Somebody get this man a helmet! He is ready to go!

The reason why KIPP ended up on WO-S' schedule has been well chronicled here. However, given that you are not the brightest bulb in the box, I'll rehash. KIPP was the only option keeping WO-S from a 9 game schedule. WO-S requested games with teams throughout the area and, with the exception of Nederland, LC-M, Bridge City and Silsbee, other teams declined causing WO-S to seek games with teams from North Texas and even the Panhandle. Some teams cited lack of availability, which is reasonable given that WO-S was, like Jasper, in a 5 team district and most others in the area have less predistrict games to fill. Others that WO-S asked cited that they didn't want to face the possibility of a loss to a 4A, DII. Still further, other football coaches declined an invitation to play because,quite simply, WO-S "hit too hard (a direct quote from MULTIPLE schools that declined)." In fact, WO-S was almost resigned to the fact that they would have 9 games on the schedule, when KIPP called (that is right KIPP called WO-S) to schedule last week's game. So long story short, KIPP played WO-S last week because NOBODY else would. Now, as to how Jasper can have an open date without the spector of Livingston, I'll try to speak slowly so that even you an understand. You seeeeee........when a diiiistrict has odddddd number teeeeeams.....each one of those teeeeeeeeams will have an oooooopen date during district play. You see foooour teeeeams can't play theeeee teeeeams during one weeeeek. Several teeeeeeeeams in the area, not effected by Livingston's move from 10-4A-I to 22-5A (Jaaaaaapser beeeeeing ooooooone of those teeeeeeeams), faaaall into thiiis caaaaaaateeeeegooooory! They include: Beaumont West Brook, Barbers Hill, Crosby, Dayton, Humble, Kingwood Park, New Caney, Porter, Splendora, Diboll, Huntington, Jasper (yessssssss, Jasper), Shepherd, Tarkington, Hamshire-Fannett, Hardin-Jefferson, Liberty, Orangefield, West Orange-Stark, Buna, Coldspring-Oakhurst, Kirbyville, Kountze, Warren, Woodville, Chester, High Island, Orange Community Christian. You will note the six schools (that is right, I knew you would catch on, SIX is an eeeeeeeeven number) that do not have open dates during district play are Bridge City, Cleveland, Huffman Hargrave, Little Cypress-Mauriceville, Navasota and Silsbee. Do you know what they have in common, do you? They are all members of 10-4A-I, the district that Livingston was first placed in and then yanked out of by the UIL. Look I know this is a lot of get your tiny mind around in a short period of time, but let's give it a try, okay?

I was a senior in high school the last time Caprock won this matchup!

The explanation that was given to you was, at best, faulty. While Livingston was slated to drop to 4A based upon the numbers they turned in, they were going to be in 4A, DI. As the UIL made the unprecedented move of releasing the ceilings and floors for not only class, but division, it was evident that Jasper would be in Division II and thus would not be in the same football district as Livingston (although they would in all other sports). Thus the explanation that the current state of the Jasper schedule is due Livingston's "error" in numbers is not a valid one. The situation is that Jasper, like WO-S, had to find 6 non-district games to fill up a 10 game schedule due to being placed in a 5 team district. A WO-S game would have presented a least a partial solution to that problem. Instead, Barbay chose not to select that solution which left Jasper to play a team which is the Louisiana equivalent to Burkeville and a second Louisiana team that is not even that highly recognized!

You're not the only one to have used maxpreps to try and get info on a team outside of the area (RAISING HAND).

No, that will another freebie for y'all.

I'd only correct one thing. They are not a 4A school, they are in Louisiana District 3-1A: [Hidden Content]

Seriously, if the Raiders performance was such that you were able to focus that much on what the Livingston PA announcer....employed by the Livingston ISD...doing the PA for game at Lion Stadium, home of the Livingston Lions in Livingston, Texas, the city in which Livingston High School is located...to be able to point out every time they said something positive about the hometown team, then I have a little clearer understanding as to why I had to edit this game thread as I did on Friday.

Diboll has picked up Cleveland as an opponent. Tomorrow at 7:30 pm in Cleveland

That is not due to obsession over high school sports. That is simply someone who doesn't have the good sense to conduct themselves in public and probably conduct themselves in that way in other facets of their life.
