This or that? (Dick Newton)

Joey Barrett

August 15, 2023 by Joey Barrett

Dick Newton is athletic director of Lynn English High School and played baseball and football for the Bulldogs from 1975-78.

 

Offense of defense? “Offense. I played quarterback.” 

Score or assist? Score

Home or road win? Road, and enjoyed beating Swampscott because “they were the rival back in the day.”

Game-winner or late defensive stop? Late defensive stop

Afternoon or night game? Night 

On a coach, suit or sweatshirt? Sweatshirt 

Lifting or cardio? Cardio 

Burpees or suicides? “Oh, boy. Suicides. That’s old-school.”

After scoring, celebrate or no? “Absolutely no. Act like you’ve been there.”

Before a game, big meal or quick protein bar? “Protein bar. Big meals will slow you down.”

Humble or trash-talker? “Humble. That’s an easy one. Trash-talk will come back to hit you in the face.”
