Congratulations, guys!

I want to take time out to thank everyone in the area who supported us this year I received many text and phone calls from posters on this website.  I want to thank Todd for all the updates on the game.  I want to thank everyone in general for the support for our baseball programs it does not  go unnoticed.

Goodness no!  Saving 'em for State!!!

He out coached himself all the way into the state semis.  Hopefully he out coaches himself two more times and brings home a state title!

Congrats Dogs.  And Salado, what a great season!  You pushed Jasper to the very end.

Congrats Jasper!

This is for all of those folks that were on Coach Westbrook's case after last season:
 

Saw last weekends games and saw the tourney run by Shawn's boys.
 If I remember correctly back in 07 Jasper had a bunch of sore arms come late playoff and State Tournament time and they had to drastically change they way they had done things for most of the year to play to a new found strength. That's the sign of great coaching. We've got that again here.
 From what I saw last weekend this Bulldog team was much better than a very good Robinson team. I also saw both games vs Hudson this year. This years group is solid.
Now the above is coming from an old man who now resides in Carthage but the one true difference between the two teams sits on the ring finger of the 07 players and coaches from Jasper.
Hopefully by the end of next week we can call the two teams equal.
 

The Lady Cougars close their historic season with a 6-2 loss to Grandview to fall 2-1 in the Region III Finals.
Congratulations to Coach Sherman and the Lady Cougars on an outstanding season!

Jasper has been underestimated all season.  This is a Jasper team with a 30-5 record with those 5 loses coming to Sam Houston (2nd Ranked 5A team in LA), Acadiana (3rd ranked 5A team in LA), Kelly (TAPPS State Runner Up), Central Heights (Top Ranked 3A Team in TX), and Hudson (District rival, 14 inning game).  They played a very TOUGH schedule and beat quality team after quality team, yet never received the recognition they deserved.  Being the under dog is nothing new to these kids and they thrive in that role.  They have a team full of hard ball players, great coaches, and they all have grit in their teeth! 
Look at their stats:  .310 team batting average, 15 HRs, 262 Runs, THREE Pitchers with an ERA below 1.7 with a combined 27-2 record.
These kids will show up to play and it's gonna be one hell of a series!

These were two very good teams.   The 3 Each team had 3 or 4 excellent pitchers.  The difference was jasper’s hitters.   They hit from 1-9.   
A few errors here and there by both teams, but fun games .
 
 Salado looks like another powerhouse.   They get no easier from here

The streak is broken in 2018.
SETX vs Robinson since 2010
2018 - Jasper (W)
No disrespect for Robinson.  They are a well coached and good team.  I'm sure Robinson will be in the path many more times for SETX teams.
 
 

Player for BC texted player from Jasper and asked about bats.  Jasper played explained that we had bats for the season and we got two new bats for playoffs.  One is a 33" and the other 32".  The bats are the hottest on the market and come out the package with pop.  These two players play together in the Summer and have the highest respect for each other on and off the field.  The player from BC said okay and it was over.  Same thing this topic of loaded bats needs to do.  Two really good teams that unfortunately had to face each other early, but as a parent and fan its the most exciting baseball with jam packed stands, great ball players and two great games.  I'm sure there will be many more BC vs Jasper games in the future.

I really think Jasper has a pretty good shot to be the first local team knock off Robinson since the Jeff Bennett led Bobcats did so way back in the 2010 Regional Semifinals. Been saying all year this Jasper team is one of the best in Region 3, and they weren't getting the credit they deserve. This series should determine the region 3 champ.

Good luck Jasper

Time to let this thread die.  On to the next round....

Whoever the hitting coaches for Jasper should get a raise. That is one of the most disciplined hitting team I have seen in a long time. I did notice the team1-9 using the same at but didn’t think anything of it. Congrats Jasper. Keep it going. 

Jasper owns Bridge City in the playoffs! Both very talented teams. BC will be very fun to watch over the next couple years! Good luck Dawgs

Congrats Jasper

If these games are like those of the past they will be exciting to watch.  Teams match up well and both teams have some very talented athletes.
