    I HATE that. I don't even let my kids chit chat during the game. They usually run off with their friends, but if they're any where around me, I let them know I'm there to watch the game. I have season tickets, but I just use them to get in and then I go sit by the band.

    I can't stand the people who let their kids run off unattended and then end up next to me where they won't sit down, shut up or watch the game. My philosophy = If you bring them, you watch them.

    Jasper Police say a fracas, which broke out among a few juveniles following a recent Jasper/Silsbee basketball game, was quickly quelled by officers. According to a report filed by Officer Toderick Griffin, it began on the parking lot outside of the Jasper High School gymnasium following the Friday night game between the two schools, which have a storied rivalry that goes back 94 years.

    Police say the situation on Friday was a continuation of a problem that started with and spilled over from the 2015 football season, in which Silsbee handily defeated Jasper in their 76th meeting since 1922.

    The report said witnesses told officers that both the Jasper and Silsbee boys were taunting each other as the Silsbee players were walking toward their bus to leave following the game. The witness said one of the Jasper boys threw the first punch, and then the entire group began fighting.

    The incident resulted in only one injury; a Silsbee player reportedly broke his hand.

    Police say the case remains under investigation, and it’s possible that charges will be filed once all of the facts are gathered.

    The Jasper/Silsbee rivalry was once halted for ten years following an unimaginable incident in the late 1930’s. It was an entire stadium clearing knock-down-drag-out-melee that broke out in Jasper in 1938, and resulted in the most infamous incident between the two schools when drastic measures were taken to save the lives of the referees.

    The majority of the people "quelling" the "fracas" were coaches, parents, and fans. These people, along with the Silsbee officer and the Kirbyville officer, had things calmed down before the Jasper police showed up.

    The lighting in that picnic table area was also very bad. I could barely see when I was walking out. I had just gotten to my car with my daughter, my 80 year old mother and my 5 month old grandson when the fight broke out.  We had two coaches, our principal and our officer walking our boys out of the gym.  Our other coach had gone to get the bus. Thankfully, we also had some fans (like ST413) who were able to help as well.  We all did our best to get our kids out of harms way and into the buses as quickly as possible.  When we thought it had died down, a large group of people rushed the buses and the whole thing started up again.  It was very scary.  The two Jasper administrators that were at the game did their best to control their students.
