  1. I'm a world traveler, and I'm very proud of Newton, I brag on my little town all the time. Most people probably really don't want to hear it, or really can't understand what a great place Newton is, or the special bond the people have there between each other. Maybe if you haven't visited other places or spent extensive time in other places, maybe even you or someone who never lived outside of East Texas know what a special place it is. But I'm very proud of Newton and our football program. I often recommend people to read between the white lines. It's our story as well, not just W.T's. I'm certain he would agree with that. My pride runs deep in the roots of Newton Texas and all the people there. All of them. But I'm just stating my opinion on the current state of affairs of our team. Constructive criticism. Some times it hurts to be criticized. We've all felt that sting. If not, it's because you've never been challenged and that makes you and underachiever. I respect you my brother, and everyone on the coaching staff.
  2. My side is, I'm and Eagle fan! But if there is problems, fix them. If there is problems in the company you work for, find out the root cause of the problems, and fix it, and make your company more profitable and productive. Same with your political affiliation, nobody's perfect but everyone can improve. Same applies here. You may not agree with my analogy, and, I may not agree with yours. I'm going to state my opinion and that doesn't make me ignorant, as you say. It likely say more about you, than me. I don't kiss any coach or politician or any one elses rear. If anyone that goes to Newton's games, and keeps up with Newton football can't see that, Newton isn't playing at their potential, it's just because you don't want to see it, and willing to accept that issue. I Love Newton Texas! I Love people there! I'm passionate about football. But, if I see a problem I voice my opinion. That's the beauty of living in this great Nation.
  3. That little statistic didn't really hold true
  4. Agreed! I know people from Newton don't like to hear it, but they need to fix themselves. If they don't eventually the fans will get tired of not making deep runs into the playoffs. I think you need to get the potential out of the athletes. Just as you should get the potential out of your employees to make your company better. If you don't you may find yourself out of buisiness. I think Newton gets it together in the next few weeks. But they haven't had it together most of this year. I'm not trying to offend anyone, it's just my opinion and I'm going to speak my mind and I'm a die hard Newton fan. You have to do what's necessary to succeed. Get it out of the athletes and the coaches. Thats why you pay them and why they are elevated to those positions. JMO
  5. The fog only benefited one team? They should have brought the fog with them every week
  6. True dat! They are playing terrible but they will probably get it together for a few more games, but they will lose in the end to and inferior athletic team due to the issues you mentioned. I'm a Newton fan but the truth is the truth. They need to fix the problems, by whatever means necessary
  7. Newton has the skilled athletes. IMO They look great at some points and terrible at others in the same game. Due mostly to discipline, penalties and bad play specifically on the offensive line. They obviously have no kicking game whatsoever. I blame discipline, and even the kicking game, on the coaching staff. I've said it before, if you have all that great talent you should also develop a kicker, every year. They haven't and aren't going to change the rules, we will likely be kicking off as long as we play football. Develope a kicker! Every year. Please tell me they are doing that at this moment on JV and 7th and 8th grade. Please tell me we have learned a lesson (coaches). I see Nate throwing off the wrong foot, making bad decisions, not setting up. The kids got a lot of talent. But he really needs to work on his technique a lot in the off season. Same with the receivers. But I direct this at the coaches. I just haven't seen much improvement or more accurately discipline. Having said all that, if they play to their potential, I still see them, in the semi final or state State Championship game. If they don't pull it together, I'm directing the blame directly at the coaching staff. The only team that I believe that has a legitimate shot of beating Newton if they play to potential is East Bernard maybe, and Canadian. Anyone else and it's a coaching problem. Sorry, I blame the boss and brain of the operation to fix the problems. It's a job, just like mine, you took it, your getting paid, it's high profile. I and all the supervisors at a very large cooperation I work for once received and Email from corporate HQ. To put it short, it read. We don't have employee problems, we only have manager and supervisor problems, if you can't fix them we will fix you. Fix it Newton. We have grown accustomed to winning. We demand it. Particularly when you have the potential to win.
  8. I'd have to agree. Newton with 135 yards penalties. They have been penalized like this more than two games this year. No discipline and that is a coaching problem imo
  9. Hemphill beats CC 40-21 shake up in District 12
  10. Newton has I believe 115 yards in penalties.
  11. 2:33 left Shiro is fighting until the end. Their defense is playing well and they have a good passing game
  12. Newton sacks quarterback. 5:43 left Newton takes over on downs
