I just found my answer. In the past 35 years, I only found FIVE two-game winning streaks. They never even won three in a row. Wow...

I would argue that those 80's WOS teams were better just because those dudes were grown men that had less to do, so they could spend more time on football and in the weight room. Kids in general aren't in that kind of shape, so it created less competition for this version of the Mustangs, who were clearly in better condition and worked harder than kids at other schools. I'm not throwing shade at you guys at all. It's just that football was a lot more physical across the board back then. What do you guys think?

Jasper will have to play its best game in a very long time. Outside of WOS, I have more respect for Gilmer as an opponent than anybody we ever play. We can do it, but we need to be creative and get a few breaks that we're known not to get in years past. 

Jasper won 35-21 and will play Gilmer next week. No word on when and where...

Jasper was down 17-10 with 10 minutes left and rallied to win 24-17 with a last-minute score. 

Jasper puts together a gutsy 4th quarter - scores touchdowns on 2 straight possessions. The last possession was 6 minutes scoring with 22 seconds left. Congrats Bulldogs!

Final: Jasper 41, Tatum 17. Nice win for the Dawgs that puts them in the driver's seat for the district title.

This game was tough to watch.  I have no idea how many yards in penalties we had, but I know of at least six 15 yard penalties.  Five chop blocks (4 were Jasper's), 2 or 3 horse collars, and mix in a couple other personal fouls--that was just Jasper's, Silsbee had a few also.  There were numerous holdings, off-sides, illegal man down field, false start, etc.  
Both teams have a lot of work left to get their offenses clicking...who knows what the score would have been without 30 something penalties.  Have to clean that up big time.  Please teach your offensive linemen what a chop block is..that was ridiculous.  
Jasper has way too many weapons to be shutout for the last 3 quarters.  
Jasper running the double wing and single wing??  Guess we are trying to be Newton now.
Jasper defense needs lots of work.  LBs and safeties have got to step up against the run or this will be a one and done kind of year.  
Lots of work to do.  Jasper does get much better as the season progresses and they sure need to our it will be an early exit from the playoffs.
Might I suggest that we run a few plays where we try and get our speed isolated on the outside of the tackle?
A toss sweep? The fake dive and pitch out?  Something..anything to give your speed a chance to do its things. That kid was untouchable in the open field.
Congrats to Silsbee.  That had to feel good to be down 19-0 after 1 quarter and battle back for the win.  Those kids deserved that big win.  Hope it propels you guys to a fine season.  
 
 

This one hurts. We shot ourselves in the foot maybe a thousand times, but Silsbee got it done. Gotta give them credit for that. Have a good season and for the love of God, score on WOS. lol

They've only run a couple of plays. It's too early to write them off...

I'm dying laughing over here.

Jasper scores on a 71-yard run. 19-0 Jasper. :37 left in 1st. 

12-0 Jasper with 4:31 left in the first.

I hadn't been on here in a couple of weeks. I'm shocked to see this thread is at 4 pages - good to see the rivalry is still alive. I think Jasper's defense is better overall than last year. So, I'm interested to see how they match up with Silsbee's offense. I'm thinking this won't be a high scoring game. If it's not, I give the edge to my Bulldogs. However, if it is, I think Silsbee wins. Either way, I'm expecting a close game. And yes Buddy Garrity, you should be giving us a hard time about those Louisiana schools.

Right on...

Lumberton would be one. lol
