August 6--- practice starts August 10--- first day of contact August 18 --- first day team can scrimmage. 33 days until 1st scrimmage. Three weeks untill practice starts.

Word is that last years QB, Mcbride and his brother is trying to transfer to Newton. Burkeville lost about 7 starters last year because of the previous hurricane and their enrolement is dropping. It will be hard to rebuild that team with so few players to work with. I think the brothers will be disappointed if they transfers because Newton is loaded and they may be riding the bench. Burkeville had to pay the state back about 250 thousand dollars because of enrolement drop last year. They had to cut back on teachers. If they get the right coach that little school may recover in a few years.

How about how to get to your favorite stadium. There is a web site called Texas High School Football Database.. www.texasbob.com/football Gives you the stats and directions to every football stadium in Texas, even the clall A stadiums. Really a big help with new unfamiliar stadiums. Gives you the type of grass, seating capacity,map, etc..

67 yards----Russ Cowsert from Dallas Christian vs FW Nolan in 1987. No, I did not actually see it. Heck, I can't see that far. Read this in the Texas Football magazine in the High School Records section. Can you imagine.

Glad to see Buna has a good program going. Your team has earned respect. Keep up the good work and good luck in 07.

Come on new Indian, God is spelt with a capital G, not a little g.

Year in and year out there is not a lot of difference in talent from the district schools. Its how you develope and mold that talent . Its not amazing that Hooks and Barbay keep winning teams every year. It comes down to coaching. Put Hooks at PN-G and that program will elevate. Remember a man named Etheridge.

Kirbyvilles program has been getting better every year. That district will be a tough one this year. Whoever comes out of that district will be ready for the playoffs. WO/S and Kirbyville will be two of those teams. Kirbyville could have the best team and still lose to WO/S

yes, E.Chambers, you have a great football program and a great team, not only in football but in Basketball also. Hope you have a great year and I think you will go a long way in the playoffs. Good luck from a Newton fan.
