That sounds like a lot of fun. 

It truly was a lot of fun.

There were families from both sides that had been friends for a long time. When the game was in Silsbee, my parents usually hosted the get together and when the game was in Jasper, either the DuBose's or Foley's hosted. Usually around 30-40 people would be at these get togethers. I really miss those times.

Silsbee's kicker will kick at the next level. Big weapon.

Nah. I just told myself that I don’t respond to weak instigating trolls that throw rocks and hide their hands.  I talk sports to sports guys, not trolls.  Consider this the last time I respond to anyt

Wayne and Betty Dubose use to live in Silsbee. He was the city manager before he took the same position in Jasper. They lived on our street before moving to Jasper. Long, long time friends with my family.

I am from Silsbee, but graduated from Jasper.  So I have a unique interest in these games.  Been to many of them and have had numerous kinfolk play for each side.

Who knows how this one will go, plenty of talent on both sides.   But what a heck of a week these kids and coaches have had to endure.  I hope both teams enjoy themselves and play some good SE Texas football.

Go Dogs.

lets just hope the silsbee people can act right for a change and there is no cheap shots taken on players.

it is a shame these teams can't play every year because of the actions of 

Jasper has had more than their share of cheap shots!! Remember the 2016/17 basketball season when Silsbee beat Jasper by 60 and a brawl broke out after the game by some Jasper 1988 graduates 😂😂 vs high school kids . Hope all is great and a hard fought game. Safe trip fans!

      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?

      What has happened to Jasper?

      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.
