Gonna be a good one for sure!

I know there are a few Lions fans on here, but as you would expect, they're quiet. Before last Friday, they had beaten Jasper four straight times and it's never good to see a program struggle like they are right now. I think they'll beat Huntington, but it'll be close and sloppy.

WOS 56, BC 0. They're gonna send a resounding message that they're still one of the best teams around.

It's interesting how DCTF has Jasper ranked #2 in 4A-DII, but they're not getting votes yet in the 4A AP poll. I guess we won't see that unless we beat WOS next Friday, which is far from a given. Records don't matter when we play those guys.

LaMarque has struggled out of the gate, but I have a feeling that they're gonna be ready to go this week. Does Jasper keep rolling or could this be a trap game heading into the showdown with WO-S next week in Jasper?

That same thing has always been true in Jasper, too. We don't always get the results we want and the relationship isn't always what it needs to be between the powers that be and the athletic department, but we've always had athletes. Getting everybody focused on one goal always helps and it looks like that's starting to change.

No. If I remember correctly, a lot of Cleveland's players quit before that game. We were ranked #1 in 4A going into it. Total yardage was like 750 to 10.

They beat Cleveland 82-0 in 1989 and that was with four touchdowns called back.

Holy crap!!

Final score: Jasper 71, Livingston 10.

Luke Collins scores from 15 yards out. 71-10 Jasper with 9:42 left. Goodness...

Charlie Burnett scores on a 1 yard run. 64-10 Jasper with 11:55 left in the game.

Livingston scores on a 1 yard run. 57-10 Jasper with 3:32 left in the third quarter.

Montavien Hunt scores for the fifth time. Jasper leads 57-3 with just under 11 minutes left in the third quarter.

Halftime score: Jasper leads 50-3.

Womack to Jackson for the second time this half from about 20 yards out. PAT is good. 50-3 Jasper with 18 seconds left in the first half.

Livingston fumbled and Jasper recovered in the Lions end zone. PAT is good. 43-3 Jasper with about 3 minutes left in the first half.

Montavien Hunt runs for his 4th TD of the first half. 2 point conversion is good off of the swinging gate. 36-3 Bulldogs with 4:42 left in the first half.

Livingston just had a nice drive stall inside the Jasper 5. Field goal is good. 28-3 Jasper with about 10 minutes left in the first half.

15 yard TD pass from Womack to Jackson after another Livingston turnover. 28-0 Jasper with about 1:50 left in the first quarter. The Lions have fumbled at least 5 times already, mostly because the QB can't handle snaps out of the shotgun.

55 yard TD run by Hunt on a reverse. Jasper leads 21-0 after the 2 point conversion with 2:34 left in the first quarter. Livingston can't get anything going on offense at all.

10 yard TD run by Hunt after a Lions fumble. 2 point conversion failed. 13-0 Bulldogs with 6:51 left in the first quarter.

5 yard TD by Montavien Hunt. Bulldogs lead 7-0 with 7:24 left in the first quarter.

I remember talking to Coach Walkoviak about the same thing years ago when Ben Bronson was the quarterback. We probably threw about a dozen times a game and had pretty good backs, but he always said that there was more risk for turnovers in the passing game, He was right, but Ben had a cannon for someone that was only 5'9" and he was pretty accurate, too. I think Coach Barbay has a lot of his dad's philosophies that worked for so long and it's probably not easy to deviate from that.

This should be another game that the Bulldogs win easily, but what's going on with Livingston? They're really down this year and I know they've been good at times in the past. Why can't they win consistently over there?
