I remember Coach Harper well. He had the Mustangs rollin' back in the day! I hope Coach Williams can return them to their glory, but that's a big job...

RIP, Coach. I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but you definitely touched my life. Prayers to his family and to the Newton community.

If we can just keep everybody out of the training room, we've got as good a shot at a title as anybody. This season is gonna be fun, friends!

Ben also punted and would kick 40 yd field goals just messing around at practice. He had a cannon for an arm, too.

I remember all of those guys very well. Just a ridiculous amount of talent for one class. Zack Bronson and Clyde Williams were on that team as well and both of those guys spent time in the NFL.

Yep. It's unfair. I can't tell anyone of color where I'm from without getting a double-take. It was that way when I was in Denver right after it happened, in my 12 years in Seattle and the entire time I've lived in Albuquerque. Everyone knows about it.

Hopefully, this will give the good people of Jasper some closure. It's been a day of mixed emotions for me for sure.

KJAS reported about a half-hour ago that the witnesses were called in. It's either done or very close to being done. Just waiting for them to come back on and confirm it.

If the defense plays like it did last year, we have a shot to go a long way. Scoring points should come pretty easily for the offense.

I remember when Reggie ran roughshod over everybody and I was shocked that a struggling TCU program made him a receiver.

People aren't talking about Carl Limbrick, who was a pretty good tailback for us last season that will be going into his junior year. He was explosive at times also.

It's entirely possible that WOS, Silsbee and Jasper will be in the top 5 in the 4A DII preseason poll next summer. WOS overcame a tough start and should be outstanding as usual next season.

WOS did a good job clogging the runs between the tackles too. The Mustangs coaching staff has done a whale of a job with their kids. I got the impression early in the season that the normal fire was missing from that group and they had it in spades tonight. That's not meant to take anything away from the Jasper staff and players. We were right there and just couldn't get it done...

It was everything I hoped it would be other than not getting the win. Congrats, WOS. Go win the whole damn thing!

The big key to me is turnovers. The balls are gonna be wet and I think both defenses are gonna play well. Who's gonna make the fewest mistakes?

Coach Barbay didn't seem to optimistic about Hunt playing this morning on the radio show. That could be gamesmanship, though, in case someone from Orange was listening.

Sorry AAW. I'm working off of very little sleep the past two nights. I hope we get to play the Tigers next week. That would be the biggest Jasper/Silsbee game in the history of the rivalry because of what would be at stake.

I'd put Pleasant Grove at #3 behind our teams. They're really good. I'm not so sure about Gilmer, but they're playing well when it matters the most...

I agree with you, j_dog. This very well could be the de facto state title game.

Don't shoot me. I said maybe. I haven't forgotten about some of those early-mid 80's teams. This is definitely the most complete team we've had since then.

I've been pretty quiet this week so far, but I will say this: Over thirty years of history means absolutely nothing this week. This Jasper team doesn't have that "here we go again" mindset that has hurt us in the past. I truly believe that this is one of the best, if not the best, team Jasper's ever had. We've played like a championship team from the start like WOS often does. JasperDAWG and I have seen a lot of the same football over the years and I also have a ton of respect for the Mustangs. Both of these teams right at this moment are very good and it's gonna be a classic. I think the winner of this game just might win it all. Let's play a good, clean game and see who is left standing when it's all over. I can't wait!

If Jasper Fan is a player, he needs to stop talking and get ready to play. I would imagine that even if he is right, no one wants that information leaked. I'll wait for the official word tomorrow. I don't think anyone knows anything yet.

LU is up 6-0 already. Good to see them in the playoffs.

Is there a Wal-Mart in Buna?

Just play the damn game in Orange. I'm being sarcastic, but we old school Jasper fans would play WOS in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
