Mcgehee is 8-3, will be 9-3 after Friday night. Ranked 17th in state is a joke. They are a top 10 team. Wake up people!

If you go to the game you will see a top 10 team in Newport! Don't think the 2 teams compare!

Newport beat Piggott much worse than 24-14, but then they didn't play that game in a mud-wrestling pit.

And Arkansas scored 31 on Bama so we're better than LSU. Oh wait, never ever compare scores.

That game that Newport played it was nasty and muddy there as well it had rained a lot earlier that day and the whole week before hand.

But like Oldman says, comparing scores don't mean much and can lead to unwarranted conclusions. At least, I'm assuming that was the implication of his Arkansas/LSU comparison. I was just giving him a hard time.

McGehee was ranked #2 in preseason polls I believe.  Newport knows they are good and if you come to the game you will see to very good teams, no matter the outcome.
Go Hounds!

Very much agreed

[FNL_hero]

Hounds won't underestimate McGehee but they have all the tools to pull away from the Owls.

[Jimbo Morphis]

Hounds won’t underestimate McGehee but they have all the tools to pull away from the Owls.

What tools do they have that enables them to pull away from the Owls? What weakness will those tools expose?

Hes talking bout they have a few quick rbs. Well guess what, so does mcgehee, and guess what #6 is back and he'll be running ball alot Friday  night not just on fake punts....lol if Newport plays like they did against centerpoint, I dont think u gonna like the outcome of this game if u are a hounds fan.

I agree, if they play like they did against Centerpoint, Newport will come out with a loss.  I think the Hounds come out and play their game this week.  Where do you feel like Newport will not match up with Mcgehee?   The game was close last year.

Owls hoot big!

They'll likely have to do their hooting indoors after Friday. Dribble. Dribble.

Boooooooooooooooooooo

[hootingowl]

Maybe what I saw was a bad quarter. Dont look like Newport's defense is as good as it was last year. Maybe I'm wrong we will see soon.

Which wouldn't be a bad thing being they are the defending 3A BB champs.
