It will be interesting how this plays out.  I remember one young coach that Jasper had tender his resignation ended up staying for several more years.  As I remember, the Board refused to accept his resignation, and the hs principal ended up leaving instead.  Beware those good young coaches!  I never got to meet Coach Morgan, or even watch a Jasper game last Fall so I have no knowledge except what I have read here.  I am saddened by all this for sure. This I feel that I do know.  All school districts in the state are under tremendous financial pressure thanks to the legislature balancing the state budget on the backs of the kids.  Even so called "wealthy" districts have been having to make drastic cuts.  And Jasper certainly does not qualify as being "wealthy".  So I would suspect that any drastic budget moves made by the administration were pretty much forced upon them by under funding by the state.  I could be wrong about this; but unless someone somehow shows us that indeed Jasper is a "wealthy" district rolling in money I think the administration should be given the benefit of the doubt if in fact it was about asking coaches to actually teach classes.  I liked having coaches teach classes when I was in school.  Most of them were pretty good teachers as I remember.  Best wishes to any and all coaches that are leaving.  If they are as good as they were touted they should have no trouble finding other jobs.

Thank you for the score.  Congrats Dogs!

Fairfield put a good ole country whipping on the dogs!  Jasper matched buckets with them for while, then FF started hitting threes, Jasper went cold on their shooting, and it was all over.  The best team won.  Congrats FF.

Fairfield won 51-41 over Gatesville.  Jasper was to play the winner.  Any reports on time and place?

Has Jasper scheduled a warm up game for this week? Or next as the case may be.

[quote name="no-look" post="1176378" timestamp="1329006478"] Hudson beat Central both games. [/quote] in that case, the "history" on this site should be corrected.  that is what I was going by.

Are these scores correct for Hudson?  If so, it appears that they have lost 4 district games? Jan. 3 - at Jasper, 48-55* Jan. 17 - at Huntington, 54-66* Jan. 27 - Jasper, 43-64* Feb. 7 - Pollok Central, 60-75*

This clinched a third place at the minimum for Hudson?  Huntington will be second if they win next Tuesday or Hudson loses? It appears that Hudson has lost 4 district games and Huntington has lost 3.

Congratulations Jasper Dogs!  :)  18-3a District Champs!

Congratulations Dogs!  One more win clinches the District championship!  :) Apparently the new Jasper coach came to play basketball.  I have not seen them play this year, but he promised an up tempo game emphasizing defense.  For sure, something has been developing in Jasper.  :)

The Dogs need to win this game!  :)

Wow is all that I can say.  There is a new coach at Jasper?  My gosh, what has happened.  Handling not only Huntington at Huntington, but Hudson at Hudson also?!  Maybe the Dogs ARE on a mission.

Right here.  Just hoping we can squeeze into the playoffs.

wtg dogs!  :)

[quote name="no-look" post="1157760" timestamp="1326256030"] Huntington was up 17 with five minutes to play. Jasper started hitting threes and got on a roll.... A different style of calling over there. [/quote] threes?  Hmmm... ??  starting something new here for Jasper?

Congratulations Dogs!  :)

Incredible.  Don't know what Hudson has this year, but they are traditionally very strong. 

Congratulations Wimberly.  I knew the best team would win!  8)

Sam won 31-28 after letting Montana back into the game. Tim Flanders had over 200 yards rushing.

Congratulations Texans!  I knew the best team would win.  8)

Go Texans!  :)
