how many returners do the Eagles have coming back? I know they were strong last year... just wondering if they can make that run again this year or not....

[kcat-fan]

The Eagles may go through regular season without much of a challenge... JMHO

[purpleeagle]

I think Newton returns O/D 8-8
Most of the line was sophs and will return and they are bigger and stronger. Both running backs return. Two of the state 400 relay team return, one at running back and one at defensive back will be back next year. Newton should be better next year.

Lost a lot at LB didnt they? Jenkins and crew?

[purpleeagle]

no problem at linebacker, Hadnot will step in and will be a hard hitter and he played enough in that position last year that he will be ready.

This may be one of the weakest schedules Newton has ever faced. They should roll until the third round. 2A not what it used to be with the divisions split.

Newton shouldn't have a legit challenge until they meet Cameron Yoe again in the State Semis at Bowers or Woodforest this season barring unforeseen injuries IMO.........


They should be pre-season #1

Don't forget about dem Kats!! ;D

[purpleeagle]

  The kats should be much stronger this year. during the weigth lifting meet, at Newton this year, the kats had some big young kids competing.

probably a rumor, but i heard Newton was going to be in a four team scrimmage with Jasper, Marshal, & Coldsprings in Jasper. if so , they will get battle tested early.

[purpleeagle]

A few weeks ago one Newton coach said the scrimmages were the same as last year but reverse on home and away. I was told we scrimmage Silsbee here at Newton. If that is so Newton will be battle tested indeed. As time goes on these schedules are subject to change.

You could be right.  Newton was never really challenged throughout region III last year.  I believe Tatum is the only possible team (at this point) that could step up and have something to say about that.  However, they may still be a year away from that. 

Newton Vs. Cameron Yoe could be the game that decides it again.  It is still early, and a lot of things can happen between now and then, but this is how most will have it going into the season.

Actually, the QB was a Jr. last year, so he will be back to lead the offense.  Lost some lineman, but return a lot everywhere else.  You will also see this in TheOldCoach & DCTF Magazines when they come out in a few weeks, but if the Yoemen get quality line play, then this team can go places.  It is still early, so we will see what happens here in a few months when the scrimmages and the season kicks off.  Definitely looking forward to it.

no doubt, Im ready for the season to get rolling to, and hopefully we can meet up again in the semi's for another good game, and of course hope it is the other way around lol
