Master T Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Shouldn't Jasper be in the mix with these guys, they did put up a fight to try to make it to playoff against the contenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no-look Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hudson and Carthage should get in. Third is up for grabs. I think Diboll loses two best players. Central should be down. Huntington has most everyone back and should be better. (split with Hudson and Diboll this year) Not sure about Jasper, they are always tough. How many starters are graduating?.......also Center will be tough again...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT HEART? WE DO Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think Jasper will do well, but I think if the coach can figure out how to get the ball into Spikes and Bailey hands more often when it comes down to clutch situations, then the team will be OK. Also, if Jasper gets a good postman, and another (shooter) then they will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPTRUNNERBOY09 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Jasper will be tough to beat espicially with bailey and spikes handling the ball. They also have more height coming in look for a bigger and stronger team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 no-look, Jasper's has two 1st team all-district players returning (Kwame Spikes/Dominique Bailey) and have some subvarsity kids that are ready to step up. They have committed the off-season to developing 6-5 Matthew Barrows and 6-4 Justin McCullough. Their kids will be starting spring ball soon and the gym is open. Expect Ryan Gaston, Anoir Walker & Brandon Weatherspoon to step and they have a sleeper in guard Jonathan Hadnot (didn't play this season). Expect them to be bigger and faster than the previous team. Their in the weight room and playing ball as much as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no-look Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Jasper is always tough. The last time Jasper was in Huntingtons district, they split both years......four games and 11 overtimes..........7 the first two games......I wonder if thats a state record? That was some of the best games to watch....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPTRUNNERBOY09 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 dont forget Jasper came out of a very tough district with teams like Hardin Jefferson and Silsbee who went to the state tourney this year. Jasper knows all about tough teams. I think they will be ready for this new district. Look for them to come in and win some ball games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT HEART? WE DO Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 After watching the Spring games that the coach has started, I can tell the difference in play in Bailey and Spikes. Both players are on different teams, and you can see why these two players were all-district. Spikes scored 41 points, with his little brother on the same team he had 14, watch out for his little brother in years to come. Bailey has 20 plus points in two games. Coach, make this year happen for these two young players, you can't go wrong by putting the ball in either one of these two players hands. In my opinion, the starting line up next year should be Spikes, Bailey, Mccullough, spoon(or gatson), and hadnot. Spikes has the potential to score deep, deep anywhere on the court, BAILEY has the speed and ability to make any defender miss, I'm looking forward to watch these two players go to the 18-3a district and make the crowd wonder, where these two young men come from.

JackFan Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't know much about Jasper, so I can't comment, but I have seent the other teams in the district for the last two years. Hudson - Bring back Thomas Davis and his brother Ja'Lexius. Always tough to play at home, and should do very well with those two. Should compete with Jasper for the district championship. Center - Only losing two starters from a team that was in the playoff chase until the last week. Post Corey Garrett, who is 6'8, should anchor their defense and his offense continues to improve. Alex Cloudy is a good PG and has two years of varsity experience. If Center can win a few tough road games, they should make the playoffs. Central - Lost Jacolbi Bias, but it's always a challenge to win at Central. They're guaranteed to go 6-1 at home in district, so picking up a few road wins would give them a chance. Diboll - Will be talented, and have some decent big men that should help them improve defensively. If Jacolby Spencer can carry the guards, they may surprise some. Carthage - Talent, but young talent. Carthage graduated eight seniors and all five starters. There will be only 3 returning letterman. There is talent at the sub-varsity level, but that young talent will be inexperienced. Also have a new coach. Huntington - A group that is pretty talented, but lacks athleticism. Tough to do in this district. Coach Tim Bartlett is new to the district, but if he can get them to play consistently, they could surprise some too. Huntington started off district 3-4 last year before losing some tough games and finishing 4-10. Rusk - If discipline improves (new AD), then Rusk has some athletes that could be dangerous. JV did fairly well in district last year, and new facilities will have the kids excited about playing basketball. My prediction: Hudson, Jasper, and Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction: Hudson, Jasper, and Center I had Carthage in the playoffs, but didn't know that they lost all starters and with eight seniors......If thats the case I will have to pick Hudson, Huntington and Jasper for playoff spots....(no partictular order) Jasper....talented guards that can go. Hudson....almost everyone back. Huntington....could start three 6'5"s....summer games(for whatever thats worth)...Lost to Hudson by two. Beat a good Lufkin team(split varsity) by 1. beat Diboll by 26....much improved. Center will be hard to beat......good point guard and a 6'8" Central Pollock.......will be down and small, but coach Collins will have them competive... Diboll......Lost a lot to graduation and had a starter to move(so I'm told) Rusk......should be down, but will have some good athletes.. They may want to go ahead and play the games just in case I'm wrong...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFan Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Well, it was strange last year that a team that goes 2-5 on the road in district with some really bad losses can go 6-1 at home against the same teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrich von Lichtenstein Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Jasper will be tough again. It seems that every year, Hudson is going to have "the best team they've ever had" or something like that, and then they beat somebody big in predistrict to really get everyone jacked up, but then flame out in district or the first round of the playoffs. This whole district has the potential to be tough, so it should be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no-look Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 There's an article on Texas Hoops about Corey Garrett, 6'8" from Center that had a good summer......said to have several scholarship offers.
