The Chester ISD school board decided to cancel the last two football games this season due to lack of numbers on the team, safety precautions. Chester will forfeit there remaining two games to Evadale and West Hardin.

I HATE this!!! But it is probably for the best...so no one else gets injured. My thoughts and prayers are with y'all Chester Yellow Jackets!

I feel bad for the kids from Chester. I know they would have suited up and played hard in both of their remaining games. I know they are proud of their athletes in Chester as they are in every other school. This is one of those things that you cant predict at the begining of the year.

Has Chester considered dropping to 6-man football. I heard that their cost a couple of weeks ago was 59 which is less than it was two years ago. Chester had a simular situation three years ago when they played Evadale at the end of the season. They only had 12 players to start the game and two got hurt during the game so the Jackets finished with 10 players.

I am by no means saying they cant compete, but at some point you want to see the kids compete at a level where they know they are among equals. That is the reasoning for the Division1 & 2 district alignments beginning next year in 1A and now I believe 2A as well.

I know there are not as many schools playing 6-man in SETX as there are in Central and West Texas, but it is an option that is available to a smaller enrollment school and Chester is the smallest 1A in the state playing 11 man football.

Good luck on the rehab and we look forward to seeing the Jackets on the courts and diamonds later this year.

      After his silly conviction, President Trump has raised over 200 Million dollars!  The people are seeing through it!  Excellent!

      Let’s see if joe biden’s words about no one is above the law, made after the rigged trial of President Trump, rings true with his po💩son.  Hopefully, but I’m not going to hold my breath, they put the sorry sob in prison.

      I liked his no bull crap attitude. He was a man of very few words. Extremely strong and freaky athletic!!! As close as possible to being the best offensive lineman to ever play the game. I hope his family finds peace without him!!! RIP #73

      Chester, a small town in NE Tyler County.  A town that is seeing growth with the addition of a national chain store and a new school being built.  If you travel 287 toward Dallas from the Golden Triangle you have probably passed through Chester.  Things tend to stay pretty consistent and it is your typical small town.   A trip to state is the buzz around town, and the talk before church services begin on Sunday.  This year’s graduating class will number 11.  We don’t have a radio station that covers the Yellowjackets.  We are never a lead story on any of the news stations that broadcast to our community. With all that said, there is a closeness and sense of pride in our community.  Every community rallies behind their kids as they progress into the playoffs.  We are proud of our boys as they have represented our community well and with class. We invite you to follow our boys as they go to state.  We welcome the greater SETX communities as honorary Yellowjackets.  Tune in, watch live or come to Round Rock personally and join us in supporting the Chester Yellowjackets.  Go ‘Jackets!!! ⚾️💜💛⚾️🟣🟡⚾️💜💛⚾️
