k-villeballa Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Long time rivalry Kirbyville and Newton, what a game this would be. Hopefully Coop we go to 2a next year and keep Jasper and Silsbee on the non-district schedule.
southern-thunder Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 What did Kirbyville turn in for thier enrollment?
BigB BigD Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 If Kirbyville turns in 2A numbers I dont see how they couldnt be in the same district due to proximity. If that were to happen I can see it being much easier for Kirbyville to make the playoffs but that district title would be just as elusive as it is with WOS and just like old times against Newton. :-)
24 over par Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 also would like to know what numbers kirbyville turned in
blackjack007 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 426 i believe...its gonna be real close.
Guest Orangeboy Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 KIRBYVILLE and the Balla- 2A State Champs
southern-thunder Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 426 will make it real close. And I think it is a little early to crown them 2A State Champs!! still have to go through Newton, Marlin, Mart, Tatum and a few others.
Hotrodg Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 First, I'd love to see Newton and Kirbyville in the same district again. Perhaps Kirbyville can make it a game for a change and we get a real rivalry.
Guest V Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 After decades of being slaughtered why would they want to be back in a district with Newton ? Newton did have a couple of down years losing to them but for the most part it was a yearly massacre.
Guest pilot Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Newton numbers increased somewhat this year I think 378.Kirbyville would be nice to have back in the district because of the Natural rivalry. Newton is going to be good regardless of what district or what size schools they play. This year Newton had 2 open weeks (zero and 5) which Coach Barbay didn't want the week 5 opening. He was quoted in the paper saying he couldn't find anyone willing to play week 5. The larger schools consider it a "no win" to play Newton, if they win people say they should have won, if they lose they are looked at hard for losing to a 2A school.A large part of Newton's success has to be attributed to the fact that they have had the same head coach for 30+ years and same defensive coordinator for 10+ years and the fact that the Newton players are confident that they are going to be competative regardless of who is on the field with them and regardless of what size the school is.... only 11 can play at a time from each side.
Guest kvillecheer Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 i would love to move down to 2A. Playing against Newton would be lots of fun. They just don't know what they've been missing.
HDBobcats9 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 426 will make it real close. And I think it is a little early to crown them 2A State Champs!! still have to go through Newton, Marlin, Mart, Tatum and a few others.You can take one team off that list that Kirbyville would have to go through. Mart just turned in an official enrollment of 183 students . With last year's 1A cutoff at 194 and expected to be a little higher this year, it's good bye 2A, hello 1A for them Mart boys. Just when it was lookin good for HD, with Groveton looking like they'll go back to 2A, Alto turnin in low numbers that would put them in the small school playoff bracket and here comes Mart........... :'(
SPORTSMAN Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 NEXT YEAR !!!!!! LETS PICK THIS SUBJECT UP AFTER THE PLAYOFF, but what a district game that would be.  TO BE CONTINUED
newton_eagles Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 With the successful football program Kirbyville has brought to the table the last few years, it would be a great game to watch. It certainly would add more meaning to a 2A district title for newton........I know that past history doesn't win a football game, but i wanted to throw some numbers out there. According to Bobcatfan4life, newton leads the series 39-22-1. However, newton hasn't lost to kirbyville since '89 winning 15 straight games . Also in that current win streak, newton has out scored kirbyville 556-100 8). Â I'm not saying kirbyville will be an easy win, just simply nothing will be handed to them on a silver platter in 2A like some of there fans think
lsu_fan_07 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 it would be nice to play newton again. My freshman year(03-04) newton was in our district when they were 3a and it was a close game. i think that the score was 14-7.. and yes playing newton was a real rilvary. It seems like jasper became our rilvary my sophomore year(04-05) when we beat them 42-20 and newton went down to 2a. Kville would do EXTREMELY well if they moved down to 2a. good luck kats!
newton_eagles Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 forgot to say that was the closest score out of the ten prior games
lsu_fan_07 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 ok i was wrong but i knew that it was close. i dont member any other games against newton. Just the ones from wheni was in high school.
k-villeballa Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Posted November 8, 2007 03 score 32-21Kirbyville was the better team that year, we just started out bad. Jasper is leading the series 18-3 over us but doesn't amount to anything. This isn't the same Kirbyville team Newton was playing in the 90's. Kirbyville would probably embarrass Newton right about now. Newton has a great program with tradition, but Kirbyville has gotten a whole lot tougher with alot of talent coming up. I hope these 2 teams match up soon because we owe yall BIG TIME!!!!
Hotrodg Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Kirbyville was the better team that year, we just started out bad.I have 11 points that says otherwise.Â
newton_eagles Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Hotrodg, I'm not sure if I read it right. Did he say embarrass Newton?
lsu_fan_07 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 lol..i do agree kville is a better team than they used to be, but newton has ALWAYS been a great team. Im sure if kville and newton played again it would be close.. dont get me wrong i love the wildcats, but newton has won some state championships, i dont member the last time kville went past the third round.
Guest EagleFan01 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Newton and Kirbyville are going to play next year even if there not in the same district or whatever. They are playing week 2, unless Kirbyville drops, then it will be later on in the season.
k-villeballa Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Posted November 9, 2007 Newton and Kirbyville are going to play next year even if there not in the same district or whatever. They are playing week 2, unless Kirbyville drops, then it will be later on in the season.Should be a dandy. Kirbyville would dominate the teams Newton is playing in their district. How many seniors Newton has on their team this year???
