Newton @ Woodville

[Guest A-TOWN]

Predictions

[Guest EagleFan01]

Newton by atleast 14

[jackleg]

woodville by 6 at home....

[24 over par]

newton tuning up for playoff run they will beat woodville by at least 3 scores

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Newton by as many as they want.

[NOTWEN]

Woodville always saves their best for us.  They usually play us real hard

[BigB BigD]

I say let Woodville win...Newton will still be district champs and they go the small school bracket if and only if Woodville makes the playoffs.

Of course I am just kidding around but I do want Woodville to make it for that reason.

Woodville will get in anyway they need to win the last game against hemphill and i think they will do that. They always play newton tough but newton will pull it out.

[Guest pilot]

Although possibly advantages to Newton if Woodville does make the playoffs Woodville may have to depend on other district teams to get in...

1. Woodville just got beat by Corrigan

2. Woodville beat San Augustine last week

3. Hemphill beat Corrigan last week

4. San Augustine beat Hemphill earlier

5. Woodville may have to beat both Newton next week then Hemphill to get in the playoffs depending on how the other teams play out...

6. I'm going from memory but I think in district play Corrigan has 2 losses, Hemphill has 2 losses, San Augustine and Woodville currently have 1 district loss, Newton has none, Shelbyville is probably out of the picture.

Unless Newton falls apart it will be interesting to see how 2nd and 3rd place in district plays out.

As far as the Newton vs. Woodville prediction… Newton by 17+. Newton has been playing 2nd team offence starting in the 3rd quarter the last couple weeks. Newton could have run up a mighty large score against both Shelbyville and Hemphill if desired…

[LionHeart]

I was told a couple of years ago that this game was called " The Eagle Bowl"....not sure....

but newton will most likely win by at least 20+.....

[Guest Pirate V Ball]

Newton by a bunch.

[footballfan5261]

newton by a td or maybe 2. Woodville is at home and willl bring the A game

[24 over par]

i would like to see the standings from this district and the play off possiblities

[SteelerCzy]

Newton by as many as they want.

I agree.

[Hotrodg]

Going from memory here, so forgive me if I am wrong but the standings at the moment are:

Newton 3-0

Woodville 2-1

San Augustine 2-1

Corrigan-Camden 1-2

Hemphill 1-2

Shelbyville 0-3

The big games (in terms of how things shake-out) in my opinion are CC vs SA this week and Woodville vs. Hemphill next week.

Assuming Newton wins out, the loser of the CC/SA game is likely out and the winner of the Hemphill/Woodville game is in.

[Hotrodg]

Just ran through the scenarios and confirmed.

Unless Newton drops a game or Shelbyville wins one the number 2 and 3 spots are decided by the CC/SA and Wood/Hemp games.

For the purpose of this theorycrafting we'll say Newton will win out and Shelbyville will lose out.

Consider the first game mentioned. CC vs SA this week.

A CC win creates the following

Team   W   L

New   4   0

Wood   2   2

SA   2   2

CC   2   2

Hem   2   2

Shel   0   4

CC plays Shelbyville and SA plays Newton in week 10. That would almost certainly put CC in at 3-2 and SA out at 2-3. Woodville meets Hemphill in week 10 and in this scenario the winner makes the playoffs at 3-2, the loser stays home at 2-3.

In our other scenario, a week 9 win by San Augustine over CC we get this:

Team   W L

New   4   0

SA   3   1

Wood   2   2

Hemp   2   2

CC 1   3

Shel 0   4

In this scenario SA basically clinches. A week 10 loss to Newton would leave them at 3-2 and in a tie for second regardless of the outcome of any other games. CC is out because a win over Shelbyville gets them a 4th place finish at best. Woodville and Hemphill play in week 10 for the only remaining playoff berth.

Now playoff matchups:

If Woodville beats Hemphill:

D1 Woodville v Buna D2 Newton v Hardin, EC v CC/SA winner

If Hemphill beats Woodville it gets more complicated:

D1 Newton v Buna in all scenarios.

D2 depends on the CC/SA game. If CC beats SA it goes:

EC v CC and Hardin v Hemphill

If SA beats CC it would go:

EC v Hemphill and Hardin v SA

Not 100% sure on the D2 scenarios were Hemphill is in and Woodville is out. I assume tie-breaker is head-to-head. Either way you have two 3-2 tied for second in D2. Hemphill has head to head over CC but SA has head to head over Hemphill.

Newton in a good game

[BadMedicine]

Newton 35

Woodville 21

[24 over par]

great post hotrodg

info really good

[BIGMO44]

Newton by 3 scores.  Good luck to both teams...

[83_Alumni]

Good info, I'll take Newton by 18.

[newton_eagles]

newton smokes woodville by at least 30 like they have for a long time

[duckbutter]

Woodville always plays some of their best games against Newton and this will be no exception.  Newton turnovers and penalties will keep the game closer than expected.

Newton by 14

[Hotrodg]

I think people might be surprised at the score in this game.  Newton SHOULD win but consider:

#1 Woodville always gets "up" for the Newton game and plays Newton tough

#2 If the Newton fumbling, penalty commiting Newton team that has shown up many times this year shows up Woodville could well end up the district champs

I hope Newton shows up and executes, but don't be surprised if this game ends with a margin closer than many expect.

[duckbutter]

I agree.  Newton should win this by 30 but i think 14 is a more accurate prediction.
