Notes:
The Eagles are one of the favorites to win it all this season. They have a great opening night matchup at Kirbyville which will be a great one to watch. Newton has a great rushing game led by RB's Bennett and Jackson. Expect them to have their 17th consecutive 8+ win season and go 9-1 or 10-0 in the regular season and then a trip to at least the Quarterfinals. We may get a rematch of the 1998 3A Division II Championship where Newton defeated Daingerfield 21-0.
