easier said than done.  for both teams.

Go Dogs!  I rather like the Strike Zone Fans!  :)  It is not just noise.  They are organized, and they actually can carry a tune!!

[quote name="hardcore" post="805708" timestamp="1274867572"] no disrepect to OF but you have no clue what Robinson is going to do to OF baseball team. The only team setex that can beat Robinson is Jasper. I guess OF can support Jasper when they play Robinson. ;) [/quote] I kind of disagree.  I think OF can take Robinson.  And Jasper will have its hands full with BC.  Jasper has sometimes run roughshod over some teams.  I do not remember Jasper ever running roughshod over BC.  It is going to be a tough series with BC, as usual.  Regardless which team wins, it is going to be good preparation for the next level for the winner.

[quote name="speedkills" post="804325" timestamp="1274495568"] 7-0 Jasper going into the bottom of the 6th Sowell has 12 strikeouts. [/quote] Averaging 2 strikeouts per inning!  Not too shabby for someone that pitched Wednesday night.

[quote name="T-daddy" post="803772" timestamp="1274386328"] hudson looked like a little league team last night with all the errors.. [/quote] then they looked like a college team sometimes with those arms.  Jasper has to stay focused on taking care of business.  Hudson is not just going to roll over and play dead.  You can count on that.

Jasper in 3 close games.  Hudson has improved since they hit the playoffs.

I believe that Jasper might be the team that will do it. ;D [/quote] Not yet.  A few other teams will demand a say in that.  Jasper's concern right now has to be Lufkin Hudson.

[quote name="bleed orange" post="802018" timestamp="1273964752"] Hicks retired the side in the top of the first. [/quote] Hicks may be educating some Taylor folks about now!

tied 4-4 top of fifth, 2 on base, Sam Alvis coming in in relief.

I agree, only players on the field win the games.  No one is guaranteed anything.  Read your press clippings too much and you may well find yourself sitting at home. But the question was asked, what is Jasper's history as if they might be a Johnny Come Lately to baseball.  I merely reported some of the history.  By the way, the son of one of the Jasper 1963 team is the current Jasper coach.  A son of another player on that team used to be the baseball coach at Woodville and won a state championship there just as did the current Jasper coach.  So, does tradition and history count?  I think it certainly can have an effect.

[/quote] .. [/quote] ...According to you ( Jasper) is a team that has been there and done that many times. Please enlighten me again. Jasper went to the state tournament when and when was they there before? Please give me a history lesson. ... [/quote] Jasper history lesson: To the state tournament 6 times:  1961, 63, 72, 78 as 3A; 1985 as 4A, 2007 as 3a Trips to state spaced out, true.  But also true, Jasper does have a solid long-term history in baseball.  Only a handful of 3a teams have been to state six or more times. China Spring, La Grange, Snyder, and Sinton come to mind as having six or more trips to state.  Did I miss any other SE Texas teams?

Congratulations Dogs! Jasper is playing Burnet in a warm up game on Tuesday at College Station A&M, 7:00 p.m.

Jasper 7, Center 1

The most memorable play I saw from Sean was in a bi-district game against Rusk.  There was a Utube video out on this play for a long time.  Sean was playing both ways.  From a receiver spot, he set up in the end zone.  Before the ball even got to him, a Rusk player tackled him.  On the way down he snared the ball with one hand.  Of course, the score counted but amazingly there was no flag on Rusk even though probably just about everyone in the stands recognized the early hit.

[quote name="3amagic" post="793315" timestamp="1271909286"] What district number is Carthage in? [/quote] 18-3a with Jasper, Hudson, Center, Diboll and others.

Jasper 13-1 going to bottom of fifth.

Jasper 11-1 going to top of fifth inning.

Jasper 11-0, going to bottom of 4th inning.

Jasper 4-0 going to bottom of third.

[quote name="bh89-2" post="790157" timestamp="1271265386"] Guess no BH in this one?  JDog, what's up with Jasper? [/quote] beats me.  maybe they are waiting for district.
