          The Newton High School girls' soccer team got a piece of its own medicine Tuesday on senior night against winless, but scrappy Arkansas City in non-league play at Fischer Field. Newton has normally been the team in a defensive shell, trying to disrupt the opponent's offense. This time, Arkansas City stayed in a defensive position, keeping the Railers from making the runs. The Railer offense did manage to get loose in the second half to claim a 4-0 win. Newton outshot the Bulldogs 25-0.
