On August 22nd the Jasper Newsboy will produce its very first Fall Sports Preview!

This special in the paper will include team and group photos of football, volleyball, cross country, bands, cheerleaders, drill/dance teams from 16 area high schools that are in the Newsboy coverage area for the Sports Spectrum Sports Page of the paper.

Photos, schedules, features and more will come from Jasper, Newton, Woodville, Kirbyville, Buna, Evadale, West Sabine, Hemphill, Burkeville, Colmesneil, Chester, Spurger, Warren and we will even include three smaller schools, Brookeland, Broadus and Zavalla who will be in preseason workouts in the Fall.

This will be a special publication and the Newsboy will need help from all the schools so help us spread the word. We will need team pictures in uniform with coaches in the pictures from all of these schools. We know that some schools contract with companies to provide the pictures, but these are often hard to deal with for publication so if someone else can take the picture and forward it to the Newsboy that would be great. If no one else is available then you can request that we send a photographer from the paper.

Please keep in mind that the deadline for the submission of photos is August 15th, which provides plenty of time to get the section ready for the press. But the photos can be sent anytime before that date.

To make contact with the Newsboy the phone number is 409 384-3441 to send photos you can email them to

      So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

      Roger.  I misread your comment. Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.
