Wall will have to rely more on their coaching and being in the right position on defense during those runs… probably not the first time they have faced a more athletic team. But Newton definitely is far superior team athletically speaking 

Wall was at state in track and got 2nd in the 2×200, won a baseball championship, went deep in basketball and football. Wall definitely has athletes. Most don't want to give them credit because they are west trxas.

Wall's also more athletic that many give them credit for...they did win state in track not long ago 

This right here... most on here didn't give them a shot and called for a blow out.

For some reason I didn't know that Newtons QB is a freshman.

Don't know what that has to do with anything but wall is not given credit as an overall program

[NDNWarrior]

I think coaching is key. Newton is being out coached.

Good year for newton, they had spies on no.3 and 5. Just good coaching.Anywhere they went the linebackers followed. They had a good game plan. I do not think people knew just how good Gunter was. 

[Setx fan]

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

I said the same thing... Newton fans got cocky talking about blowing this team out and how they could win 3ad1 this year. They counted their chickens before they hatched. I remember when Franklin was told that Canadian was going to blow them out in 2020 and wasn't given a chance. If not for a missed fg Franklin could have 3 peat. Wall is better then people let them to believe. Anyone who beats Gunter has a stout team.

Gunter is Gunter at the 3ad2 level had had not lost to a 3ad2 school since state 2021

[AggiesAreWe]

I think it's imperative that Newton score on their first drive. 

[AggiesAreWe]

Another pre-snap penalty for Newton on 3rd and short.

Flags are also killing Newton tonight 

[AggiesAreWe]

Newton defense has to step up now.

Some of the flags against the offense look questionable to me

The seem legit to me. I have no dog in the fight. Newton is just getting handled right now. Plenty of time to turn it around.

[AggiesAreWe]

The fact that Newton is averaging 65 points a game in the playoffs but only have 8 tonight says a lot about this Wall defense.

Eagles pinned back. Got to go 98

[lionpride08]

Where are all these people that called for a blow out? @jds82 said Newton would score 50+ and win by 30. They still have a chance to win but got a uphill climb to make.

[AggiesAreWe]

That was a must score and two pointer for Newton

25-16 Wall

3:25 3rd

98 yard drive
