How many state championships did Neuman have?  I do not care what coach you hire, you have to have the kids. 

Curious:  Since 2018 Newton hasn't won a State Tile.  Is it because they haven't had the kids?  Thoughts?!

Exactly, we have been dropping in high school numbers. We are the second smallest school in class 3A2. This alignment we did not lose numbers. Hopefully numbers will slightly go up when the bio refinery gets going. Several years ago we had a soph.,JV and varsity teams and now we have a JV and varsity. Our JV was made up of 31 freshman.   Waskom used to be a 3A2 power. As they lost kids there program went south. They are now in class 2A and there winning program will go back up.

Time to pull a little WOS magic.

Get the plant manager to hire the parents with the "right kids"

Right now we have the kids coming up to do the job. Athletes with speed to burn. We have probably the fastest weapons we have ever had.  If we could get Neece back as OC we will see our next state championship in the next 3 years.

Exactly, we are one of the smallest schools in 3A2. Newton co. Is dropping population every year. We use to have a 7th,8th. Soph.,JV and varsity. Now we have a 7th, 8th, JV ( mostly 9th graders) and varsity. We lack in dept. and most kids go both ways.  For example Woodville and Gunter have almost 100 more kids in high school than we do and it gets worse every year.   
Doing away with the Robin program really hurt poor schools like newton. We cannot keep assist. Coaches because of poor pay. The same for our law enforcement officers. Our churches are starting to fail. If it wasn’t for Toledo Bend Lake there is no way I would live in Newton co. I am from Pt. Neches so I have seen both sides.    
Newton co.survives on grants ( handouts).

Have all the local openings been filled now? 

When a new coach is hired by another local school several assist. Coaches are released. We get some of those coaches but they find better paying schools and move on.

They are starting construction on that refinery in Bon Wier which means after completion, a boom of 150 permanent jobs is expected. Could the school district add more students as a result? We don't know yet. The population of the county is shrinking because of the youth leaving and not coming back after college or the military. There isn't anything there. But however, people needed to try and stop making excuses.
