"Once an Eagle" tells the story of Newton football history

Bobby Bean wrote a book released last month that explains why the Newton football tradition is rich in tradition and continues to have the burning desire to win after 103 seasons.

There are dozens of Newton football stories in the book "Once An Eagle" which can be purchased by contacting Sam Collins or anyone down at the Newton Chamber of Commerce.

This story focuses on the fact that Newton almost lost it's football program in 1942 after it's head coach was drafted by the Army to fight in World War II.
