Talk about make your eyes water!  Life is short.  Nothing is guaranteed.  Be grateful for what you have and don't stress and worry about what you don't have.  Great read...

 

Good luck Newton all the way to State!

I agree and always help others. Great job Coach. If my boys didn't play at WOS, newton would've been a great place for them.

This was maybe the football story of the year. Great job to the player, coach and writer. Very well done

Thanks Insider for the share. Deviun has been playing with a special fire in his heart all year long and this explains it all.  He leads all classifications in sacks and is totally relentless on every play. Unless you are from Newton it's hard to understand what Coach Johnston means to the community.  He was D.C. For Curtis Barbary for many years and when we lost Coach Barbary it was a no brainer that Coach Johnston would fill his shoes.  The football team is what brings the people of Newton together and a source of enormous pride.  Where else do you see 90 year old ladies at the Quarterback Club meetings?  I mean really.  When Deviun was in his darkest hour he was in the perfect place with the right people to pull him through.  He will always be in the hearts of the people of Newton.

That's a great story. I see it has also made its way over to Smoakys site. We should all ALWAYS remember. Coaches get graded on wins and losses by the fans. To the kids they are many times so much more than a win or loss. Really heartwarming that so many coaches go above and beyond.
