I understand OF is weak this year, but to call a team a creampuff that has beaten you more than you beat them is kind of dumb...

Yes, that may be taken as a slam; I would have chosen different words.

But I doubt that it was directed at particular teams such as OF.  Perhaps rather at the former coach that by all accounts that I have read and heard would not schedule Silsbee.  Who knows, that may have helped loosen his grip on his job?  You just don't quit playing a team that you have played for over 50 plus straight years without a super good reason.  Silsbee should have been scheduled FIRST, then worked out schedules with whatever teams were available.  Not the other way around.

Anyways, Jasper has to play the teams that will play them.  No 5a team will play them anymore, and neither will many 4a teams.  I personally heard one 4a coach state that no way would he schedule 3a Jasper.  Period.  At least he was being honest about it.  Jasper fans had grown used to playing a level above in pre-district.  It appears those days have gone bye bye.

jdog sumed up my comment as it was intended..A coach should look at the talent coming up for the next two years. imo he should do his best to challenge them (play above there head) to make them better and prepare them for the playoffs. Our core group is JR's and will have to play the same schedule again next yr...Seems to me that the last two coaches are worried about W's in predistrict.  during the 80's coach wakoviac (sp) always told us we had 3 seasons...predistrict,district,playoffs. I mean no disrespect with this comment but jasper only has two tuff oponents on its schedule...wos & carthage...my feelings are  that we should have played or try to play 4a schools and of course silsbee in the mix, teams tend to play to the level of thier competion...

Jasper is good, and has a chance to be very good!!! The Orangefield game was one of those snowball games, things started out badly for my Cats and they just keep getting worse. Jasper scores on first drive in like 5 plays, kick off and two plays later we fumble inside 30. On 3rd and long Jasper scores on a tip pass that if it's not tipped they don't score, 14-0 Jasper. Next kickoff we muff the ball and it rolls in the endzone, we bring it out instead of kneeling in the endzone. We start that drive at the 5 yard line, after a 15 yard shanked punt Jasper takes over inside the 30 once again. Touchdown Jasper 21-0, on the ensuing kickoff we again muff it and instead of bringing the ball out or kneeling it we just allow Jasper to recover the ball for another touchdown...Jasper 28-0!!! And there's still over 8 minutes to play in the first quarter.

Jasper still wins this game regardless, even if we don't have those early mistakes because they were simply the better team, but the game should have been a lot more competitive. Until we stop turning the ball over and stop making mental mistakes this team is gonna struggle. But I believe our staff will work all these kinks out, we're young but we've got some talent and we'll definitely compete for a playoff spot!!!

    • I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.
    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
