Bulldogs oust Cardinals, 5-1 Gabe Pruett The Orange Leader NEDERLAND — It could easily be said the Jasper Bulldogs have now beaten the Bridge City Cardinals twice this week. First came the coin flip to force a one-game playoff and then came Friday's 5-1 victory in Nederland in the Class 3A Region III regional quarterfinals. Jasper (26-6) wanted no part of Bridge City's (26-7) pitching depth and settled to a winner take all and it was the right call as Justin Parsons outlasted Matt Hicks to send the defending state champions into the regional semi-finals against either Hutto or Carthage. Parsons hurled all seven innings for the Bulldogs giving up just one run on four hits to go with 10 strike outs and three walks. Parsons threw 102 pitches for the victory. Sophomore Hicks did his part on the mound giving up just six hits with six strike outs and one walk. It was the lack of hitting which spelled doom to the Cardinals' season. Neither pitcher had given up a hit until the top of the fourth when Bridge City's Joe Robertson led off with an infield single. Hicks followed it up with the first of his two doubles to push Robertson to third. After an intentional walk to Casey Jackson, Parsons got Blake Hubbard to strike out and then went to work on Jaden Dillon. Dillon did his job and hit a fly to right field to give Robertson plenty of time to score making it 1-0. It would be the only inning Bridge City would string together more than one hit in a single inning. Sophomore Luke Rhodes had a single in the fifth and Hicks doubled again in the sixth yet was stranded on second. Bridge City loaded the bases in the sixth with two outs yet Parsons dug deep and found a way to get out of the threat. While the Cardinals were struggling to find offense, the Bulldogs scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth to take the lead for good. Taylor Hart struck for an infield single and after a ground out, Malcolm Bronson stepped up to the plate. Bronson hit his second homer of the season off Hicks into right field to give Jasper a 2-1 advantage. Jasper was not done as they scored three more times in the bottom of the fifth. Aaron Stephenson and Parker Phillips hit back-to-back singles to right with one out and Cord Yates followed with a two-run single to right field. Hart then reached on a fielder's choice and moved all the way to third on a Bridge City error. Hart would make it 5-1 when Bronson was able to reach on what the press box gave an error. Bronson slapped a hard hit ball to second base and the ball took a huge bounce over Bridge City's Eric Matthews glove giving Hart time to score. Hicks struck out Parsons to end the threat. Even with a 5-1 lead Jasper Coach Shawn Mixon never stopped trying to score more runs in the bottom of the sixth. With Parker on third and Phillips up to bat with one down, Phillips squared to bunt for a squeeze play. Hicks fielded the ball nicely in front of Jackson and flipped to the senior catcher for a nice second out. Hicks then got Yates to ground into a force out. Parsons would not allow a rally by getting the Cardinals out in order in the top of the seventh. The loss ends three outstanding careers for the Cardinals as Jackson, Dillon and Jason Clark will all graduate. Jackson led the Cardinals in numerous offensive categories as a senior and Dillon and Clark each played outstanding the outfield for Bridge City while also having a combined 13-1 mark on the mound. Dillon and Clark won Games 2 and 3 last weekend against Needville to set up the series against Jasper. This is the second year in a row the Bulldogs have eliminated the Cardinals, last year doing it in a thrilling three-game set at Lamar University.

Sharpshooting girl, 12, banned from boys team BEAVERTON, Ore. — Jaime Nared is nearly 6-1 and blessed with Michael Jordan-style skills. In games, the 12-year-old can more than hold her own against the boys — dropping three-pointers and sometimes scoring 30 points or more. And there, according to her coach, lies the problem. She's so good, Michael Abraham said, she makes the boys look like scrubs. So she's been told she can no longer play on boys teams at The Hoop, a private Beaverton basketball facility that runs a league in which Abraham's teams compete. The trouble started last month, when parents told The Hoop management they didn't like Jaime playing with the boys. Hoop officials notified Abraham that Jaime, after years on one of his boys teams, was barred. They cited a rule, in a document coaches sign when they enter teams in the league, that prohibits mixed-gender teams. "I never saw the rule," said Abraham, who has coached basketball, mostly girls and women's teams, for 32 years. "If I'd known about it, I wouldn't have put any of my teams in the league. Besides, she's been playing on this team since second grade, and she plays on our team when we travel around the region. There's never been any problem in any event, not one word of complaint." Neal Franzer, The Hoop's director of operations, said Thursday that parents were "adamant" that their complaints have nothing to do with Jaime's skills. "They said the problem was the boys were playing differently against her because she was a girl," he said. "They'd been taught to not push a girl, so they weren't fouling her hard, and the focus had shifted from playing basketball to noticing a girl was on the floor with them." Hoop officials e-mailed Abraham to remind him of the rules. "The rule may not have been enforced in past years," Franzer said. "We have new management this year. It's policy, and we enforce policy." Abraham, Jaime and her parents don't buy it. "I think the complaints come from parents who don't like seeing a girl that good playing against their sons," Abraham said. Jaime, who said she "fell in love" with basketball when she was 8, likes the boys team because they play a fast-paced game. "I think the boys on a specific team don't like me," she said. "It doesn't seem fair." Jaime's mom, Reiko Williams, said the issue boiled over after a particular game. "She scored 30 points," said Williams, who garnered national attention for her daughter's predicament Thursday after taking the story to the media. "I remember one play. She stole the ball, dribbled up court and made a behind-the-back pass to a teammate. He missed the lay-in, and she grabbed the rebound and put it in. I think it was just too much for some of those parents. "The next day, she came home and said they wouldn't let her play with the boys anymore." Abraham put Jaime on the boys team in the first place to both match her skills and keep her with peers. He has had her play on high school girls teams, but many travel and "her parents want her to be around kids her own age," Abraham said. "How much does she have in common with 18-year-old girls?" And when she played on same-age girls teams? "We beat one team 90-7," Abraham said. "At her level, it's like having Shaq on a high school team." He said the boys on his team enjoyed playing with Jaime — among a handful of girls to play on his boys teams over the years — because she helped them improve. "If she were 4-feet-9 and no good, we wouldn't be having this discussion," Abraham said. "To appease a small minority of parents, in this day and age, is stupid. This is a decision that really targets her. She's a well-adjusted kid who happens to be great. "I can't think of one boy that we've played against that's had a problem with her," Abraham added. "Maybe their dads do. Teach the boys how to handle her. Front her, deny her the ball. You sure as hell don't complain. Listen, she's a girl's girl, but she plays tough. She's no cupcake. She gets knocked down and takes a charge." For now, Jaime is back playing with girls — on a sixth-grade team and a nontraveling high school team. Abraham appealed The Hoop's ban but was denied. Jaime, whom he considers the best sixth-grade girls basketball player in the country, is the one who will suffer, Abraham said. Even so, she's sure to play in college and beyond, he said. Her father, Greg Nared, played at the University of Maryland, and her older sister is headed there in the fall on a basketball scholarship. "This argument is so ridiculous," Abraham said. "We're talking about a 12-year-old girl. She's just a kid."
