutouts carry on

I respect that. We didn’t make it to the game tonight so I honestly dk. I’d love to hear the opinions of our fans that were actually there.

I'm not at all shocked by this loss. Newton was emotionally spent after playing WO-S last week. I've heard some of their fans say many times over the years that beating WO-S is as good to them as winning state. The leftover effect was working against Newton tonight. Nevertheless, nice win for Gilmer. They look much improved.

Newton QB under center all night. No shotgun no spread when Gilmer stacking the box. Scat right scat left and up the middle. It seems after Neece left  they have dug out the ole playbook from the past. When's the last time you witnessed Newton not getting a half yard for a 1st down.  Congrats to a good Gilmer team.

They didn't use it as an excuse, but it's a big ask when your kids are going both ways while the other team can rotate fresh guys in at anytime.

Gilmer suits up 47 and plays a bunch of them. I would bet when Newton played Silsbee or WOS the number of players were similar or close.

The streak was bound to end. Better on the road than in Arlington.   I take 15-1 hoisting a trophy versus 15-1 and losing my last game of the season.

Newton will be fine.

As for Jasper, Silsbee and WOS, the playoffs ought to be fun.

Silsbee suits out 34 on varsity. Newton suited out 30 against Silsbee.

The score was 15-7 with 20 seconds left in the first half. They broke it open in the second half. Playing a half like that against a decent team will get you beat.

That’s why I said “sluggish.”

One of the Newton posters mentioned a “hangover effect” for the Eagles after the WOS/Newton game week before last. Could be.

Bucks held the Eagles to 115 total yards. 72 rushing and 43 passing. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that is how we would win. 

Me too. I picked Gilmer to win but in a 34-28 type game. A shut out was never considered a possibility. Particularly for a team who had given up 108 points in first 4 games. (27 points per game)

They were playing inspired with a loss to avenge and it looked like Newton forgot how to block.

This lose means nothing other than an end to a win streak. Hopefully we learn something from this and improve. If you’re worried about a win steak start scheduling lesser opponents. You have to be challenged, to get better. One thing for sure, we learned we’re not invincible. That might be a good thing. The players have to execute their assignments and not think all they have to do is show up. Where we  go from here is dependent on how the players handle this. If they go and give it their  all, that is all anybody could ask. Being beat by a better team is nothing to be ashamed about. All we can do is support them, win or lose. Go Eagles

      A few Board of Regents agree for sure. Some administrative changes were based in large part on those moves.  Sam Houston is the only one this remotely did any service and of course they moved on as well.

      The greatest point on all of this, and exactly what makes it a great day in SE Texas is the commercials are over!!!!  Phelan wasn’t all bad, Covey wasn’t all bad, but by the end of it I would have voted for Brewster’s “None of the above!”  Politicians serve their own interests and everyone’s politician is bad (except for theirs of course).  I personally am for: 1) Higher fuel prices, 2) More taxes and restrictions on private property owners, 3) Cancelling student-loan and even credit card debt, 4) Covid restrictions (bring back masks) 5) Giving more tax money away to countries at war (except Israel), 6) Tearing apart the nuclear family 7) Supporting college kids to protest anything and everything they want with no consequences, 😎 Higher and higher food prices 😎  Go Biden/Harris - just MASA (Make America Soft Again), Beto for a high-cabinet spot.

      Thanks for the info, I didn't check the primary vote count.  I was posing that, based on anecdotal evidence, many who did not vote in the primary showed up for the runoff, and apparently voted for Phelan.  My next door neighbors were two that voted runoff only and voted for Covey, so it went both ways I guess.   The Houston Chronicle posted quotes from Covey accusing many Dems of voting in the runoff.  Obviously if they were able to vote in the runoff then they didn't vote in the primary, unless the voted in the Rep primary to begin with of course. .  "Covey’s campaign released a lengthy statement after the results came in, calling Phelan an “Austin swamp creature and King of the Democrats.” The campaign accused Phelan of courting Democrat voters in Jefferson County to bolster his early vote numbers, but Covey did not say he would seek a recount." Anyway, it looks like it's a done deal, until November.
