A few years back Jasper won a AAA State Championship. Last year the Bulldogs advanced to the State tournament they won 30 + games and were 13-1 in probably the best AAA district in the State. They win their district almost every year and always play deep in the playoffs. What is Kirbyvilles baseball track record? Have they ever even won a AA district title? You just cant compare an average baseball program ( at best ) to one of the best high school baseball programs in the State. [/quote]true the track record has not been all the best... came in second last year.... the year before had a great group of sr that started off well... but fell apart in district...only one SO. played on that team.. Kale Jones...the JV did win district....which were made up of SO..... Last year all JR. except 1..... but they are all sr.... THIS YEARS TEAM can play ball....I believe 5 of them played on those all golden trangle teams... the topic is 18-3A this year right...so you can compare them... they are in the same district now.... your quote about jasper is exactly right..."[b]A FEW YEARS BACK[/b] they did win a state championship......... If we were talking about ovrall program then I would say Jasper.... every year changes... yes they have a excellent program but Kville should contend with them THIS YEAR!!! [/quote] The point is with Jasper we are talking about an overall program. A baseball program that every year just reloads and then goes out and wins. Last year, this year ,2007, 2006 whatever year its all the same they just win. Very few programs are like that. Carthage and Hudson are like that also. Thats what made the last two years in 18AAA so special. I wish Kirbyville all the best. I know many of the kids on last years and this years team. Jasper teams have never fallen apart once district starts. Thats why they are who they are. You just cant compare the programs they are far, far apart. [/quote]so with your statement Jasper, ever sense the school opened, Jasper has had a outstanding baseball program.... never falling off one year....please.... i can remember whippin that A$$ when i was younger......And I did not live in Kville.... I can remember whippin Kville in football as well.... 54-16.... THAT WOULD NOT BE THE CASE NOW!!!! SO WHAT HAS CHANGED??? THE YEARS!!!!!! weather it be coaching or the kids are just a little more athletic that year....other wise the same school would win district and state every year.... We are talking about teams this year....... and Kville has shown that THIS group can compete.... beating teams with "top baseball powerhouses programs". buna, silsbee, HJ, orangefield and even JASPER... and there games with Jasper were not even close, 10 run ruled 4 of thoses 6 wins as fresshman......... Im not saying Kville will beat them......I am even agreeing with you that Jasper has a better PROGRAM......I just want you to realize, Kville does have a shot at a district champship THIS YEAR.... [/quote] Again, no disrespect intended but if Kirbyville wins in baseball it is pretty much an aberration. Jasper has consistently won in baseball for 30+ years. Mixon has taken the program to another level,but even before him they had always consistently won. You cant say the same for Kirbyville. Have they ever consistently won in baseball at the high school level? And say what you want but summer ball doesnt even count.It's completely different than playing high school baseball. Good luck go out and prove me wrong. Then do it again next year, then the next, and the next..........., then you become a Jasper.
