The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. On Friday Newton will take on Pewitt at 7:30 PM. Newton know how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past six matchups -- so hopefully Pewitt like a good challenge.
Newton brought an eight-game winning streak into their contest against Anderson-Shiro last week; they left with a nine-game streak. Newton steamrollered Anderson-Shiro 47-0. Senior Darwin Barlow, who rushed for 195 yards and 4 touchdowns on 15 carries, was a major factor in Newton's success. This marked the ninth game in which Barlow has rushed for over 100 yards.
Meanwhile, Pewitt put the finishing touches on their fourth blowout victory of the season. Everything came up roses for them against Queen City as the squad secured a 43-0 victory. That 43-point margin sets a new personal best for Pewitt on the season.
Their wins bumped Pewitt to 8-2 and Newton to 9-0. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
