Newton needs tougher schedule anyone interested?

[Back2swag]

Newton needs more competion,  would like to see it in 2013 but I think schedule is set. So who wants Newton ??  Why can't Newton start playing teams like WOS,Silsbee,Jasper,Coldsprings, cleveland,PNG, Ozen... like the late 90s early 2000s teams.  Does no one want to take a chance at losing to Newton...  Preseason doesn't matter, maybe if teams around this area would play stiff competion in preseason the area teams could bring home more state championships.

No one likes to lose. Newton would have probably beaten any 2-4A team in East Texas. I think Newton could have beaten Nederland

That's quite the stretch.

Slow down! From what I saw they would've been the third team out of 21-3A. Newton is good, but let's not get carried away.

Cannot do anything about 2013 schedule, it is set.

Will have to wait on realignment and 2014-15 schedules.

I would like to have you drug tested at my expense puddleofmudd if you think Newton could beat Nederland or West Orange. I think they had a very good ballclub this year. Newton could play some 3A clubs and win and possible weak 4A clubs. Good luck next year with the Eagles.

I don't know who we could have beaten in AAA but playing Jasper, Silsbee, and West Orange win or lose gets you battle tested. Truthfully Bridge City was a descent team, Liberty was supposed to be descent but who knew their Star quarter-back was going to move to Shreveport, La to play for Evangeline Christian and that Orangefield's head coach would quit coaching due to health. I wish we would play Jasper, Silsbee, and West-Orange or at least two tough ones but Jasper and us got in to many fights on Thursday night. Silsbee played a pre-district of AAAA teams. West-Orange played a tougher schedule. Sometimes you play the hand you are dealt. Like i said, i do hope we go back to playing Jasper, Silsbee, or West-Orange. I do believe it would be great but I believe we would lose more than win. Just a fact when you play a step higher they will be better. If you can get battle tested,you can lose a game (even a couple games ) and it prepare you for the play-offs.The Eagles of 1998 lost to West-Orange and came back and won it all!!!JMO

Well, it's pretty easy to throw things out there that can

Cameron Yoe was the better team, it had nothing to do with the schedule...Cameron had a weak schedule also, until undefeated Hallettsville.  Newton got outplayed the last 3 quarters of the game vs. Yoe...bottom line.

The issue is playing teams with a legitimate passing attack. There just aren't that many around, especially in the lower classifications. Great year by Newton.

[/quote] OK we know that,  they also got murdered by the refs. No matter now,  we are talking about the future.  About knowing how to battle back when behind in a game.  The semi finals kinda hard place to battle from behind for the first time all season....

yoe was very displined and very prepared for newtons gameplan.

It's not the pre-district that hurts Newton. It is the district. 10-2A needs to improve district wide to have any chance in the playoffs. And I'm not just talking about Newton.

Absolutely correct.

[homegrownheard]

Teague will play yall starting 2014 and so on.. We are loaded and the more we learn our coaches syatem the better we will be.. C yall good Newton ppl n the playoffs this yr and hope we do a better job then we did the last one..

[purpleeagle]

Why don't Newton play Jasper, Silsbee etc...  Because they droped Newton from their schedule. To say that Bridge City and Orangefield were weak teams is not true. These teams will be better next year and competative. Liberty should have been better but lost their good qb by transfer. These are not the little patsy teams like Deweyville played.
Wow, this ought to get something started...

Great team this year Newton.

But before you folks go throwing everyone else in the district under the bus, answer a question. Is this is the first year Newton has won district 10-2A D1?...(yes) When was the last time Newton won any district?...(A very long time)
Seems to me maybe the 'weak district schedule' was the only reason Newton won it this year. Be careful what you hope for.
