I know a few local ISD's that have had the same AD for several years now and their football team is not the best sport in their school. Some would say they are less than mediocre.

The thread question is about their overall athletic program. Not just football. If? You talk as they will. Things are so much better.

Your first comment on this thread was saying how Jasper athletic program is so much better because the football team had a good season and despite the fact that the other 5 sports went 2-58 in district play. That's narrow minded.

So if Jasper fails to make it to Regional finals next year, then things are not better? Saying things are better because of one football season (when the discussion is about the overall athletic program) is pretty narrow minded. But, coming from you, I completely understand.

It's the only option they have if they want to implement it starting next school year. Otherwise, they would have to redo the basketball/baseball/softball districts. That would be very problematic since a lot of coaches have already started on next year's schedule. My sources tell me it will be like how 6A does football. Maybe next realignment will have the districts done by division.

Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.

I was just told about this yesterday. It will be after regular season ends then split for playoffs so this will not effect the realignment. My earlier comments were about having district realigned for divisions. That will have to come later. State basketball tournament will now be state championship games only. No semifinals. Friday and Saturday (6 games each day). Semifinals will be held at wherever the venues the two coaches agree upon. Also, no more regional tourneys. Personally, I don't like this change if it does happen.

I wasn't arguing the point of how an AD keeps his job. The question was "what has happened to Jasper" as in their whole athletic department. They were much much better in those other sports even when football was successful. Not anymore. Something definitely has changed.

In your opinion. Many others would disagree. The subject was the overall athletic program. Not just football.

About the same as they have always been the last several years. They are good. I wouldn't say they are better or worse though.

In these 5 sports (volleyball, boys/girls basketball, baseball and softball) Jasper went a combined 2-58 in district play. Winless in volleyball, boys/girls basketball. One win each in baseball and softball. I would say that things overall are not better than the last several years. Particularly in basketball and baseball.

In football, yes. In the other sports, no.

Not happening any time soon. Just being discussed. It's a questionnaire phase right now sent to Supts. and AD's.
