Well Newton looked pretty good tonight scored 2 TD in the controlled part of the scrimmage. Also scored TD in one quarter of real game situation. Had some injury's RB Justin Mclemore didn't play do to a sore knee but coach's say he will play next week against Crockett, also TE/DE Dylan Flannigan got a sprained AC joint but he should be fine for next week also. One of our CB got a concussion not sure about him haven't got an update just yet. But take away the injuries and they looked pretty good.

For the second straight week, the Diboll Lumberjacks took on a top-level opponent and had a good showing.

A week after scrimmaging Top 15 Kirbyville, the Lumberjacks took on fifth-ranked Newton. Despite a strong showing, the Lumberjacks were outscored 3-2 in touchdowns.

Jacolby Spencer had a strong showing for Diboll as he threw for 105 yards. Cornelius Polk led Diboll's receivers with two catches for 56 yards, while Alex Castillo had three receptions for 53 yards.

With standout running back Ketarus Stanton sitting out of the scrimmage for precautionary measures, Kamron McCollum and Kendall Jackson carried the load for the 'Jacks. McCollum finished with 37 yards on seven carries, while Jackson had 26 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries.

Newton built a two-touchdown lead in the controlled portion of the scrimmage before Diboll got on the board with a Jaime Palacio 48-yard fumble return for a touchdown.

Jackson tied the game on a two-yard touchdown before the teams started the live portion of the scrimmage.

Newton scored on a 50-yard interception for the final score. Diboll threatened to tie the game later but fumbled near the Newton goal line.

The Lumberjacks will kick off the season on Sept. 7 at Shepherd.

The Lufkin news obviously has the JV mixed in with the varsity. The Newton JV outscored Dibolls JV 3 to 2. The return they called a touchdown was during the scrimmage which don't count, just as the Diboll fumbles Newton recovered and did not get credit for did not count.

Newtons varsity in the scrimmage scored 2 to - zip for Diboll. The controlled scrimmage for one quarter was Newton 7 Diboll - zip.

Diboll made a good showing and it was a good scrimmage. They varsity went for 2 hours and 10 minutes.

  Newton has several injuries, some from this game and some from earlier in this year. Praying that they all have full recovery.
