At home and anything can happen. Newton isn't as strong as last year but they are still a elite contender in 3A. La Vega wasn't undefeated last year. Neither was PG. Keep thinking we aren't as good as last year it will bite you in the but lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyw Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Win or lose, as long as we play up to our abilities,we will be ok. Newton is more of a over 60 years + old town, not retired just over 60 so we don't travel as well as lot of schools but we do enjoy our football and know when you play a quality schedule baring injuries, all will be for the best. I think we can and will win but this game is a game of inches, bounces and breaks ( that why you say on any given night anyone can win )Win or lose my Eagles are getting prepared for the play-offs. To beat the best ,you have to play the best. Prayer for injury free game and both teams to play their best. Purple Pride never dies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember Carthage being there....Oh wait they weren't Liberty Hill beat them to play La Vega LOL...You are probably referring to 2017 I would hope...Just messing with yoi, but a true statement.

It's ok..Carthage is so use to winning State they can't remember all the games. I guess they start blending together. I noticed it in the program as well. I got a chuckle out of it last Friday. When you have a powerhouse of a program it happens lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmer should win this game against an almost 2A D1 team. Newton may fall to 2A D1 next alignment. Then what . I call them Giant Killers. peat..

Sbk5280 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I know Newton is Back to Back State Champions on a great run. I dont care if they are 3A. There are a lot of teams that have fallen to them that were suppose to win as people say. They have a great program and have my respect. I'm not gonna lie I hope Gilmer shows up and puts on a great show and gets that W to end the streak. I will follow those Figs all the way to state after this game. I dont think anyone in their division will stop them. Hoping to follow the Bux to State as well to keep our 5 year tradition going. I'm a homer though lol.

Sbk5280 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 2004, 2009, 2014 State Champions this is the next year in the sequence 2019. It can happen for sure. Play hard and make the most of the opportunities we are given. We have the talent it's just getting them to click a little more, but we still have have more time left before district. Then off to the playoffs for a deep run hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purpleforever Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 This should be a great game, but this is high school football. A couple of early turnovers by either team and it could get ugly. Win or lose this is some great competition. It’s anybody’s game, just like y’all it depends on who shows up. I’ll be there Friday night as long as the good lord is willing and the creek don’t rise. I want the win, but all they have to do is play their best and I will be satisfied. No shame in losing to a better foe. Now, how many points are we going to be down before we get off the bus. I’ve heard about y’alls home cooking.

Our goal like yours is to win another State Championship! Short of that we are typically disappointed. This game is just that, a game. Now do we want to win? Yes just like y’all do. We’ve beat teams 2 classes above us and have lost to teams (Newton) 2 classes below us. Didn’t really think about the classification differences. But I guess if y’all lose it does ease your pain to say well they are a bigger school. We lose we say we lost to Newton and people say well so has 33 teams before you.

JACKETLIFE Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If I’m not mistaken a few years back, Newton was aligned to play 2A football but went to UIL and protested to stay 3A! Help me Newton fans. I want to say it made sports news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it happening but it wasn't Newton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
