I agree. Jasper was not consistently winning before Walkoviak came and have not been consistently winning afterward. Someday, hopefully beginning now, some coaches will stick around long enough to restore the consistently high performance. You may note the the WORST year Walkoviak had in 20 years was the 4-5 record in 1985. His team rebounded the next year to make to to the QF, losing to eventual state champion WOS by 5 or 6 points.

and scored more runs at state than any other 3a team in the history of the tournament.

it would help even more if Jasper loses to HJ. but if Jasper wins over HJ as many seem to expect, and if Silsbee loses to KV, then what if Jasper loses to Silsbee by say 7 points? Would Jasper go as the third place team since Jasper has a 21 point win over HF and HF has a big win over Silsbee? What if Jasper loses to HF by a lot? toss a coin to see who makes the playoffs? Obviously, if either Silsbee or Jasper win out from here, they will be in the playoffs. It seems to me to be an extremely long shot for HF to make the playoffs, or am I missing something here?

KV has been letting teams hang around that in theory should not even be on the same field. Has something happened to KV since they played Jasper? Silsbee wins by at least 14.

No, you have to respect everyone. Even Lumberton is winning a few games this year. And I think that IF Jasper does get a commanding lead, Coach Brooks will be substitutiong freely to give the backups some experience for down the road. I truly believe the score will not be that high; unless the reserves keep scoring as they did against BC.

Dog fans, please get a reality check. HJ may be having difficulties, but they will be HIGHLY motivated to spring a huge upset. Jasper in a game much closer than folks seem to think.

I agree that it was cool. But in no way was I, nor anyone I saw grabbing for blankets. Maybe we are just more used to the cold up here in the North country. Regardless, we Jasper fans are glad you made the trip and bought tickets.

Freezing? Then clearly you were sitting on the visitor side. The temperature was very pleasant on the Jasper side. We just must talk to the administration about setting the temperature the same on both sides. Seriously. p.s. I stayed until the last second ticked off the clock.

It was not I who left. I was there to the very end. Always am.

To Jasper of course ........

The NC team I saw is not doing very well in 4a. Perhaps 5a would motivate them more.

true, but that may not be true for all GT'ers. ;D

maybe they call it the Alamo because they may have had a bad experience there. ;D

hey, you may be right. you probably are right. but not many posters gave Jasper the slightest chance against HF either. the person who started this thread only said IF.

and even more creepy for you to think about was that Jasper was coming off the ONLY losing season that Coach Walkoviak had while he was at Jasper. or how about this, the last time Coach Brooks coached Jasper against WOS ........ it got to be pretty ugly. or how about this one. the last time Jasper had a 2-8 record they won the district outright the next year and in the process knocked off two state ranked teams. None of this means anything now of course, but I expect one fine competitive ball game Friday, and I plan to be there! beware the ides of October! er, i mean the witches

jasper's qb is a converted wr. Enough said. no problem for anyone.

No, as a matter of fact we're not that smart. ;D
