theboss4 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Newton will definately win this one. But good luck to OF. It will only make you better..
NOTWENS Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 oh ok then. it was something around 42-14 or something like that. u coming up to the game friday.
Guest bleed orange Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 I played for coach Peveto and it was a battle every year. Always went down to the wire. We finally got a coach who is "Old School" and the kids are buying into his system and they should. "Old School is the only way and I promise you Coach Barbay would agree. His record speaks for itself. He is "Old School" plain an simple. Sometimes a team may not be as talented as the team they are playing but if you do the "Little" things right anything can happen. Go Bobcats!!!!!!!!!!
Bobkat Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 oh ok then. it was something around 42-14 or something like that. u coming up to the game friday. I'll be there...never miss a game!!!
Guest JustAPlayersMom Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I'll have to take Barbay's Boys on this one. I am hoping they don't have a repeat of the Silsbee game. I will have to miss this one but hubby promises to keep me updated while I am driving in from the airport.
the sports guy Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I think its going to be a close one. Orangefields pre-district schedule is perfect for a new system to take hold. This is the week that all cylinders should be firing. It couldn't come at a better time. I'm going.....I have a feeling its going to be a good one.
bobcat4life Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Bobkat, do you and NOT need to get a room???
Bobkat Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 LOL...I was waiting on someone to respond like that. He just got me all fired up talking about the old days!!! And I'll never forget that game, or the Kirbyville game the next week where we upset the Wildcats as well!!!
NOTWENS Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 got me all fired up 2 . that lost still has a old bitter taste in my mouth. lol!!!
ChampionEagles Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I remember those years as well, but had long been only a spectator. Granger was a great athlete. I also remember not liking Peveto all that much. He could get very animated on the sideline. But all that is water under the bridge now. Newton seems to struggle early this year and pull games out late. Should be another exciting game this week.
skyhcky Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I'm gonna have to go with Orangefield on this one.. 26-21. Go Bobcats!!!
jimmyw Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 NOTWENS I have a son that played tackle for Newton in those games. He got a scholarship to McNeese and tore up a knee. Wasn't the 88 team that several players got kicked off the team after the O-field game for messing up big time. Also in 89 the Mexia game still have some regrets. Only time I ever seen Curtis throw the halfback option pass.

NOTWENS Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 yep they got kicked off for drinking before the game. coach barbay found out afterwards. he does not play at all. they were good players and he got rid of them withe the quickness. that mexia game ! i still have dreams about that one. that was a slot/wingback pass
jimmyw Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I bet that group will never forgive themselves for a kid mistake. Oops, thats life. In 89 you were a good team after everyone got healthy. I know Chris missed the first 3 games and some were out longer than that.
NOTWENS Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 yep we had a stable of backs in 89 mclemore, jenkins,foster,brooks
NOTWENS Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 i remember when when chris got pulled up to varsity when were sophomores right before the diboll game
jimmyw Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Wasn't that the first year the J. V. went undefeated. Man ,back then you guys had nearly 100 guys out for 9th, J.V. and Varsity. He was walking on the clouds for a week or so getting moved to varsity but he found out they were salty. He still has a copy of all but the 89 play-off games. Loaned the play-off games to some-one. I'll try to get him on here to get in touch. He only has goog memories of Newton and you guys. Even the party after the Mexia game at our house.
NOTWENS Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 yep we did go undefeated on j.v that year
ChampionEagles Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Coach Barbay is not looking past Orangefield. He said he wasn't going to save anything for "round two" He was going for the knockout. He said Orangefield players are buying in to what their coach is teaching and should get better week by week. He said that Silsbee had come out with a lot of focus and intensity last week and looks for the Bobcats to do the same. Should be an exciting game.
