jimmyw Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 on texas2afootball.com someone said friday nite 7:30 in Lufkin. I sure hope so.
justsaying Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Newton will play Franklin. Franklin knocked EC out two weeks ago. They will not give Newton a real challenge. You have to key in on #20 he is their play maker. I see Newton winning by 40+.
BucFan Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Please post when the time and place is confirmed! Thanks
ChampionEagles Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 It has been confirmed for Friday night at 7:30 at Abe Martain Stadium in Lufkin. Anyone needing a football fix should try to make it. I think there will be lots of action (translated : scoring). ;)

If Newton's used to grass, they won't like it either. Tell them to get some turf cleats if they don't have any already. That field is like carpet.

SetxFootball Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Lufkin's turf seems a little worn out. I think that's what he's getting at, my not feel like turf at some of these brand new stadiums. But I believe Newton will not have any problems!

The reason is Newton has far too many weapons to rely heavily on Shorter, so he doesn't get as many touches as a lot of the "elite" backs. But I would take him in a heart beat over anyone else. The kid has talent and the mind set to go with it. Franklin will get their chance Friday night to make their minds up about what a great back is. And I think it is Shorter.

justsaying Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 #20 for Franklin is a good player and you should not sleep on him... In fact, you should key on him. Their running game and passing game are geared around him. They also have a good fullback but i believe Newton will close the holes he has to run in quickly. Franklin's defense is where they struggle the most and Newton will be too fast for them.

ChampionEagles Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 And by the way, Kevin Shorter was just voted the Houston area Marine Corps Elite Warrior of the YEAR. They have a weekly Warrior and Kevin has won it. Now he has won for the year. Congrats to Kevin. Go Eagles!!

Making a statement such as this I know is your opinion and your welcome to it, but just because they beat your Tatum team does not make him superman. I believe Newton will match up better and will contain him to the point of not allowing him to be the game changer. Not saying he won't score or get some yards, but won't beat Newton. And if Franklin's defense has any weaknesses, Newton will find them. Too many weapons and speed for them to contain. Newton has faced "really good Qb's" and "this team is the best Newton has faced so far" and we know how those worked out. Bring the Lions on, the Eagles will be ready. The Newton Eagles.
