Newton vs Hemphill

[EAGLEFOREVER]

Newton travels to Hemphill, they say it’s the year of the Hornet, l think it’s still the year of the Eagle. What say ye.

Cal prep projects the score 42/22 for Newton.

Probably still year of the Eagle. I don’t think we’ve ever beat Newton. Our offense should keep it exciting to watch, but I don’t think are defense will be able to slow Newton down enough for a victory. Regardless this should be a good game for Hemphill to let ‘em know we’re there at going into the playoffs this year.

Sounds about right to me

It's going to be tough to take Newton down the rest of this season.

[TrojanMoJo]

Newton 42-24

I believe Hemphill will make this a game, but Newton may be too much. Excited for this game, packed house in Hemphill

[Eagles94]

38-14 Newton! Go Eagles!

I think people are over hyping this game…The toughest team Hemphill has played is what? Kirbyville? This game shouldn’t be close

Schedule strength from max preps

Newton 12.4

Hemphill -25.6

Hemphill a good football team with a lot of talent, but schedule is weak but we will see what they made of this week 

[TXHORN_ET]

Hemphill’s non-conference opponents wouldn’t have scheduled the Hornets if they didn’t believe they could beat them. Just my opinion, which doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things.

About 13-14 years ago or so,  Shelbyville had a good team.   They were undefeated in non-district and really felt good about their team heading into district.

 

The problem was, they were 3A at the time, and in a district with Newton, and a Jack Alvarez led Kirbyville team.

 

They were 5-0 and opened district against Kirbyville.   They got beat 61-7.    This game will be somewhat the same.

This game is pretty much predetermined.  I don't think it will be an easy game for either but Newton should win handily.  What excites me is the fact that this district has been looked down on by our neighbors to the north year after year with Newton being the only team that they took seriously.  This year may be different with Newton, Hemphill, and New Waverly.  We all could go past the first round with Newton having a chance to win it all!!!!!!

lol,  I put Jasper vs Hamshire-Fannett  and it said HF 26 Jasper 21

Jasper beat HF this past Friday 26-21

[Dirty_but_Dazzling]

It's been over a decade since Newton lost a District game.  Nothing changes that win streak (in District) this year.
