Definitely a wild game. Although I believe Newton coaching, staff sure didn’t take them lightly since they were a very solid and deep playoff team last year in big school 3A. I hope Newton gets a chance to meet em again in the playoffs.

3ad1 guys knew how good Hardin was… they played 3ad1 state champs tough last season. They have a huge oline

I was just reading the other thread on this game and the Newton crowd had this as a blowout for Newton. Understandable since the domination they have shown for years, wasn’t this Newtons first district loss since like 2011? With that said, Hardin obviously didn’t get the memo on how Newton was going to dominate them and those kids played their butts off. Very smart football on Hardins side, but did they just awaken a monster and open Newton’s eyes a little? I guess we’ll see

Yes ..You/Hardin  will see Newton again. Hopefully in the playoffs. Newton needed this wakeup call. The no kicker for extra points finally caught up with Newton. The special teams running away from onside kicks like they scared of the ball . Got some fixing to be done but Newton will be there in the end.

Spot on, when we walked into the stadium and I looked over at Newton lined up for the National Anthem, man they looked intimidating! But they played one dimensional. I believe Hardin stopped them on every extra point attempt, Hardin shocked them right away with the onside then quick score too. Hardin should have had another onside kick, and that was definitely a fumble that was taken away from Hardin. Plus, Newton’s QB has a hell of an arm, but they changed their whole offensive scheme for some reason. Maybe Newton’s coaches were a little cocky and didn’t take Hardin serious

When was the last district loss for Newton? Well… before last night

East Chambers 2011 is my wild guess. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I don't believe the Newton coaches overlooked Hardin, especially after their great season last year in 3A D1. That said, Newton is definitely one dimensional (and I was born and raised there). Special teams/kicking PATs have been nonexistent for many years, and it really matters in games like this. Regardless, if Hardin survives the playoffs, they’ll meet Newton again and it’ll be a good one.

Very impressive win by Hardin. Coach Taylor and his staff has done an outstanding job.
