I think it'll be a tougher year for the Eagles.  The odds of repeating after losing all of that talent AND the head coach are pretty long.

I think the Eagles drop a game or two as described above and probably won't be able to string together the six wins that they'll need in the playoffs.  Even so, they'll end up with a season/record better than all but a couple of schools in the area.

That's my opinion, based on nothing but jealousy and cynicism.  Good luck, Newton Fan.

A lot of folks think there will be a big drop off at Newton.  I'm not sure that will be the case.  While the Eagles lose a big running hoss like Darwin Barlow, they have a number of backs like Kevin Foster who can take up that slack. The big question will be the Newton passing attack.  Do the Eagles feel the loss of Greg Neece and Josh Foster in that regard.  I just don't know the answer to that question.  The Newton defense should be just as stout as last year up front but lose some in the secondary.

Based what I know now, it will be Silsbee that is the streak ender.

Good comments and questions. All which you are correct. And all which I am anxious to have answered.

I think the Eagles will have their hands full with all of the above.  If Silsbee is stacked as deep as Tiger fans think, I think they'll wear down the Eagles.  I'm not sold on WOS or Gilmer this year, but think both will be real contests for Newton.

Not doubting any of your comments CB, all are valid.

I have heard some say that the players will be playing in honor of WT, if that is the case then one question needs to be answered. How hot and deep does that fire burn?

It is certainly an intangible that cannot be discounted.  However, I don't know that it can be counted on as heavily it was last year when, especially in the last part of the season, players were playing what might be their last game with WT.  I would think that emotion would be stronger then than now.

My thoughts also, I don't know if the emotion of last year can be matched.

Silsbee kittens won't beat netwon I'm stamping that!

So let me get this straight.... you guys needed a pick in the red zone to win the State Championship in December....

Then you lost your head coach, offensive coordinator, at least 3D1 players and who knows how many other seniors, but you’re a lock to repeat?

Crying Newton Fan is already my favorite part of football season 2019. I can’t wait to see the tears.

You do know he is a Silver&Blue fan, right?  So other "purple beast" fans in general is who your reply is/was directed to ? No harm meant in my asking. I just curious(and was trying to be of some help). I think your mind is so sharp that it may cut your head off. 

I meant to quote the previous post where AIS (as a good WOS fan) predicted the Eagles to go 16-0.

WOS have a few positions that will need to be addressed. OB, who will be our starter? Defense has always been our strength it will be again. Has our OL improved since last year? Lastly, we need people who can catch the ball, not just one player but 2 or 3 to confuse the other teams defense.  That’s just my wish list Lol, and one more thing PROTECT HOME FIELD, that’s all.

    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up One more reason why democrats should never be in charge of anything. From the article: The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously last week to become a "sanctuary city," categorically withholding any municipal assistance to federal immigration authorities despite a bevy of illegal immigrants arrested there for violent crimes and even violence against children this year.  The 13-0 vote last Tuesday comes weeks after President-elect Donald Trump's ballot-box victory and in the same year that dozens of illegal immigrants were picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers in the L.A. metro area for murder, homicide and assault against children.  So far this year, Los Angeles ERO has arrested 1,263 illegal immigrants in the metro area so far this year, and 715 of them had criminal convictions, according to ICE data. The agency gathered 19,726 noncitizens between 2021 and 2024, and 7,255 of them, about 36%, had prior criminal convictions. That includes 26 illegal immigrants with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide and assault against children who were arrested in the Los Angeles area during a nationwide operation from Jan. 16-28, ICE said.

    • Take a look at this chart.  It shows how many kids per year transfer outside of the District WHILE LIVING IN GCCISD DISTRICT.  They reside within GCCISD, but attend school outside of it.  These numbers are straight from TEA. “TEA maintains data on students living in Goose Creek CISD who attend other public schools”, So we’re not even talking about kids whose families move or who use MeeMaw’s address.  That’s 100+ per year who still live in GCCISD and hitch a ride out to BHISD and back each day.  A lot of cars in that car rider line out of Baytown.  You think at least 10% of them aren’t athletes?  Maybe more like 20%?  C’mon, man, it’s plain to see and like I’ve been telling other folks ALL the successful programs do it.  It’s just gonna get a LITTLE harder to do it after 8/1/25, that’s all.  Won’t stop it, might not even slow it down much, but it’s gonna affect things a bit.
    • I forgot basketball is Division 1 and 2 now. So BH may have a chance 
    • BHISD isn’t all Riceland, there’s plenty of cheaper houses, trailer parks, RV Parks, etc and I hear there’s Apartment Complexes going in soon.  Also, you don’t even have to move there as long as you’ve got a MeeMaw or Auntie in BHISD zone, you just sign an affidavit that your kid is living with MeeMaw or Auntie and they’re in.  Don’t take my word for it, I already posted GCCISDs numbers showing twice as many GCCISD kids are transferring to BHISD than to the other surrounding Districts, 100+ per year.  If only 10% of those are for athletic purposes that’s 10 athletes a year minimum and I’m willing to bet it’s a little higher.   What’s also true and the point I was trying to make there is that as Riceland fills up it’s definitely going to change BHISD.  Those homes start at $500k and run up past $1M.  Gonna be a lot less “Country” and a lot more White Collar.
