I am a WELL member, we are fairly solid, but lately Jasper has had the stong hand. We have WELL Jr's playing in Jasper tonight for Championship (lost 1 to Jasper already)-----12 year olds lost to Jasper 3-2 last Saturday night (great game) may see them again tomorrow night if we beat Buna tonight (Buna 12's are solid also)---11 year olds were defeated by Jasper Tues night, and I think play them again tonight.

not sure on the 10yo level.

Is having "select" players on your All Star team bad?  EVERY good All Star team is full of "select" players.  You have to play a lot of baseball to be competitive at a high level. The difference is, In Jasper, our "select" players play TOGETHER for years.  We form teams made up of almost exclusively Jasper kids at the age of 7 or 8 and those kids play together for years.  In other leagues (like WELL) these select players play on different teams with different kids almost every year.  Playing together year round makes a HUGE difference.  Also, for the most part, our select kids stay in league ball, mainly for the oportunity to represent their hometown in All Stars.  Our kids all play baseball together and dedicate themselves with the dream of being a JASPER BULLDOG someday and that is why our baseball program has been so solid for the past several years....because it is a [u][b]Program[/b][/u].  Our kids,coaches, and parents see the big picture and stay together to groom players for the future of Jasper Baseball.

I watched the 11 YO game in Jasper versus Lumberton....The names in the field happened to be the same names as the 10 YO all starts on the banner from last year.......they have a good program.

Jasper has done a better job keeping all their kids playing than WELL recently.  So has BC.  It's hard to keep them all playing with the lure of Ford Park just down the road.

I agree that the smaller towns have a better chance of keeping a "core" group of kids together, but I'm sure as with other leagues, it's not just the "lure of Ford Park" that keeps them home!

Jasper/WELL was a GREAT series. The kids on both sides played their hearts out. The umpire crew was an All Star cast of their own and did an excellent job. Fun to watch two competetive teams battle, but at the same time show respect for each other.
I may be a little biased but the 3 run go ahead homer from WELL # 2 in my opinion was the high point.. :) ;) :) ;)

Low point had to be Jasper pitcher getting hit in chest. I take it he is doing fine, I got a laugh or 2 out of him when we where checking on him so I take it he is going strong. I hate seeing a kid get hit in the chest

      What a Travesty of Justice

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      You have a choice between two guys in November that neither of us can change or could have changed. You can continue to whine and moan, not vote, vote for biden, I couldn't care less what you do. Those of us that choose to face reality simply deal with it. You just keep your fingers crossed hoping biden will win in November so you can get on here and be the star of the political forum (in your mind) by telling us all I told you so, even though you had as much to do with this situation as any of us. And yes, I can claim he was a good President, because he was, and I and others have made long lists of the reasons why, which you cannot refute. You have a good day wallowing in your perpetual misery.

      There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.

      All sports lose money... period.. Yes football brings more revenue but still loses money with all its costs...  Football does not "fund" other sports..  It is funded by budget.. which is paid by state and local taxes.  I have seen many games this year where less than 200 parents show up to the games. Do you think these schools got rid all other sports cause their football team did not gain enough revenue at football games??... come on..  I would agree football is bigger in Texas.. no doubt... All I'm saying is other sports should not suffer cause of football Offseason... I know coaches think that 10 extra practices in April/May will determine if they are successful in November.. I just don't think its worth destroying another sport to do it.. especially with all the summer to practice...
