By Rodney Haltom sports EDITOR,

Eufaula head football coach Larry Newton and other high school football coaches was honored at the Oklahoma Coaches Association All State football game for achieving 90-plus victories.

Newton put together a fantastic staff and educated the student athletes of the strong traditions of being an Ironhead. Newton has produced a collegiate athlete in nearly each of his 12 years at Eufaula while accumulating an impressive 90 wins and 50 loses.

“I been blessed with great assistant coaches and athletes that want to work hard, dedicated to the program and want to be successful,” Eufaula head coach Larry Newton said.

Newton has had seven football players make the All-State team in Daxton Williams, Dylan Anderson, Khelil Deere, Ty Dodd, Luke Adcock, Draven Gragg and Dakota Adams (who had to report to basic training).
