to bottom of 3rd; Jasper 5-1

End of two innings, Jasper leading 3-1

Sad to hear this. Best wishes Clay.

Will the game be broadcast?

Trivia. Semis, 2004. It was 3 offensive plays, and one defensive TD. All long running TD's. Jasper had some speed all over the field back then. This was the Jasper team that lost to Gilmer in the 2004 State Finals 47-49.

Wow!

Wow. Didn't expect that.

Oh what the heck! Turn it around WOS!!!

I am sure there are more Hadnots in the pipeline. Just like Limbrick this year. And Bronsons. And Davises. Etc.

What can you say? Jasper got a good ole kountry whuppin!!! Congrats to China Springs for executing.

Yes!!!

By the way, is Jasper's first round opponent determined for sure. I saw conflicting claims.

Madisonville could be a problem game for Jasper. Except for pride this game means nothing to Jasper. But it could kind of salvage the Madisonville season if they were to upset Jasper. Dogs, beware!

I never did understand what pushed Morgan out.

IMO, Jasper lost to Carthage by that much because. 1. Turnovers. 2. Turnovers. 3. Turnovers. You cannot give the ball away that many times and expect to win. Or even keep the game close. But actually, the margin was even worse than the score indicated. As I remember, Jasper scored a late TD against the Carthage reserves. If Carthage had kept the starters in to the end, I shudder to think what the score might have been. Jasper played a much more disciplined game against Center. At least I think so. Center has the ingredients to go a long way in the playoffs. Not every team is going to have the resources to stop your RB that Jasper had. I wish Center the best of luck.

Clearly, I was wrong! Nothing left in the playbook.

Thus far in the year, it seemed to me that Jasper wore teams down in the second half. Ought to be a good second half!

My gut told me that Jasper had not been showing all their stuff. Time to unwrap the rest of it now!

Hey no-look, whatever happened to WhataShot?

That is a good move for Huntington. Best wishes for success in 3A!

I think without a doubt, they are saving everything for next week. And Carthage will know that.

Doubt that happens!!

I was there watching. I was also fortunate to get to visit with him for a couple minutes while the Oilers had their training camp in San Antonio. For the Oilers, he was listed at 5'9', and 250 pounds! He was a terror on the kickoff and punting teams. Glanville, the Oiler head coach then, said in the first ten yards, there was no one faster in all the NFL. Just imagine a little return back getting leveled by a 250 pound bowling ball. Must have hurt. But he probably was not recruited by the major colleges because he did not fit the "prototype". Not tall enough, etc. but they did not stop to measure his heart.

But on recruiting, I understand not a single Southwest Conference team made him an offer. Reportedly, the first SW conference team he got to play while at Lamar:. University of Houston. Result: 14 unassisted tackles. You think there was not some buyer's remorse?

Yeah, it is hilarious sometimes. No major college will give a Jasper player the time of day; he will play elsewhere; then play several years in the NFL. Go figure. Remember Eugene Seale? And many others.
