This one could go down to the wire. Thoughts? 

I will take a sloppy win any day.

Jasper comes out on top 25-13. Sloppy, but the defense played well...

It's all good. Hopefully, we'll get another shot at the Lions in the playoffs. Who knows? Maybe we can get you guys on the schedule at some point...

I made my way to stand behind the goal post to watch the field goal and he nailed it.And yes that was one tuff night for both teams.

Praying for you, Lance. Hang in there!

Haha...I stand corrected. I do my best to stay informed and my posts usually reflect that, but I totally missed on this one.

I wish Hardin was this irrelevant

Why would you bring that up? We know what happened...

Jasper never had a chance in that game because a few of their players were hurt going in, with Tiger Williams being one of them. We wouldn't have won the game with everyone healthy anyway. Coach Barbay is right, but his point is obvious. They need to fix that defense for him to avoid losses like that one. I've been saying that for the last 10+ years.
WOS and Newton have the blueprints on how to do that, so we need to study up and become a defense-first football team. It worked great for 20 years with Walkoviak and we should have never strayed from it...

If Jasper and Tatum don't finish in the top 2 one way or another, I'll be shocked.

I like Barbay as a coach and I hate to criticize him, but wanting to take Silsbee off of the schedule and shrugging off WOS isn't indicative of sound decision making. We need those two on the schedule every year no matter what. It's good for the fans and the gate revenues for all three schools. 

That was the most physical high school game I've ever seen. There probably weren't 100 yards of offense combined that night.

Agreed. I love good football in cold weather. That's how it should be...

He did a nice job in Jasper. I wish him the best.

I hear ya. It's nice to stay with the same teams and build rivalries and although I was a little disappointed about moving into a different district, it will be nice to see some different teams we aren't used to seeing on a regular basis. If Tatum makes the playoffs, it will make it interesting to play against our old district mates in the first few rounds. 

McNeese has hired Zack Bronson, who played at Jasper, McNeese, and for the 49ers and Rams. He will coach the secondary and recruit Southeast Texas for the Pokes. Solid hire, in my opinion.

True.  The UIL should not allow Junior Colleges to play high school football !!!
