????What has been their record since he left? Have they played less than 13 games in any season? Did they make it to the title game this year? Semi-Final 3 years ago? Seems like they are doing decent? Did Vance win the title every year? Did Vance's successor have the same winning %? or better?

Tarkington definitely has a "chance to win some games". Make sure you play Huntington, HD, WH, or Hardin. That is what they (and Tarkington) are for: " a chance to win some games" and "homecoming opponent".

Is Tarkington forecasting to be an affluent area of the North Austin Hill Country? If so, you might be right.

The good thing is that there are playoffs and rankings mean nothing. Will be interesting to see what they are ranked 3-4 rounds into the playoffs when all the "deserving teams" are being eliminated. Rusk likely has the best pitcher in the state and he was not available until last week. Expect a "miraculous" turnaround for an "undeserving team".

They are voting on "who is pitching now and what they are at this time". Everyone (including the voters) know the story.

I suspect the voters know who just returned to pitch.

Bill Belichick could not go .500 at Tarkington.

Agree 100%. As a member of the "peanut gallery" you entitled to say anything you want. Always more experts in the stands than on the sidelines. If the coaches could ever find a way to tap into the knowledge of the stands, there is no telling how much greatness they could achieve.

?? Can you read? I believe you can read the transcript where I said "he did not become dumb all of a sudden". The Jasper coaches did not quit, they worked hard, they are good coaches and the team they fielded this year was very tough. Is that enough clarity for you? You seem like a coaching expert. Is it possible the players would not do what they were told? Is it possible they could not run a different offense? Is it possible that the coaches tailored the offense/defense to the players? How many times have you put in a game plan? for Carthage? etc?

LOL, you got me figured out. I am a "Rusk Eagle fan". You were closer to the mark with your fantasies about the Jasper coaching staff.

You may not be "alone" but if you think the Jasper coaches "quit" you are out in space. Quote all the threads you want but no one "quit" and Jasper fielded a formidable team and they finished strong. The Barbay "you had" did not become dumb all of a sudden, nor did they run a "Jr High type offense". Did you personally personnel the squad? What did they do at practice? What were the skill sets of each position group? Did any of the key spots/players have limitations? These are questions for which you surely have the answer?

Has any other coach in Jasper's history had a "3rd round ceiling"? or is Barbay the first?

It looked Like there coaching staff did too. No doubt. Seems very likely that the "coaches quit". Coaches always "quit" and the fans are the ones who can tell. Just by watching in the stands, the fans can tell that the coaches "quit" and that they probably didnt spend several hours watching film. Just decided to "quit". That is what it means when a team loses by 13.

SS is the best player I have seen this year.

Center 9 Alto 8 Final

Agreed. They are very isolated which leads to genetic dysfunction (similar to Hardin, HD and WH). They have served a valuable role in providing "homecoming compliance" for opposing teams.

I kind of felt like Silsbee is the epitome of a "well disciplined" team. I could not tell you exactly who is the dominant player (at least from the games I watched) but they are very good all the way through the roster with very little drop off regardless of who is on the court. Also, they weather other team's runs without panic or becoming "rattled".

Yep

Silsbee wins this one. Would have liked to see a rematch of Center and Silsbee. Connally benefitted from Center best player not playing.

Center best player was not available.

Final: Center 69 Manor Tech 45

Final: Center 60 CS 32

Love the HF infighting. HF has always been a little "odd".

A lot of people "hen ants to be closer".

Expect Rusk and Hudson to be a factor.
