I HAVEN’T POSTED BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO JINK IT! HOW ABOUT MY BUCS! THIS IS FOR EVERY PAST TEAM AND EC NATION! 

Congrats Bulldogs on an epic game and great season 

Likewise impressed with the Bulldog D.  Other than some big plays, a whole lot of hitting and run stopping tonight.  If you love old school football, tonight was a classic.  

WOS did a good job clogging the runs between the tackles too. The Mustangs coaching staff has done a whale of a job with their kids. I got the impression early in the season that the normal fire was missing from that group and they had it in spades tonight. That's not meant to take anything away from the Jasper staff and players. We were right there and just couldn't get it done...

A Cornel Thompson team is playing in December like they have every single year he’s been the coach there.  Almost makes me care enough to go pull early season threads where people were b$:).)ing about his coaching. 

It was everything I hoped it would be other than not getting the win. Congrats, WOS. Go win the whole damn thing!
 

The demise of WOS was a greatly exaggerated 

Beautiful throw

"They are currently ranked higher (61) in football in the state of Texas than 6A football teams, Cy-Fair (70), Plano East (76), Temple (90), 5A schools like Cedar Park (105), Manvel (122), and a ton of 4A schools."
Well...there you have it, folks. I guess it's true.  By the way..don't tell the people that actually believe this that Santa is fake.  It'll be heartbreaking.  

I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers as our family deals with the pain of losing our youngest son Tyler on August 21st.  A lot of people don't realize that my oldest son started his ministry school on Monday Aug 20 only to have our youngest son killed in a car accident with an 18 wheeler the very next day.  The scripture says the enemy comes to steal KILL and destroy. And that's no joke people.  I give God the Glory during my toughest times because I do believe I will see him again. Im sorry im just getting around to thanking people but its a difficult process.  Thanks again.     Ken Hryhorchuk

I've been pretty quiet this week so far, but I will say this: Over thirty years of history means absolutely nothing this week. This Jasper team doesn't have that "here we go again" mindset that has hurt us in the past. I truly believe that this is one of the best, if not the best, team Jasper's ever had. We've played like a championship team from the start like WOS often does.
JasperDAWG and I have seen a lot of the same football over the years and I also have a ton of respect for the Mustangs. Both of these teams right at this moment are very good and it's gonna be a classic. I think the winner of this game just might win it all. Let's play a good, clean game and see who is left standing when it's all over. I can't wait!

I saw some adjustments CT made during the Sweeny game because they were busting through straight up the middle just like Jasper did.  The difference was that Sweeny did not have the speed at the RB position to take it to the house.  Funny thing is as soon as Sweeny took the lead 3-0 I told my son watch what happens because WO-S is about to bow up and take over this game.  Have seen it to many times on too many playing surfaces and levels.  It is hard to beat a champion.  Many years Jasper has came into these games intimidated, I don't think they will be this year.  As someone pointed out up above, they better not come into the game expecting a repeat of the last one.  Whoever wins this game will have to earn it because both will want it.   I just hope I don't see another game with 20 penalties like Jasper's last game.  It was brutal.

I was exhausted today at work and would have liked to have “facemasked” a few folks.  I didn’t know that being tired was an acceptable reason.  They had better hope I am well rested tomorrow!!

Jasper injuries update link:

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Horse collar tackles are illegal I thought?  Anyway please keep Hubbard in your thoughts.  It is a shame for his season to end this way. Here's hoping that the game Friday will be cleanly played and no one gets injured on either side. 

I hope we spank her.....hard!

I think wos & jasper game could go either way wos is better but so is jasper. I was at wos game this week very close game going to 4 th quarter. Wos was losing 3 to 0 . Wos kept shooting there self in foot with turn overs . If there offense plays like that i believe jasper will win . Jasper has some injuries but no excuse next man up . May the best team wins & represent our area

Hello Nederland Bulldogs we are looking forward to a great football game between the Mavericks and Bulldogs. It is always great to play a team we have never seen before, I hope your team is as healthy as can be expected this time of year. Marshall always wants the best you can field! Win or lose we both should be proud because right now many teams are finished for the season. The Mavs have a great fan base but I’m afraid this game being at 4pm on a Friday and 4 hours away will not allow so many to attend. I assure that Coach Mathis will have the team fired up for a great game. Good luck to the Bulldogs and we pray that everyone coming from you town has a safe journey to and from NRG Stadium!
GO MAVERICKS!

Looking forward to the PN-G and Nederland games at NRG.  Against Marshall, Nederland will do what they have been doing for the past 25 years:
1. Worry about the things the Dogs control; block out all of the other noise.
2. Play solid defense.  Keep everything in front of you; don’t give up a big play or cheap TD.
3. On offense, establish the line of scrimmage and run north/south.
4. When opportunities are there, throw the ball downfield and make a big play.
5. Limit mistakes/penalties.
When Nederland plays its style, they are in every game until the end and they usually have a shot to win.  Over the past two decades, Nederland has won a lot of games when everyone said, “You’ve got no shot.”  See the LaMarque game at NRG when the Dogs played outstanding defense and Micah Mosely ran wild.  See Nederland beating Pearland Dawson in OT six or seven years ago.  And, I’ve seen too many Ned wins vs. PN-G when I thought the Indians had the better talent.
Looking forward to Nederland playing well and using its style of football to have a shot at the end.  Don’t listen to the outside noise.  Worry about what you control and play good defense.  That worked for Larry Neumann and Delbert Spell for a long time.
See you at NRG.
Go Indians.  Peace.

I went to High School in Sweeny and this team is one of the biggest and most athletic teams they have had in a while. WOS will be their toughest opponents yet. Sweeny should have played a tougher non district schedule. The loss to wharton I think they had around 4 fumbles in a mud bowl. The Bulldogs offense is average to me but their defense is really good. Honestly speed wise I think it will be equal. And thats crazy I say that because WOS always one of the faster teams in the state any classification. I think WOS by 2 TDs but Im rooting for the dogs. But it wont be no blowout like I see on this post ppl are saying. No homer pick or being bias. 

Just a few observations coming into this game:
1. I was impressed by the speed of WOS overall and really the speed of our skill players last Thursday. It was nice to finally get a dry, turf field.
2. Speed aside, all WOS fans need to remember that Huntington was not very good and we can't put much stock into that blow out.
3. Sweeny has played a weak schedule. Only 4 teams with a winning record and 3 of those barely winning. I feel certain had WOS played the same schedule we would be 11-0 and probably leading the state defensively. You can only play the teams on your schedule, but you cannot ignore how the lack of quality teams plays into their record and stats. I think the tight game against a 6-4 LaGrange proves that fact.
4. During the season, the Bulldogs have only played 1 team with similar team speed to WOS and that was Wharton, who they lost to.
5. WOS will need to tackle, play good run defense and our Cornerbacks are going to have to start competing on these jump balls everyone we play is throwing at them. If we get a PI or two, so what... They are going to get us for a couple no matter what we do. Maybe if they know we'll compete they'll stop trying. We do that and we should be good.

To all the CHUMPEES!!!!!
 
I know its different still being on the board after the regular season. But hey its 4A football. So look, I'm not saying I'm pulling for Chumperton, because that will never happen. But I will do this.
 
If I go through Chumperton this week, I will not litter in the city limits....
 
That's the best I can do.

Either team would make me nervous. If Sweeny's defense is as good as they've shown, that will be a tough game for us. Any game against WOS makes me feel the same way. It's all about matchups on a given night. Any of these games can go sideways really quickly with penalties and turnovers. Best of luck to both teams this week. I hope Jasper can play well and get a shot at either of these teams...

I don't think times have completely changed 

U know gunho listening to game Friday continue to show me what I stated on another post.why I said since 2011 when he took over that this has been CT best coaching year.doesnt have a stud at QB.or stud LBS,or DLine with an average DBs.but watching the struggle of his team from the beginning til now.even the details of offense.i even was smdh late in the year with the jasper and silsbee games.but if anyone truly has been paying attention to the actually players that has been playing.he has truly reached a point where if water boy would help them win.he would put him in.so as a football fan of the game.ppl really need to see that he would play anyone on either side of the ball to get a win.and that's what's making them dangerous this year.not saying they can't lose but whoever they play will be playing a desperate team. 

Even last year against Manvel down late we never gave up and kept fighting.
 
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog! These dogs don’t lay down they keep fighting
