Either team would make me nervous. If Sweeny's defense is as good as they've shown, that will be a tough game for us. Any game against WOS makes me feel the same way. It's all about matchups on a given night. Any of these games can go sideways really quickly with penalties and turnovers. Best of luck to both teams this week. I hope Jasper can play well and get a shot at either of these teams...

The winner of this game gets the winner of the WOS/Sweeny game. I objectively believe that Jasper is the favorite in Region 3 to at least make the state semifinals as it's the deepest Bulldog team in a very long time. I'll start this thread by taking Jasper by 21.

Might be a low scoring game. Sweeny's defense has been salty all season and WOS will have its hands full. This one's hard to predict.

There have been lots of instances in our history that we've been good like this and lost games that we shouldn't have in the playoffs. This year seems rare to me and I've been following the Bulldogs since 1982. We've never won a state title and I think this team could be the one to do it, but you never know. In '82, we were 12-0 with 23 points allowed for the season and Thurman Thomas went nuts on us and we lost 34-7 to Willowridge. Anything can happen, but I hope the Bulldogs play their brand of football next week.

Looking forward to it.

Yeah, but I'm not sure how. We've had a ton of Limbricks come through the program. From the sounds of it, he's every bit as good as Hunt. He's a sophomore and Hunt is a junior.

Final: Jasper 49, HF 14

Jasper scores on another long TD run by Carl Limbrick. He's gotta be at around 175 for the night along with 3 TD runs.

HF scores again. 42-14 Jasper.

Jasper quickly scores on the first play from scrimmage. 42-7 Jasper.

HF scores on a TD pass late in the 3rd quarter. 35-7 Jasper.

Jasper leads 35-0 about halfway through the third quarter.

Still 28-0 at halftime. We need to send a message and keep them off the board tonight, but they've moved the ball well at times.

28-0 Jasper with 1:20 left in the first half.

They're saying that he won't play tonight and probably won't play next week, either. The running game is pretty strong without him.

Jasper leads 21-0 with 9:13 left in the first half. The Longhorns are doing a pretty good job of controlling the ball and shortening the game, but the Bulldogs are clamping down when they have to and getting big plays on offense.

Holy crap!!

Thanks! I have some great memories of games when I was in Jasper at the old stadium and even the couple of trips I made to Orange to watch those games. Looks like our teams could very well meet again in a couple of weeks.

I was trying to show respect to our possible opponents. I know what we're up against. We need to get back to playing clean football and even though we've won handily the last two weeks, we've been sloppy at times. The coaches would be the first to tell you that.

Hunt hasn't been used on offense much at all since the WOS game. They've been rotating out several other backs since then and Hunt has played more on defense. Those backs aren't as explosive as he is, but they can all break one at any time. We should be okay these first two rounds if he can't play or is limited, but I'd like to see him be the primary back after that if we get that far. The playoffs are a different animal and anything can happen.

I don't know much about the Longhorns this year. What should Jasper expect from them?

I remember that now. I just hope Montavien's okay. We have all of those other backs and they're very good, but he's the gamebreaker that we need to get the most out of this playoff run.

When's the last time that we lost a district game? I can't remember....

Jasper will run out the clock. 54-25 is the final score. Jasper wins the district and finishes the regular season 10-0 for the first time since 1983!

Jasper put the backups in and Center scores on a long TD run. 54-25 Jasper with 3:08 left.
