Good job Jasper, keep it going!!!

Look, i realize this is a football post. Football is king in Texas and always will be. I was just trying to give a few reasons why a kid may decide not to play football. Unless my kid gets another concussion, he will play football until he graduates. If he chooses to do so.

I'm fairly certain that the type of offense has something to do with people wanting to play QB. The previously mentioned athletes played for quite different coaches. Potential for injury probably has something to do with it as well. Concussion possibilities are changing this game, parents of younger children are already making the decision to not let their kids play. Scholarship opportunities are a lot greater in baseball at BC as well, which leads back to the injury point. If a student has a scholarship to play baseball, why would he jeopardize that? College ain't cheap, my oldest doesn't graduate for 5 more years and i cant imagine how expensive it will be by then.

Yes, please do share.

Are you guys seriously talking about Dan Hooks becoming the HC at Bridge City? 80 year old Coach Hooks?

Sorry to see Coach Dubois go, but wish him well

Aren't those the kids that were on the Beaumont youth team that were beating everyone by 50+ points a few years ago in the STJFL?

I can't agree more with the comments about the parents involvement. I remember back in the beginning of the season it was pouring down raining and one of the news outlets on Facebook had a pic of the WOS players running stands. There were so many comments about how the coaches were stupid and and endangering the kids.I bet not one of those comments were from a parent of the Mustang players... I've witnessed first hand coaching little league football. Watching a game before ours at Wos, parents were angry at their own kids for not doing what was expected and they are held accountable for it. It is the polar opposite in BC, in my experience. Coaches are idiots, run the boys too much, don't have little johnny in the right position etc etc. That also trickles down to kids. You would be amazed to hear 11, and 12 year olds talk about how coaches are stupid and don't know what they are doing. Now where do they hear that from?

Hook em

Wow, great video!! I just shared to Horns Digest. He would sure look good in burnt orange.

Is the video on Texanlive yet? just wondering if its my computer or not.

I believe OF beat two of those teams from above. and WOS B has some VERY good players #12 is a dang good ball player

Yeah, that's what Coach T said on KOGT after the game. Didn't want to take the chance of something going bad, and kids getting suspended from the next game. It was the right call. They said couple kids from each team shook hands and hugged after the game. Sounded like it may have been a positive ending to a terrible couple days.

Yep, good call. It just caught me off guard because i don't remember seeing this before. Sounds like good things happening on the field now according to KOGT. Wish i were there to see it.

KOGT said teams aren't going to shake hands after the game. That is crazy to me. SMH

Bridge City Senior -27 WOS Senior White -0

The standings have been updated, and some big changes have been made. What happened with Jasper Junior? They beat BC-Red but now it shows BC-Red winning the game 1-0. And this morning it had OF, LCM, and WOS-B with all one loss. Now it has WOS-B 3-0 and LCM 1-2.

Bc Red 31 Vidor White 0

Anybody know whats going on with the STJFL website? The site doesn't have schedules posted, or any scores from the first two weeks. All of last years information is still listed.

Completely and totally agree! I'm sure it is hard to avoid due to scheduling so many teams/games, but it is hard to get my kid going that early for anything

I'll say this about participation in youth being low, then skyrocketing in junior high. That probably has a lot to do with cost. Shoulder pads, helmet, cleats, plus registration fee... It gets pricey quick. I know in BC we'd love more kids to sign up, but that is just how it goes.
