Newton Coach Curtis Barbay Passes Away....Texas Loses A Legend


Guest Jmeek

Recommended Posts

Just a few particulars.   Curtis Barbay was born in Port Arthur and graduated from Bishop Byrne High School in Port Arthur.  After attending Lamar University, Coach Barbay started his coaching career as an assistant at Bishop Byrne in 1965.

In 1968, he took an assistant coaching job in Newton.  In 1974, he replaced Lidney Thompson as head coach.  With Barbay as head coach, Newton won 20 outright district championships and qualified for the playoffs 28 times, including a current streak of 15 in a row.  They have appeared in 7 state quarterfinals, 5 state semifinals and 3 state championship games, taking the state titles in 1998 and 2005.

Last night at halftime, Coach Barbay was taken from Cougar Stadium in Buna by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont and passed away from a reported heart attack approximately 2 hours ago.

Curtis Barbay is survived by his wife, Mona, two sons, Brian, head coach at Coldspring-Oakhurst High School, and Darrell, head coach at Anahuac High School and daughter, Kelly.

To Mrs. Barbay, Darrell, Brian and Kelly,

Your husband meant so much to so many. However, the love we had for Coach Barbay is dwarfed by the love he had for you.  

From a community still feeling the pain of a beloved, prayers from Orange, by way of Katy are with you.

A legend among high school coaches and big shoes to fill on the football landscape. He was definitely one of a kind. Prayers go out to his family, friends, players and former players. God bless!

    • Since u drug me down here to the bottom of the barrel I'll humor us all with another opinion from outside the box.  Epstein didn't kill himself. Aliens did it. No really hear me out and try to keep up with the changes. In 1954, JROD was at Area 51 when Ike met with them to discuss the friendly takeover. Everything since then has been played out on Shakespeare's stage. Predicted, planned, rehearsed by the original Ai. Remember all technology is at least 30 years behind the government, military, secret society of billionaires. Whatever you wish to call it, it's all the same.  Now we have wars in every aspect of life. Politics, religion, race, migration, and even climate. Enough power plugged into doppler radars to ionize the atmosphere. Cloud seeding missions overnight infront of the hurricane. This is not from Chinese drones. This is our own government and military doing everything they possible can to sabotage the Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina elections. Oops wrong topic. For real though. We need to be thankful they didn't decide to hit us here in SeTx. Musk is a smart man. But not smart enough to distance himself from a political climate that will surely cancel his private space expeditions. Especially now that he joined team Trump. He's also been saying alot about the black budget military programs that Congress has no access to. Claiming the UAP phenomenon is new technology reverse engineered from recovered alien ships. They're here. They walk amongst us like everyday citizens. Many have entered the world of politics. And many have become very wealthy individuals developing new technologies. Trump is another in a long line a bad men that have won over the hearts and minds of many. This is because we the people lean toward leaders. And bad men sometimes fit into that category. Whatever he did or didn't do was just as bad as whatever Harris has done. Or not done? There are no good candidates. Hasn't been since I've been voting. Nobody gets to run for office without the expressed "non" written consent of those in true power. Who by the way control both sides of the aisle. Which brings me all the way back around to Epstein. A vehicle of corruption and blackmail aimed at control of people in all aspects of our society. He deserved a chance to tell his story. Like cmon Diddy we know you killed pac and biggie. Then he killed the Sting song for the memorial. Smh These people cannot be touched. The list will never be public. Trump made campaign promises to release JFK files the first time. Then an aide recommend that it was still too sensitive. What's that supposed to mean? Sensitive to who? 60 years later when everyone connected to the conspiracy that day would be dead? The same group still controlling things today. That was just the tip and they still denied him. No way would Trump ever be able to fully grab em by the gato and clean the swamp. It's too deep. Jelly said while your fighting alligators don't forget to clean the swamp. That's how it would be for anyone that wants to expose the secrets. The real secret that explains all of this is it's demonic and we're in a spiritual warfare that been going on for 1000s of years. Who's side are you on? All this talk of aliens reminds me of my old friend Hagar. And what he always reminded us. They Boo'd God. Sorry if my soap box runneth over the allotted time. I'll be high up in the penthouse gazing at the flat horizon of our round world til my opinions are called upon again. 🧢🥁🕶
