Both were all state players. 86-87.were jasper best 2 teams ever. The only team that could have stopped them those 2 years.was w.o. they were that gud!!
Several years were pretty good for Jasper. But I feel 1980 was near to being as good as the 86-87 teams. Witness their little LB (5-9) playing 5 years in the NFL. Public announcers would go tounge tied saying "And Eugene Seale on the tackle." Tied Huntsville in Pre-district, and tied Hebert in district. Huntsville beat Hebert in playoffs, and went on to win state. I think Jasper clearly showed the Jasper undefeated 1980 team belonged on the same field as the eventual state champion.

Some probably wouldn't know who Rafael Adam's was .but I promise he was the real deal !! Probably one of the best to come out of jasper. Doing w.o championships years I guarantee you everyone knew who he was. And he was a parade all-American.
I think Rafael Adams went on to play college ball at LSU?

I chose those guys purely based on how good they were as Bulldogs. They were part of arguably the best stretch ever for us in the early-mid 80's when we could consistently play with just about everybody. We've been blessed to have quite a few talented guys come through, haven't we?
I hope you're well, my friend.
I know I'm getting off topic, but many of those players didn't get that much recognition in high school because they arguably were not playing their natural positions. Take James Hadnot. Didn't even make All-State at Jasper as LB & TE. Went to Texas Tech, moved to running back, broke many Early Campbell rushing records, and made All America. Twice I think. David Scott, from that same team. Out of natural position as a RB, went to Kilgore Jr College, they moved him to WR, another All American. By the way, I expect David is still in the State record books for the longest punt return in State history. 108 yards I think it was. I was privileged to see that, against Silsbee, 1976 I think it was. That record may well never be broken. Yes, I am well. And you?

I'll chime in with a couple of Jasper guys because I don't mind being a homer and they deserve to be in the conversation:
LB Eugene Seale
CB Raefel Adams
I would certainly agree on Eugene Seale; replacement player for the Houston Oilers, and stayed five years as a LB in the NFL. Ditto for several Jasper players that didn't perhaps get that much recognition in high school; but stayed several years in the NFL. Zack Bronson, James Hadnot, Red Bryant, John Davis, Weatherspoon, and I know I am forgetting at least that many more. West Orange probably has even more. Most famous to me being Earl Thomas, and Kevin Smith.

We are here from Needville watching. Jasper puts on a really good tournament.
Thank you for the compliment! Jasper does have a very deep history in baseball, starting way back in the fifties and sixties.

Where is this Stadium at in The Woodlands
Pretty easy to find. East of I45, you can see the lights from the Freeway. Additionally, there is a sign on the exit.

Hmmm
Clearly, Bellville is better than they were last year. And Jasper clearly was not as good as they were last year. Just listened to the game, but time after time Jasper shot itself in the foot. Fumbles, interceptions, and penalties after penalty. Apparently from comments in prior weeks this has been a common occurrence. I thought surely Jasper would get their act together for the playoffs. Didn't happen. Congrats to Bellville for coming ready to play!

Don't think this will be a trap game for Jasper. Jasper got its wake-up call last year.

Even better/worse. Jasper has got to be (I would think) the only team to go undefeated in predistrict and district season games and not make the playoffs.
In 1980 that is exactly what happened when we tied Beaumont Hebert 10-10 (the old "penetration" days). Hebert went to playoffs and the DAWGS stayed home.
And that is not all the story. Jasper also tied Huntsville. Huntsville beat Hebert, and went on to win the state championship. Never long for the good ole days when only one team made it out of district. In Jasper's only trip to the state finals, they were the third place team out of their district.

When you start taking a game for granted, that's when you go down. I do feel sorry for Huntington fans. Good folks there; and they deserve better.

2 games against quality teams getting cancelled this year. Coach T scheduled these type games to help prepare for the playoffs. Hope not playing them will not affect WO-S come playoff time.
Ditto for Jasper.

Wow, what a disappointment! Well, hopefully we'll see you in the playoffs.

If WO-S can stop that wild man running back from smoking down 5 or 6 runs for 50+ I'll give them a chance.
Been saving him for this game!

Wow. Can we talk about the current state LaMarque's program is in??? I remember when they were a force to be reckoned with. Shutting down their school district and folding into Texas City ISD has literally murdered their athletic department
I had forgotten about the consolidation. And never had thought about the effect on the athletic program. That explains a lot. Sounds somewhat like many "big city" schools that have to share resources.

Congrats Diboll. Boy, did you ever come to play football !!!

Probably a better game for Jasper. I was stunned at how Livingston crashed last year.

Congrats Dogs!

History lesson
1958 41-0 Silsbee
1963 43-0 Silsbee
1967 59-0 Silsbee
2006 35-0 Silsbee at halftime, game called due to weather (lucky for Jasper)
How about the 1959 score? Well if you are going that far back, may as well get them all....

Mediocre for Jasper at the time. 4 and 5. But to put it into perspective, as I remember, Jasper played a tough schedule in 1985 and most of the losses were by pretty narrow margins. So to rebound was not that big of a step I presume. I think that was Walkoviak's only "losing" season in his 20 years there. Before he came, and often after he left 4 and 5 looked pretty good. He made having a 5a level program at a small 4a program look so easy that some Jasper people didn't realize just what they had with him. 5a program. That was Hebert's Coach Alex Durley's description as I remember. And that was when 5a was the top level in Texas.
