Finally got to watch the Dawgs last night. They looked really good. The game was only 7 innings(no extra's Rykerx). Tyler Ernest hit a big homerun early in the game.

Bluedove, that's a little out of line. Jasper plays by the same UIL rules as every other team in the state. Don't bash our kids because of the hard work that has turned into some early success this year.

Someone on smoaky said that game one will be in Lufkin Hudson on Thursday night. Can anyone confirm this? If this is true, I can't believe BC agreed to this because there is not much room for fans there. I know what kind of crowd BC brings, so you better get there early if you want a seat.

Instant Classic!!

What a game!! Let's go Indians.

That's what's wrong with the game. People trash talk instead of playing the game the way it was meant to be played. Congrats to BC on the win.

Mr. Ump1, not trying to open a can of worms because I agree with everything you have said, but I have seen a few cases where umpires clearly have had a direct impact on the result of the game because of their lack of knowledge of the rules or are to bullheaded to ask for help on questionable calls. We, as fans, just want you to get the call right(whether it is for us or against us). My question is this, what type of evaluation system is used on umpires to determine whether they are qualified to call a high school game. I'm not trying to bash, I'm just curius.

Things are looking a little better but continue to keep Lauren in your prayers. update from KJAS.com The family of a fourteen year old Jasper girl who was injured in an ATV accident over the weekend says the girl is improving as she continues to undergo treatment in a Houston hospital. Lauren Hood, who is the daughter or Patrick and Rebel Hood, was injured on Saturday near Roganville when the 4-wheeler she was riding overturned. Hood was originally taken to Christus Jasper Memorial Hospital where she was treated for head injuries and later taken by air to Texas Children’s Hospital. Her family said on Tuesday that Lauren has been responsive and opened her eyes for the first time on Monday night. Although no visitors are allowed, the Hood family said that e-cards can be sent via texaschildrenshospital.com, go to the "for parents" tab and then click on "patient greetings". The Hood family also wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and phone calls.

We have an 8th grade girl who was involved in a 4 wheeler accident this past weekend. She has a fractured skull and the doctors are concerned about the continued swelling of her brain. She is on a breathing machine and can only open her eyes for a few moments. Please keep her in your prayers.

HF will be the second place team in this district and could possibly beat BC. I've said this for a while, they are a really dangerous team.

HJ will definitely be down a little this year. They graduated a great senior class each of the last two years. But, they also have one of the best, if not the best coach in the district. I expect them to struggle early but compete well at the end of the season.

Nov. 12, 2008 Weekly Migratory Bird Hunting Report Weekly migratory bird hunting reports are posted from early September through early February. High Plains Mallard Management Unit: Outfitters say playa lakes look good and are holding lots of ducks and geese. Most of the birds are scattered throughout the region with the abundance of water. Colder weather should congregate the flocks. Pintails, teal, gadwalls, wigeons and a few mallards have been taken. The brunt of the population has not arrived, yet. Hunting has been fair at best recently with the milder than normal temperatures. Calm days coupled with blue skies have not helped decoying action. Sandhill crane hunting was fair during opening weekend. Those with a little wind saw better results. Goose numbers are building daily with the bright moon and a forecasted cold front that is expected to move through the region. Prospects are good. North Zone: Duck hunting was fair at best on Northeast Texas lakes and reservoirs. Ponds near Dallas and north of the city saw mixed bags of gadwalls, teal and mallards. Mild temperatures have been the culprit in so few birds seen. Lake Wright-Patman was good for half-limits at best. Toledo Bend, Caddo Lake and Lake O'the Pines held divers and gadwalls. Water levels on lakes and reservoirs remain adequate for hunting. The southern portion of the north zone was fair at best as well. Fields near Brookshire, China, Devers, Nome, Sealy and Winnie held scattered flocks of specklebellies to go with a smattering of ducks. Conditions remain dry on rice and prairie ponds north of IH-10. Expect new birds to show with the full moon, despite no significant cold front forecasted. Prospects are fair. South Zone: Duck hunting has been fair at best throughout the region, though prairie ponds holding adequate water has seen steady hunting. Best hunts have been in Wharton County, where blue-winged teal, gadwalls, pintails, wigeons and shovelers have filled straps. Fields near Garwood have been steady as well, with most ducks hunters taking the odd specklebelly, too. The Justin Hurst WMA near Freeport, Mad Island WMA near Bay City and Guadalupe Delta WMA near Port Lavaca has seen poor to fair hunting. Most of the freshwater compartments and moist soil units are dry. Duck hunting near Port O’Connor has been fair to good for those willing to put in the time to scout. The brunt of the diver population has not arrived, and the same goes for pintails, gadwalls and wigeons. Rockport has seen fair hunting at best. Large rafts of ducks have not arrived, yet. Goose hunting has been fair to good, with most hunters taking their limit of specklebellies. Snow geese have cooperated when the wind blows. A good hatch of young birds has aided in decoying action. Expect new geese to arrive with the forthcoming full moon. The region received needed rainfall early this week, as much as five inches in some parts, which should recharge parched ponds. Prospects are fair to good.

It's about time they think about implementing the antler restriction rule in our neck of the woods.

Prayers sent from Jasper. I only knew Joel from watching him on the baseball field. What a competitor. I never heard anyone have anything negative to say about him. He must have been a great person. I hope that God will be with all of the families involved and give them peace during this terrible time.
