Jasper has dropped Newton from their football schedule for next year. Newton is now looking for a week 3 opponent, Sept. 8

Not sure what the reason for Jasper to do this in the middle of a realignment but one has to think it could stem from the recent shooting.

it does. I think it is a smart/responsible  thing to do. Them not being on schedule won't change one bit how our season goes.

Sometimes adults have to make the right decisions

its unfortunate and both will probably have a hard time finding a game at this stage...especially Jasper considering how strong they are projected to be

Lucky for both of them Louisiana schools are filling out their schedule now and both not far from the border time to reach out and make calls to the other side of the Sabine.

That's strange seeing as they switched their realignment years over to even numbered years to match Texas.  They can switch their non-district schedule every year now too?

Both teams agreed to drop the game. Yes it was because of the shooting. There was threats made that Jasper was going to retaliate during newton graduation. Newton moved their graduation to their gymnasium and we had extra police at graduation. 
it is a shame that a few kids can mess it up for everybody else.

      I played 4 years of college basketball... and knew at a very early age that it would be my passion.  I also played football.. and baseball in JH/HS.  During football/baseball seasons I got in a lot of basketball drills.  Before school, after practice, and on weekends.  I most definitely have a problem with using time for YOUR sport during time that's allocated for another sport. As I mentioned in an earlier post, focusing on a sport doesn't mean abandoning the others.  It just means finding extra time. Players that want to be great will do that.

      well then I'm with you on the other stuff you stated.  I don't at all have an issue with a basketball player getting some jump shots in during football, or some easy BP swings, etc.  But I don't want basketball players doing box out drills, batters facing live pitching, etc during football, and vice versa on football drills during those seasons.  I guess I should've clarified my original post with the caveat that I don't think they should be doing major work in multiple school sports at the same time.

      They could hire Nick Saban or Andy Reid and you wouldn't buy in.

      No Sir Non Contact Drills, probably not a big deal. But even 7 on 7 with pads or just helmets is a recipe for disaster. Non padded 7 on 7 in a controlled environment, maybe.

      Be willing to bet there are more people worried about the lack of success than success at Nederland. I see them winning 2 district games maybe 3 next year.  If you are looking for success at Nederland in the next couple years your best chance will be baseball. Time will tell but it doesn't seem like people are buying into what the new coach is selling.
