I wish they could find a way to play this a few hours earlier. There's a really good chance that the weather will escalate right around game time, according to The Weather Channel's hourly projections. Their forecast for Jasper specifically mentions the threat for severe weather and tornadoes.
Only need to win by one, my friend. I don't think it makes sense for anyone to compare scores against common opponents anyway. That's a futile fan exercise.
I know they want to make sure that the game is completed before the worst weather moves in, but they should also account for the Silsbee team and their fans' ability to get a bite to eat and get home, too. If it were me (thank goodness it's not), I'd move the start time back to 5 or 5:30. I know it's sacrilege to be compassionate to them at all, but maybe I'm growing up a little. 😂😂

Interesting story about 1938. These schools have no love lost at all. They never have,
Yeah. There are always biases on both sides. We don't need any unnecessary controversy outside of the two teams not being that fond of one another. At least the fans/alums of both schools on this board get along really well. I'm thankful for that.
Thanks for the info. There's a really good drainage system in Jasper, so the field will be fine. It's just a matter of whether there will be thunderstorms...like last time. We all remember that. LOL
It's interesting to see how it all worked out. I didn't think we'd be in this position going into the season. A win against Silsbee would put the program ahead of schedule and be a great springboard to the postseason.
Gonna be a good one. DCTF has the Tigers as a 9-point favorite, but it doesn't matter in this rivalry. We've all seen that anything can happen.
Jasper put up 28 in the first quarter tonight before Coach Crumedy put backups in during the 2nd quarter to get them some good experience. Had to avoid injuries to get ready for next week.
I can't wait!
Backups have already played some. I believe the Dawgs scored on their first four possessions. HJ has this big H-back type kid that caught a 70-yard TD pass, but they have 67 total yards for the half, so they haven't done anything otherwise.
I saw on the KJAS website that we wanted to move this game up to tonight, but H-J insisted on playing it tomorrow night even though there's still likely to be rain in the area. Look under the Friday night part of the schedule.
Not sure what's behind that decision, but they don't pay me the big bucks. 😁

I wish I could be a fly on the wall at that meeting. If people on this board found out I was there, the swatters and shoes would create quite a racket. Not to worry, though. I'm an old, slow fly. 😁
