Atmosphere is good in my opinion.  And the artificial turf lets Jasper better capitalize on its usual abundance of speed.  I understand Jasper has re-loaded on speed this year.  Carl Limbrick for sure.  By the way, how does he relate back to All-State RB Johnny Limbrick back in the early seventies?  1969 and 1970 if I remember correctly.  I bet Silsbee fans remember him.  I would guess there is a connection.  I think it is something in that Jasper water!

They are supposed to, it worked for a few minutes, then failed on me.  Check out the KJAS site; maybe it will work for you.

HJ, you came to play.  For sure, you woke up the Dogs!  Congrats to both teams for a hard played game!  And hello Coach Clay!  I think I still owe you a steak!

Wowsy.   Hawks came to play.

I was unaware of Terence playing in the NFL, but here it is.
"Continuing his football career, he played a total of nine years as a professional football player: 2 ½ years - NFL (Tampa Bay Bucs, Kansas City Chiefs, and Miami Dolphins) 2 years - NFL Europe (London Monarchs, Scottish Claymores) 6 years - AFL (Houston Thunderbears, Indiana Firebirds, and Arizona Rattlers)."
Amazing!  And Zack Bronson, eight years with the 49ers.  Three Jasper players off the same fotball team played in the NFL; four if you consider Ben Bronson's short time in Indianapolis I think it was.  Am I missing anyone?  And that 1990 team did not even make it out of District!  Amazing when you consider how many 3,000 student plus schools NEVER have anyone make it to the NFL.

Newton, you are bound to get better this year!  Good luck the rest of the year.  Glad there is no way we have to play you again this year.

I know the feeling!  I have been afflicted like that for over 60 years ............... !

I seriously doubt that!

I seriously doubt that!

Keep grasping for straws, sir. Maybe a poll by the members of this site, who actually watched the @Texanlive broadcast would influence who won, no strike that, appeared to play better in the non contest.
Delete this if you want. But we know what happened.

Good thing for Jasper. 😎

Save your BS for someone else. Nowhere in that write-up did I ever say anything like that. I've said before that Jasper will probably lose a few games because of the tough schedule, but they might be better at the end of the year than they have been the past two years. I'd be shocked if the Bulldogs got past either WOS or Carthage in the playoffs. 
 

I just watched the video and neither team was any match at all for Jasper. The announcers pointed out that the Bulldogs won't have as much depth this year as they have in the past two or three years, but man are they fast! 
The second-string offense was effective for the most part against Evadale's first-team defense, but the QB-center exchange was pretty ragged as there were at least four fumbled snaps. The running game was solid and there were a couple of nice pass plays mixed in. I was really impressed with the second-string defense. One of the defensive ends (#81) was in on everything and the Rebels had all kinds of trouble moving the ball. 
The Bulldogs first-team was pretty sharp in both the controlled scrimmage and the two timed quarters against Coldspring. The offense scored touchdowns on the first three possessions and will be run-heavy as usual. The top two guys are going to be a pretty formidable combo and can score from anywhere on the field. Jasper didn't throw much at all, but they had some success and should be a little better in the passing game than in years past. The defense was pretty stout for the most part, but the Trojans managed a score in the half that they played because of a Jasper penalty that got them into scoring position. 
Overall, it was a good night for us considering the long lay-off from football. I'm hoping we'll have football in Lumberton next Friday night. As usual, the weather plays a huge role in things early in the season. You guys make sure you're prepared for whatever comes. God bless...

I have read that Vidor has actually been trying to change their image.  If true, I am delighted for that.
As for Jasper, a murder can happen anywhere.  The bad guys can get there on the same roads you drive.  It is how the people in the town react to the bad deed that should define the town.  And unlike what might happen in so many places; within 24 hours all three miscreants were sitting in jail.  And within about a year or so, two were sitting on death row (and have been executed) and the third was serving a life sentence.  That is what I hope people remember about Jasper, Texas.  They took care of business.  No need to change the name.  Frankly, I am offended by that suggestion.

Some of Jasper's best teams have been the "young" teams; then they implode their senior years unfortunately.  Evidence:  last year

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.

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.

I think Rafael Adams went on to play college ball at LSU?

We are here from Needville watching. Jasper puts on a really good tournament. 

Yes, unfortunately. Coach Schu has a great group of girls in Jasper, it looks like Palestine played the game of their lives unfortunately. 

Will the game be broadcast?
