Understood, I keep it real. I have stated many times for everyone to read: “the kid looks like he will be a good player in the future” and that “he was one of the best JV players I saw this year”. Do you want me to say he was the best varsity player? Do you want me to say he beat CS JV? CS JV was "world beaters"? I will rely on the judgement of the WV coaches (who had him on JV) and what I witnessed (which was a loss to CS JV). Sorry if that is offensive.

Understood. WV JV was so "above average" that they "lost to CS JV". I only saw him play in one game and he looked like he had the potential to be a very good QB in the future. The WV coaches have seen him every day and they felt like he was a JV player (for whatever reason). He should be on varsity this year. I expect him to make a good showing for himself.

CS JV won a share of the District Championship and beat Woodville (and QB) "head to head" and "on the field". I stated multiple times that the JV was "mediocre at best". However, "mediocre" was good enough to beat Woodville JV. 3A JV is very low level football for high school, second only to "2A JV football".

I "was watching him not be able to run the offense against a team of freshman" who were "not good enough to play varsity" en-route to a loss against said team.

Yes, they tied for 1st place with Coldspring and he lost head to head with Coldspring. He showed himself to be a JV QB who lost to a CS team with "not one player remotely close to being varsity caliber". You can make all the excuses that you want.

I watched him get shut down by a mediocre (at best) Coldspring JV. If anyone knows anything, they know what JV players do at the 3A and 2A levels. Coaches keep their jobs based upon varsity results. There are not enough coaches to coach JV separately and there is not enough time in the day for JV players to get the same reps and work as varsity players.

And in this case, the answer is: "He was not good enough to be a varsity QB on Woodville and really not most 3A teams". He was a JV QB who was able to win most of his JV games, but he struggled at times against 3A JV competition. Just not sure how he received his "D1 anointing". ***However, I expect him to be a good QB in the future.

110%

He may have been held back because he was not good enough to play varsity or at least was not good enough to be a starting QB on varsity. They may have wanted him to keep getting QB reps that would have been unavailable on varsity. Definitely was not on the level with the varsity QB.

Anahuac is the favorite hands down in 2024.

Barrier also played well on "Varsity".

Definitely was not his performance on JV. But there have been many players get much better into their soph-sr years. At this moment he is holding similar offers to Jett Suratt. I am anxious to see how he looks on Varsity this year.

Did I hear that Barrier picked up a D1 offer this week?

"San Antonio Christian"

That is what I thought but I figured you folks would be able to find it for sure. Was a little tougher back then with fewer teams in the playoffs.

How far did they go with Granger?

I heard Franklin had 15 that could go 7 innings.

*** Clearly those D1 colleges see it different. Their opinions are the ones that count.

He is definitely a good looking player and I have no doubt that he is going to be a good QB in the future, but I find it shocking that he has those offers. I would expect a D1/P4 player to dominate 3A JV competition and he did not (at least to the level of that caliber of recruit).

Was he the JV QB this past year?

Talent pool is on the rise. Big things coming

This should be a year for Jasper to win the district but WOS is going to be on the comeback with their young group. WOS will be back to normal next year. HF might be the top competition at the moment. Not sure about Silsbee.

He played well and had the attention of every team in the district. They will be glad to see him go

No doubt they spend a lot of time training and competing but cheerleading would not exist without football. Even the schools that don’t have football and still have cheerleading are supported institutionally by the schools that do have football. Cheerleading is part of the “football game day experience”

And also basketball and track. Basketball had losing records 6 out of the last 10 years. Everything is normal there. Volleyball has had horrible years before and so has softball. Probably should make the title: “what happened to Jasper baseball and girls basketball”
