*Newton vs. Dangerfield Playoff Updates/Newton Falls Short!

[ChampionEagles]

Not to mention he never said "We did not play anyone good" or whatever ECBucFan twisted it into.

What he said was a response to a question by a reporter about a win by a big margin, in the context of a discussion about gearing up for a playoff run.

His actual response was "Well we haven't beat anyone good yet."  The obvious reference being the losses to CC, Diboll, and Kirbyville.  His inference was to slow down on the back patting.  Sure, indirectly that says the team he just beat was not very good, but guess what..they were not.

The main point here is that anyone with their feelings hurt over that comment are going a pretty good bit out of their way to get offended.

This is probably one of the same guys that put out the rumor Newton was "scared" to play against Tramain and the Bucs over the last couple of years. I have to laugh about all this. All you have to do is ask Ozen, West Orange, Silsbee, Jasper, Carthage, etc. about Newton being "scared" of anyone.

I'm proud to be a Newton fan and proud of this group of boys that gave it their best effort. They never gave up, the sign of true champions. We will once again support them next year.

Totally agree!  Got to see Newton play once this year, and as always, good fan support, great coaching, and the boys playing with heart!  Thats what high school football is all about!  Great year, Newton....looking forward to seeing you next year!
