I am the grandmother of a Jasper player and have always kept a book.  Last year I wrote the recaps for KJAS Radio.  I would be willing to help you out if you would like.

JUST A LITTLE TRIVIA--the last time Jasper earned the right to advance to the State Finals was in 1985.  The team they defeated to advance was---you guessed it---Bridge City.  Jasper defeated Bridge City in the best of three. 

Someone  near to my heart played 1st base on that team.  Now, another person near to my heart is the utility player for the Dawgs.  My son and my grandson.  This time, however, they have a mission to complete  --a State Championship.  I was fortunate to be able to help coach them both before high school--how exciting can that be!!

It was a tough series back then and it will be again.  I wish that both teams could advance--because imo East Texas will get to watch the State Championship game this next week in Beaumont.

Remember, you play because you love the game. 

P.S.  I am the grandmother.

Shellhammer fielded the ball in deep right and relayed the ball to utility Bradley at 2nd who threw a strike to third for the out.  Jasper played great defense in both games.
