On-sides are part of the game.  Good coaching and execution.   Don't hold and TD's stand (both of those calked back were on the same drive btw)   And Crosby had maybe 1 less 4th down attempt than Jasper   
Here how it should work after a great game:
Crosby looked every bit as advertised   They were very talented on offense.   The young qb had moments where he showed serious skill   The rb was in a class by himself on the field.   Jasper's offense executed nicely with some nice runs and good usage of their TEs.  I think Jasper's O-Line did an amazing job.  Crosby defense are excellent tacklers and play aggressive.  I think there is a lot more potential there than some of their fans think.  
It isnt often when jasper plays teams with that kind of speed and a defense that brings the lumber the way they did   Very glad Texanlive posted the game for us to watch   It was worth the watch    We aren't Manvel but I am quite certain we gave Crosby plenty of film to analyze and get better by   
 
 
 

Are we allowed to say it was a great game after all?  Just wondering, and noticed 14.2 labeled it a good game and gave Jasper some props.  Bulldog football is on the upswing imho.  Let's hope this is the sign of good things to come.  We have been pretty notorious slow starters the last few years so maybe there is quite a bit of upside from here.

I walked out to parking lot with several Crosby fans in their words we gift wrapped the win for them with our turnovers they said they were shocked at all the athletes we had for such a small school... fact is because of our location we don't get the publicity that they do 

Jasper Freshman 14 Crosby freshmen 6 at half

Unfortunately since the days of Walkoviak, we do not schedule the teams twice our size as we did in the past.  I was upset when we quit playing Lufkin.  They too got too big for us..even though we beat them 5 out of 8 times in the 80-90's.
Playing teams better than you is a good thing.  I am glad the circumstances forced this "showdown," and from our perspective it will be a "great" game.  Who knows maybe Crosby does return the favor and puts a 70 point beat down on Jasper.   I get it, you take pride in your team and don't like not being respected to the level you feel Crosby deserves.  You have had a very good 3 year stretch with some amazing athletes.   Jasper had a pretty good year last year, and if indications of the scrimmage against a Newton team 1/2 our size tells us anything, we might be a bit better this year.
 

I'm close friends with Westbrook and he told me Coach Thompson DID contact him about going back, and appreciated the offer, but he was going to stay at Jasper.

I believe for the kids that play here is a lot of relevance. The fans of every team that doesn't win a State 7on7 championship will say it doesn't matter. I believe every kid that goes down there wants to win. If nothing else, there is always a pride factor. 

To all the SETX members,
It's time to take the board back and make it into the place we all enjoy. For quite some time this place has gone downhill for a variety of reasons. If you want a prime example read the BC vs Silsbee baseball game 2 thread starting on page 2, it's just over the top nonsense by both folks just trolling and moderators doing the same thing. There have been some really cool people who posted great information that just quit contributing due to all the trash that gets stirred up. Some of those folks completely left and that's a shame because they made this board a great place for people to get caught up on local high school athletics as well as college sports to some degree. I would like to humbly offer up a suggestion and that's to create a totally separate forum for those folks who just want to antagonize each other and let the trash talk flow. Let all those folks who constantly derail topics have at one another to their hearts content and stay out of topics where they disrupt everybody else. Hopefully this alternate forum can be created and the sports forums can go back to being about sports, the real reason most of us got here in the first place.
To the Moderators,
I personally appreciate the time you guys put in to keep this place going, I know that's a huge undertaking and thankless job. Hopefully you can "police" the site in the future and discourage all the "foolishness" by sending those unwanted comments to that "alternate forum". One more public appeal to "AAW" , you are an ultra knowledgeable guy who has done a fantastic job promoting local high school sports and I thank you for that. You were always super nice to my son while he was playing and you have been a stand up guy on other issues as well. I would encourage you to promote a little more positive responses to topics by yourself and others going forward because this board is the lifeline to local sports for people all over our area and beyond.
With respect to all,
Rake1
 
 
 

Anytime Jasper or Carthage lose in the first round that is notable.  Silsbee was clearly the better team this year.

Districts don't make it a habit to give away students...students equal money!!

Lombard's lifetime record isn't gaudy just because he has great players.  He makes players great with his system.  He is a true legend of the game.

You're absolutely correct Dove and I have a son on Silsbee and I told the officer last night when the parents from LCM went on floor I went in parent mode he will always be my cub to protect. The actions these young men make we have to question but not give up on them teach them and make them own up to mistakes and be better I always say when the air goes out the ball what can you do next 

I love seeing the quick apology.  I will always be a fan of Devon's.  We all make mistakes.  It's how we learn from them and our actions from that point on that make us who we are!

Coaches, players, and administrators at LCM are deeply embarrassed and saddened at the events that transpired in this evening's basketball game.  This type of situation has no business in high school sports or athletic competition anywhere and it is a shame that it occurred.  
Three Silsbee players were ejected from the game as were two from LCM.  I will not list names, but all ejections were for throwing punches.  The official ruling on the game was this:  ALL players on both teams left the bench area, rendering them ineligible to continue the game.  This results in BOTH teams forfeiting.  According to the officials at tonight's game, the team leading at this point is awarded a 2-0 victory.  That team was Silsbee.
It seems that the majority of the posters on this issue are Silsbee fans.  That is to be expected given Silsbee's pedigree, but I do not believe they've given a completely accurate portrayal of what actually happened.  Players from both sides of this were responsible for this unfortunate incident, but the game film does not show LCM as the aggressor.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  Furthermore, no LCM players tweeted anything at Silsbee today.  That is fiction.
 

No they don't...many people don't get how good Silsbee is...agreeing with you.  And the rest of his post clearly shows he thinks Silsbee is primed for another run at the State Tourney.
Be nice to see another State Championship come to SE Texas this year.

Sometimes when you are a true team, you just don't have the individual stats that a lot of these awards are geared around.  I think all in this area know who owned the gridiron this year on both sides of the ball.

I suppose they don't include the MVPs in those list.  All of the MVP will likely be Mustangs..KJ!!

Glad to see that he has gotten his timing down.  The only ones I saw him miss in the games I have witnessed was when his timing was off, some of it due to mishandling by the holder.  He has had LOTS of opportunities this year.

Not in favor of merit pay of any form for teachers or for coaches.  Am in favor of raising their salaries instead so it counts toward their retirement.  If a coach is doing a good job, give him a raise.  It is that simple.  Same thing is true of a teacher.

Let's make sure they all make the same amount of money and have the same playbooks while we are at it.  *sarcasm* 
These guys put in unreal hours.  Most districts have stipends up to a healthy level for the extracduties.  The idea of a bonus is not the best idea.  If they do good, give them a raise.
As far as teaching classes are concerned, if you want the best coaches you better be ready to compete for them, which means not only pay, but allowing coordinators to have some favorable teaching loads--or no load at all.
Texas high school football is one of the very few things that actually generate substantial income for some districts outside of the normal funding.  This will not happen in many places if you aren't winning.  So a few perks are in order to keep the program healthy.
