And I said Browns physical absence only hurt some. I think the Team emotions may have been a factor. EB had lost to two 3A teams. Canadian had to come from behind to beat a District opponent, Childress, by 1 point. Childress only went 2 games deep, getting donkey stomped by Abernathy. Neither EB or Canadian played an opponent the caliber of Silsbee, WOS, or Dangerfield. My opinion of why may be wrong, but there was something bothering the Eagles. I get WOS and silsbee but Daingerfield would probably be the 4th best team in R1, canadian definitely played teams as good as them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that in a game between two evenly matched teams with 150 football plays being run, there were FAR more opportunities for either team in making plays to win that game than there were bad calls to lose it.

That said Canadian played good, hard nosed, well coached football against a bigger, faster, stronger team. Newton seemed like they felt the weight of the world on their shoulders in the second half but maintained focus despite distractions. I can't even fathom the thoughts and pressure. That's why you gotta love small school Texas football. Hats off to Newton and the class act folks that reside there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtonres7586 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 23 hours ago, Eagles97 said: You can also look at the dropped passes by Newton and the receiver that wasn’t forced out but was called a force out and a legal moved that got a critical first down and the (officials time out) that no one knows why that basically gave Canadian extra life on the last drive. Then you got a big margin Newton win.... Refs were obviously doing all they could to help but at the end of the day Even tho they played ugly they still got the trophy . On the force out, for those of you who have the game recorded, go back and observe the referee ( guy in the white cap) after he finishes talking to the officials in the press box. You can read his lips when he says to the back judge "they said the receiver was not forced out." Then the back judge began to plead his case, and the referee obviously changed his mind. I thought the referee could over rule based on observations by other officials. To me this is what makes the ultimate call so puzzling. God bless W.T. And all the Newton Eagles on a most exciting year of football. Don't think I'm gonna get quite caught up next year. My nerves can't take it. But it was fun. God bless to all, and have a merry Christmas one and all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Bernard would probably be the favorite over them next season. Canadian is a fairly young team this year and will have a lot of their boys back. I would count on them being in the thick of things again next year. Would not be surprised to see Koetting have them back in the state title game.

This is one of those times where I'd bet that if you just told 30 people to guess what someone says by reading lips on their own, you'd get 30 different answers, but if you plant in their head what you think first, and then tell them to watch, 28 of those people would be like, "yeah, that's what I saw too".

My opinion on the psychological letdown of Newton is based on my having a doctorate degree in psychology from Vidor Jr High I’ll say one thing, there were some real good matchups this year (with a few exceptions, Aledo for one) ending with the two 6A Championships. My local West Brook team played a great game, but the Lobo QB’s great arm & receivers were just to much. And I’d hate to have been the Back Judge in the N. Shore v Duncanville game. Must have felt like a bug about be stomped on. Them guys were BIG. And my last comment, where did football season go? Seem like we blinked our eyes and BOOM, it’s over.
