Those picking San Augustine to finish failrly high, beware, they lost 5 players this year by transfer. At least thats what a San. Augustine coach told me during basketball season. Also, watch out for Anuhuac, they will have speed, and I mean speed. They are a program that is coming together.

badndn you are correct, most people are voting for the players on their team. Therefore, Silsbee is population wise 10 time that of Newton, therefore, Halston Flanigan had 7 votes and multiply that by the factor of 10 and you get 70 votes. Therefore, Halston is the winning QB. an't that the pitts, WAKE UP AMERICA.

What is the difference between DONE and OFFICIAll DONE? I think officially done must mean you can come back and continue to gripe about it. WAKE UP AMERICA!

UIL is putting as many strong playoff teams together in one district. They started this the last realignment. This means some of the weaker teams in the weaker district will make the playoffs and some of the stronger teams in the stronger districts will be sitting home. When these weaker districts meet the stronger district in the playoffs it could be embarrasing. They are not doing the weaker teams a favor by grouping them together. You don't get stronger by playing weaker teams in your district. UIL IS WAY OFF BASE WITH THIS SUGGESTION. HOPE THIS DOES NOT PASS.

Come playoff time watch out for Carthage. I was told that they get that entire mamouth line back. Lost their good running back but most anyone can run through the holes the Carthage line makes. GO STANGS. A Hooks team can compete with anyone though.

If Johnston goes to Jasper several coaches WILL go with him.

There are other reasons that some coaches get fired besides their performance in athletics. But 5 coaches in 5 years ! Remember this school board hired these same coaches. Sounds like this school board need a little reorganization. The school district citizens have to carry a little of this blame also, they elected there people to the board. Board members are elected for 4 years with about half coming up for election every 2 years. Seems like they must be liking what the board is doing for there has to have been elections during this 5 year period. Interesting to see the outcome. Students being absent cost the school to lose money from the State.

I can sure understand some people's negative attitude towards WO-S. We have the same problem with teams in our distrisct that have rarely or never beaten us. What is so great about WO-S? They are WINNERS. The other side of that coin is the LOSERS.

Just joking torbush, but I will be glad when they do announce the choice for HC.

Hate to disappoint you torbush but I saw the hiring list and you were right behind R. Morales, the math teacher from Eisenhower high school

Hope you heard right about W.T.Johnston. Hope Newton worked out something with him to stay.-- W.T. Johnston is a top notch coach and a top notch person. He will definately be a head coach and Ath. director somewhere soon. He is just to good to stay an assistant.

Shelbyville was a game team both times Newton played them. Should be a good game but Shelbyville is capable of winning. Newton beat them 10 points on Newtons home court. Both games were very close and competative. Should be a good game.

Coach Northup told me last night that the time and location would be determined Sunday. Shooting for Angelina College and possible tuesday night. Nothing definate until Sunday.

Maby Rippy Morales has been studying football on SETXsports.com. Doesn't that make him an expert on football. Sure has made a lot of other people experts.

Jaspers next head coach will come from a county adjoining Jasper county. A county on the east side of Jasper. The rumor is that this man is being pushed by Brooks and has been told the job is his. However, the board has the final say. This man will bring a quality program to Jasper. Shouldn't take you long to figure this one out.

Shipper, who is your dentist?

mmccary - sounds like an excuse." You lost, you know it, so raise your hand and show it".

Great choice. Best of luck to Coach Fairchild. It's time to bring the tommyhawk chop to the Reservation. Indian Pride. class of '61.

what a game. both teams were 4-0 in district. S. Aug. led by 10 points late in the 4th quarter. Newton came back to cut it to 4 points with about 2 1/2 min. to play and S. Aug. went back up by 9 with about 2 min. to go. Newton cut the lead to 4 points with less than a min. to play and then stole the ball and made two points and was fouled with about 17 seconds left. Newton missed the free throw but got the rebound and tied the game with 17 seconds. S. Aug drove the length of the floor and made a layup but it did not count because of a charging call. Newton had 7 seconds left and drove the the length of the court and scored with one second left to win the game 66-64. What a game.

It just might be that the one they want will be added to the list. My guess is HC/WB

WELL SAID ,OLGABE. WELL SAID.

THE SCHOOL BOARD IS RUNNING THIS SHOW, NOT YOU PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET. GET USE TO IT. THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME. THERE IS REASONS WHY THEY DO WHAT THEY DO. THE PEOPLE ELECTED THEM TO DO THE JOB SO LET THEM DO IT. IF YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEXT PNG COACH I WILL DISCLOSE THIS; ALL THE APPLICANTS WERE MEN.

I predict HJ 80 Newton 74 Thats my story ans i am sticking to it. Isn't hinesite great.

Newton will reload, could be better next year. If we stay healthy we will make a run at the state title. Injuries hurt us at the end of the year when we were peaking out. Offense should be as good or better and the defense should be a little better also. Had a JV team that was undeafeted and some size coming up with enough skill players coming back from the varsity to make next year a good one.

Newton's QB (Flannigan) had surgery on knee 12-09-08 and now faces 9 months of rehab.
