Newton boys would come out in the first half with their hair on fire. I think as the teams settled into the game the cream would quickly rise to the top. Had a similar scenario down here Friday. WOS (who’s not quite the team of the past few years) played undefeated 5AD2 Crosby. WOS jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but Crosby wore them down with a 35-24 victory. Newton is a powerhouse, especially in their classification, but I can’t see them beating Carthage. As you said, they’d give’em hail for a while, but Dawgs win easy at the end. On topic, Gilmer is in for a hiney whippin’ Friday. Say, Newton 49-14. 1

In less than four years he has taken a powerhouse and reduced it to not even mediocre. He along with most of the coaching staff need to go. 1

That’s right and if Traylor has been in Gilmer in 15 and 16 they would have went to state then. Like I said before last year was the last class that Traylor had anything to do with. The only reason they went as far as they did was because they had been coached up through the years under Traylors coaching. This year Traylor has nothing to do with any past coaching of the players. It truly shows. You definitely see the spiral downhill fall. Gilmers not Gilmer anymore. 1

When Gilmer was receiving kickoffs Friday night, it looked like they had one guy that weighed around 180, the other 10 under 160........in years past, they didn’t have that small of a team on the field......and on offense/defense they are not tiny, but don’t look like Gilmer teams of recent past......not sure if that is coach related(athletes walking the halls not playing football and/or weight lifting) or lack of bigger athletes in Gilmer in 2018

JMHO I'm going with you on this one Jett. Can't see them folding their tent yet. I'm sure they're thinkin this is a good gm for them to get back on track

I really feel sorry for the kids there. No sense in what they go through.

Already answered this question before. 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? 1
rykerx144 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 I have heard alot of excuses from teams not wanting to play other teams but long stretches of two lane roads is a first. Lol

HearEmaGrowlin Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 DawgNation2015 already gave the real reasons for the matchup not to work now days. The sub varsity situation doesn’t work well for Carthage. It is a long trip, but Gilmer is driving way farther than Carthage would be to visit Newton.

See attached schedule from Gilmer ISD website. This is the biggest reason why Carthage said no.

Lol It’s really not an excuse. Why drive that far when you don’t have too? Especially in Thurs nights. Plenty of competitive teams in northeast TX with full subvarsity teams. 1 1

Your sub varsity argument makes good sense. I was just merely saying I've never heard that one.
Newton2003 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 And if for some reason Newton did kill that 30 game streak what would be said then lol 1 1
