Woodville (39) @ Newton (44) - FINAL

[TrojanWarrior08]

Congratulations Newton and Woodville yall almost had it.  (BTW I had Woodville winning this one).  Once our game is over I will update my personal rankings for our district.

Crap, shouldn’t have changed my pick

Pretty good showing woodville,

For the second week I might add

Hmmm I know this is probably against UIL rules, but my thought is that Woodville should take these last two non district games and rest (forfeit), figure out their identity as a team (coaches included) and start district play on a clean slate. What say ye???

There is nothing wrong with Woodville. They are a very good team and has played two consistently great programs back-to-back, while barely coming up short in both. The 0-2 record does not reflect a bad team by any means. Woodville will be just fine and will beat a lot of teams this year. Good job, Newton. This is a young team and will only get better.

Lol extremely dramatic my friend 🤣. Being real, they just need to clean up some of those odd penalties etc.

Absolutely not... The teams they played are perennial powerhouses where you like it or not which one is a defending champion and the other one has won a few recently.  Woodville played the 2 games on the schedule and for them to be hanging around in both games speaks a lot about them.  I've teased @Woodvillian1980 all night but I'm a realist and not a fool so DO NOT count them out as the rest of the schedule is "fairly easy" and that's start with Liberty next week and I will pay attention to that one.

The biggest issue for Woodville in this game was extra points. Newton completed most of theirs an Woodville didn't. Defense needs improvement too but that's partially because we're missing a couple guys

I agree with you 100%. Playing top notch competition the first two games is no slouch. I would say about 90% of teams wouldn’t dare schedule back to back teams on the caliber of Franklin and Newton. It should bode well for Woodville down the stretch. I’m sure they’re not happy about the result but shouldn’t be discouraged. Keeping their focus and continuing to grow is what they need to do.

I just dont understand why you kick a on-side kick and give them a short field...smh.

[Woodvillian1980]

I think they will have no problem in district though.

I understand your point but I think it's pretty clear we had trouble stopping Newton's offense. Why not try an onside when we've had success with it in the past? Especially in a non district game that really doesn't count for anything other than bragging rights 

[GATA!]

Both teams fumbled, both teams had penalties, both teams had injuries, both teams took a kickoff to the house and both teams played hard! Great first showing for this young Newton team.

Newton definitely got some young gunz on that team. Freshman running back and lots of sophomores up front. Should be really good in the future 

[OleMoe]

Newton not rebuilding they just reloaded. Great game both teams.

[jds82]

I’m sure it’ll feel great for Woodville to not lose another game from next week until the final district game. It certainly can be done and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens

Because Newton was returning the pooch kick to close to the midfield anyhow.

[BADSANTA]

Woodville will go 2 or 3 rounds deep in the playoffs.

I agree. I think 3 depending on coaching.

Yeah, I thought I read that... onside kick up by 1 with 3 minutes to go???? What am I missing here?

What I think will set them apart is cutting down on the penalties, turnovers, and coaching adjustments

Yes, forfeit the last 2 games making your record 0/4. That’s how you get respect. 

[GATA!]

Anyone have the stats on this game?
