I HAD BOTH OF THESE TEAMS IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO.....This has the potential to be an entertaining game........if both teams play up to their capabilities ..These two coaches should both be up for coach of the year awards for what they have done with their programs....will be a physical game as well....wish I had the chance to see this  one...GOOD LUCK SPURGER AND NEWTON!!!

Spurger wins this one 10+.

I'll be there backing the Pirates.I think the game will be real close with depth being the deciding factor with the phsical play.Spurger has the better skill players but Newton will be deeper.

Newton-60
Spurger-57

Good luck to both clubs in the playoffs.
I sure would have liked to see a Spurger/Woodville matchup,it would have been a gem.

How can you consider them deeper when they only have 7 players they suite out.  Just curious

[aTmfan06]

LOL Spurger rolled Newton lol

[Guest ktzlionsfan]

This game was kind of interesting. Expect for the fact that Newton didn't really seem like they wanted to play.  ???

[/quote]That was the first time I had seen them play and I was surprised they didn't have any depth.In the past they have always had lots of folks on the bench.I don't know how they made the playoffs from what they showed tonight.Spurger looked solid tonight.

[court side]

Congrats boys and coaches
Well played and coached game by the pirates

A little side not Mcgallion closing in on 200 asts for the year

Big game George and Daniel ;D

[whsalum]

He does a good job dishing the ball.Blankenship shot it very well tonight.

[6thman]

Great game PIRATES!!!!
Really enjoyed seeing Whittaker have a good game. Blankenship is amazing. McGallion is always fun to watch with all his unselfish play, he just seem to always know where everyone is. Rawls was steady as always on the boards. We missed Hutto tonight. The bench was productive as well. Can't wait for the next game. Keep up the good work guys.

Great game Coach Isaacs.

So what was the final score??

[whsalum]

Spurger had a butt load and Newton not many. I think it was 70-46,I didn't write it down.

Spurger has been in and out of the top 25 ranking in 1A and newton isnt that great of a club...they have a lot of athletes while spurger is very fundamental...but i dnt agree that their district is weak

[mmccary]

Alot weaker district than last year, but 3 of teams were still fairly decent. 

Me being from San Augustine, I wasnt impressed with SA's inconsistancy played throughout district. 

I dont think Woodville has a shot at beating Anahuac, after seeing both of them play! 

If Newton happens to beat Buffalo, will hardly be a contest against the mighty Kountze!

SA has Centerville first round, pretty equally matched teams, could go either way.  Winner of that game gets 1st seed in District 24...  Seems like they have a easier road through the playoffs... just like Woodville did in the third slot last year.

Good luck to the 22AA teams this week!

First time I have seen spurger play and I have to say I was very impressed. Great ball movement, and a very disiplined team, great job coach and players.
