COACH W.T. JOHNSTON'S LIFE
ALLOWED HIM TO BE ON THE SAME
SIDELINE AS HIS SON DREW, AS
NEWTON WON IT'S FIFTH STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP 21-16 OVER
CANADIAN. "THE LORD LET ME SEE
THIS, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
I'VE GOT, I'M AT THE END OF NINE
MONTHS AND THEY ONLY GAVE ME
EIGHT." AND THE GAME WAS A TALE
OF TWO HALVES FOR JOHNSTON'S
EAGLES.
EAGLES. OFFENSIVEEMVP DARWIN BARLOW SCORED TWO TOUCHDOWNS IN THE FIRST HALF, ONE ON THE
GROUND AND THE
OTHER
OTHER IN
OTHER IN THE SLOT. "COACH TOLD ME TO JUST POUND THE BALL, GO BACK TO POUND FOR POUND THREE OF
FOUR YARDS AND YOU'LL BREAK ONE
EVENTUALLY, MY MINDSET WAS THIS
WAS MY LAST GAME I JUST GOT TO
MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN." BUT IT
WAS DEFENSE WHO MADE THINGS
HAPPEN TONIGHT FOR THE EAGLES.
THIS INTERCERPTION RETURNED FOR
A TOUCHDOWN BY DEFENSIVE MVP
KEVIN WATSON JUNIOR ALLOWED
NEWTON TO WALK OUT OF AT&T
STADIUM WITH GOLD AROUND IT'S
NECK FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.
BARLOW AND SENIOR JOSH FOSTER
END THEIR CAREERS WITH A TWO
PEAT AND 30 GAME WINNING STREAK.
"AND THEN FOR US TO BE ABLE TO
DO IT AGAIN, IT JUST MEANT EVERY
THING." "SO WINNING IT TWO YEARS
IN A ROW IS A GREAT FEELING." IT
WAS AN AFTERNOON WHERE THE
OFFENSE DIDN'T CLICK, THE
PASSING GAME WAS NEARLY
INVISIBLE. BUT THE DEFENSE
STEPPED UP, ESPECIALLY IN THE
FINAL SECONDS, WHEN ONE MORE
PRAYER WAS TOSSED TO THE END
ZONE BY CANADIAN WILDCATS
QUARTERBACK CASEN CAVALIER.
DOMINIQUE SEASTRUCK INTERCEPTED
THAT PASS, POLISHING OFF A
SEASON IN NEWTON WHERE A LOT OF
PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED - -
PRAYERS THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH WINS AND LOSES. "I'VE BEEN
GIVEN A GREAT GIFT, IT'S WHAT
YOU DO WITH IT. AND WHAT I'VE
TRIED TO DO WITH IT IS NOT JUST
TALK ABOUT X'S AND O'S."
I TRY TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT
LIFE, WHICH EVERYONE IS GOING TO
EXPERIENCE, THAT'S ALL I'M DOING
IS EXPERIENCING LIFE. AND THE
LORD HAS LET ME SEE SO MANY
GREAT THINGS. THROUGH THIS."
"TWO PEAT TWO PEAT TWO PEAT TWO
PEAT"
