Call off the dogs, errr, eagles.  Put the sparrows in.

 

And that’s not a reflection on Kirbyville.  Newton could do that to most teams in setx.

Our defense was looking good early on. I saw signs of promise, so I'm hopeful we can put it all together by district. But I do have to say....all the buzz is warranted. Newton is VERY much for real. 

[WildcatBacker]

Btw, its 51-0....3 mins left in the half

[3rdandlong]

58-0 half

[ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING]

Run the clock

71-0 final. Nobody will challenge Newton this yr

Hopefully there wasn't any injuries.  Well, got that one behind us.

Can’t say I didn’t expect this.  Heck, I was on the wrong side of a 55-0 throttling by Newton back in ‘98.  Craig will have Kirbyville in a good position with time but you’re going to have to take lumps like this.

Kirbyville has speed and good players.. they will be competitive when time comes. Newton just loaded with talent and speed .. they already ready for the playoffs.  Only one 1st down for Kville tonight correct me if I'm wrong. Newton was kicking field goals on 1st downs early 2nd half.

As good as their offense is, their defense is better. Gimler may not score on them

Unless you know the details of Newton substituting kids in and passing the ball late, it’s probably best not to say this. Very possible backups on the team took a running play and scored late. I’m not gonna tell a kid not to score when he just gets in.

You are correct. Newton outmatched us in every way, even the backups were scoring. And what's worth noting here is that it wasn't so much that we had a bad defense. We actually looked pretty decent on that side of the ball. But against Newton's offense, there was nothing we could do. I'm telling you, if you're on Newton's schedule this yr, be ready. You'll get the same treatment. It may not be 71-0 but I can assure you.....all of you will lose.

If u don't cut down on netwons big ability it will be alot of running clocks. When u plays teams like that u gotta finds ways to slow them down and keep ur offense on the field. But saying it is one thing doing it is another.

Good teams in 3A D2 usually have 1 big time stud and a lot of solid parts around him. Newton has 4-5 big time studs with a bunch of really nice parts around them. And great coaching.

About running the clock. This year your not allowed to run the clock per UIL rules.. !!

[rykerx144]

I have no issues with the score or what happened last night.  Newton was just that much better.  By the time they put the 2s and 3s in last night Kville 1s were so beat down anyone could have scored on them.  Newton was respectful and played very sportsmanship ball.  

[Realville]

Good Lawd ! Has basketball season started? 71 to 0 !!!!

[Old school eagle]

Believe me. Coach Johnston took no joy in beating those boys like that. He did everything he could to keep the score down. I don't believe he threw a pass in the second half. The reserves have worked just as hard as the starters and you can't expect them to give less than their best. I hope the Cats can look back on this some day and say this is where the turnaround started. They have some talent. They just need to keep working hard and better days will be ahead. I wish them luck
