Curse of the Black Eagle. Don't forget. Things seem to be in Sealy's favor.

[footballfan]

Heeee's Baaaaack!!!

[bros543]

i would never count sealy out, they seem to find a way most of the time. good luck to my clawed friends from across the prairie.

All of you who were predicting shutouts and massacres, 29 - 25 is a darn good game. Sealy had over 300 yards rushing and scored four touchdowns, including two unanswered TD's to take the lead 25 - 23 with just over seven minutes in the game.
To all the Newton players, coaches, and fans: That is a darn good team you got there and best of luck in the coming weeks.

[Backwoods]

Thanks Turtle:
It's a shame one team ended its season there. If you have a Iron Man Award, give it to #4 the quarterback. That's one tough young man. How he kept getting up and going is beyond me. I take my hat off to him and Sealy.

Newton's defense was on the field the whole game it seemed like. Newtons offense wouldn't have fumbled three times they had the ball in the second half, im saying it could have been 42 to 6. Miscues like that haven't happened all season.

[Sawyer21]

Fumbles are a part of the game, it hurt Sealy early, and Newton late. It all evens out. Accept the fact that you guys came loaded with the best team you've had since '98 and couldn't blow the Tigers away. Sealy put 365 yards on your "mighty" defense, but the only stat that really counts in the one on the scoreboard!! It was a good high school football game, your team won. Good luck this week against China Spring, but you better watch out for either Rice Cons. or Giddings in the next round. Rice's defense is much better than anything you've seen!!!

[Tiger Turtle]

Ask Coach Barbay if the quality of the opposition might have had something to do with the fact that Newton didn't dominate Sealy like they have been doing other teams. At the staff meeting to arrange the game, Barbay supposedly said that Sealy's offense "concerned" him. I bet he was even more concerned about midway of the 4th quarter. It was a great game, that came down to the kicking game (safety on a botched punt and two extra points) like I predicted in my post of last week. Good luck to Coach Barbay and the Newton program through the rest of the playoffs.

[duckbutter]

Barbay wasn't the only one concerned in the 4th. Sealy had an outstanding running game and a very good qb. If Sealy would have had a defense as good as their offense they would have been playing China Springs this week instead of Newton. But we will take a win no matter how ugly.

wow, i guess i need to watch that tape again... i didn't realize those were the only errors Sealy made that cost points on the board...

sawyer21,
i have also heard of GATA and it is still used. krunk is some other kink of "lingo" i wouldnt be to familiar with.

[Tiger Turtle]

No one said those were the ONLY errors that cost Sealy the game, you knucklehead. Those are the obvious differences from the kicking game. The only difference between the Sealy-Newton game and the Sealy-Madisonville game is that this week Newton made the one play that won the game and last week Sealy made it. Newton was one play (that 60-yard pass in the 4th quarter) from playing basketball this week. I hope for Coach Barbay and the team's sake they are more focused this week. If we have to lose, I want it to be to the state champions, so GO Eagles!

[fullhouse]

just protecting my cubs, Turtle.....

Your wish will be granted, Tiger Turtle. Thanks for the support.

[Tiger Turtle]

I'm not criticizing anyone - just pointing out that both Sealy and Newton scored four TD's and each went for two once and failed. Of the other three conversions, Newton picked up 3 points, Sealy 1 (difference = 2) point. Sealy also had an unforced error (tennis term) on a punt that resulted in a safety for Newton (2 points), for a total of 4 points, which just happens to be the exact net difference in the final score. In a big game betweentwo evenly matched teams, special teams often provide the play that makes the difference in the game. This year's Tigers were consistently weak when it came to execution of the kicking game. Through our six game winning streak after Bellville, we suffered no blocked punts and no returns for TD's. Every game we lost this year featured kicking game breakdowns. Bellville - bad snaps, blocked punts, TD return on punt. Sweeny - blocked punt giving Sweeny the ball on our 18 yard line late in 4th quarter in tie game. Newton - dropped and/or bad punt snap (I didn't see the film) for a safety. Kickoff coverage was inconsistent all year. These are not digs against anybody, just facts from a fan who has missed one game (H-F at Pasadena) since 1992. This year's staff did an excellent job getting a thin team (no depth) to a 9 - 3 season, beating several heavy favorites under some adverse conditions. I bleed black and gold, but it doesn't make me blind. Personally, I am not disappointed at all.
