I’m all for a good football team and having confidence in yourselves, but there’s a little thing called reality. Like it or not, we all have to live in it! Not holding the entirety of Newton in a bad light because of a couple of misguided posters, but come on!! Think Newton will roll- and rightly so. But this thread is sure making me wish Gilmer could get it together! For this game, at least! Now you know. Longview paid us off to annoy y'all! Good luck to both teams! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtonNation Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Newton has 598 passing 947 rushing in 3 games. Averaging 49 points per game on offense. Defense is allowing 7 points per game. Gilmer has 948 passing 577 rushing in 4 games. Averaging 31 points per game on offense. Defense is allowing 44 points per game. I am looking forward to this Gilmer offense averaging 35 pass plays per game and 30 rushing plays per game. Newton is averaging around 14 pass plays per game and 31 rushing plays per game. Should be fun to watch! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the matchup looks good at the varsity level for 2018, it would not be competitive over time. 1.) Carthage prefers to schedule teams to home & home series to follow with UIL redistricting. 2019 would have been a slaughter. 2.). Carthage has JV, 9th, 8th A & B and 7th A & B teams. No way Newton fields this many teams. Surratt plays for the future as much as for today. Getting quality games for all sub varsity teams is of utmost importance. 3.) It is 110 miles from Carthage to Newton with some stretches of narrow 2 lane highways. Why go that far for a one year deal when we can schedule closer to home with easier travel, especially on Thursday night, for 2 years? That was not a question. Just a statement.

Sportsguru02 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I hate that we have to travel freaking 3 hrs to play in a mud pit and sit in the rain.

jimmyw Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I expect a heck of a game. Gilmer is rich in tradition and a proud team that wants there swagger back. they will come out with attitude and a determination to set things right . to beat Newton would be a start. If Newton shows up ready to play four Quarters, we should win. We will have to wait and see. I have seen teams have all the breaks and beat quality teams really bad ,ready for the game to begin !!!!

"Gilmer would normally win......" - Up until the last 3 years? Likely. "Carthage is the best and superior to all other programs...................." They are the best program in 4A, if not the best in all classifications, proven by 6 state championships in the last decade under Scott Surratt. "83 Daingerfield Is best team ever..." You'd have to have seen them to understand. 631 points scored (in that era) and giving up only 8 points through 16 games, 14 out of 16 games were shutouts including 13 in a row to finish the season, opponents averaging less than a foot per offensive play? Yes? I'm of the opinion that if that defense would've known that they would set records for shutouts, they would've shut out the other two opponents. They would've found a way. They were that good. None of this has anything to do with Newton, and the Eagles will likely put a whooping on a "down" Gilmer team. It is what it is, and unless we regain the fire in our belly, we're likely to see a couple more in district. I just hope we can give y'all a decent game. Nothing would make me happier than to see our team play much better after being embarrassed last week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rykerx144 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Agree, good luck to both. It's just been fun talking it up. Gilmer has earned its respect and even though I think its Newtons to lose I would never count Gilmer out. They have the athletes and tradition to turn it on any week. Just ready to enjoy this one, either way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyzNdaHood Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I hope gilmer puts it together and get back to playing buckeye ball, this would be a great game to turn it up and ball out good luck both squads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly. And you would be right. The safety was against the punting team in the opener against Kilgore. The TD given up was against Carthage in the 3rd game. A 14-0 victory over Gilmer was sandwiched in between those two games. Not another team even sniffed the endzone the rest of the season, except once when the Tigers fumbled inside their own 10 (?). Even then the defense gave up nothing. I think that team tried a field goal on 4th down, only to be blocked. It would've been a big deal just to have scored.

L-K drove into field goal territory when I think the score was 28-0...…..That was fairly early in the season(thinking the 4th game)…………L-K coach didn't try a FG -----was no need, being behind 28 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGTEX1972 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Gilmer could be 2-3 going in to Bullard game. Bullard and Spring Hill are then must win games leading up to PG who showed they can be beat. We need to get healthy and our young guys have to start playing better. Let’s just hope our hurt guys are back by Bullard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
