And.. can't be mad at WOS for not wanting to play a school multiple classifications lower... in football.  That's a no-win situation for them.  

First... this game may still happen if Newton wants to continue. 2nd.... playing any other 3ad2 team from our area would be a no-win situation. But not Newton. We want to keep this game for as long as we can.

being tested in the preseason is still better than being tested for the first time in round 4 of the playoffs. 

What I'm saying is that there is so much time between Week 2 and Round 4 that it doesn't matter.  That's literally 12 straight weeks of probably blowing somebody out.. 12 weeks of starters not going in past halftime.. 12 weeks of playing zero situations that are gonna be seen deep into the playoffs.

Does it matter that a close game was played several months before? In my opinion, no.  So who cares if WOS drops the game going forward..

The hypothetical here is that IF Newton drops another classification.. which is what I thought I saw earlier.  At that point, Newton could play any of the 3ad2 schools or wide variety of 3ad1 schools and would still be playing up in the preseason.

If Newton were to drop then it would probably more likely that a 4A teams stops scheduling them.

I'd rather play Newton even if 2ad1 than 3ad1 Hardin or Huntington

Newton wants to continue, WOS does not.

Don’t take it personal,we had to get the boudin balls on the schedule somehow! Seriously though I look for a few more to be dropped so we can hit district play with a padded record and some confidence…maybe Deweyville,Sabine Pass and such would be up for it.

Condition wise? Yeah you lose the conditioning but the experience is valuable. This is really similar to saying that prior years of varsity experience doesn’t matter because the games were played weeks or years ago. Gaining that experience from tough games can be important to a team.

2 games away from state who doesn't expect to get tested in round 4.

The vast majority of teams would love to just make it to round 4.

Everybody expects to get tested in the playoffs, thats why you schedule tough opponents during the regular season to gain the experience…………

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
