Does Jasper's non-district & district schedule hurt them?

I think so because the non-district schedule is not very tough and there is usually only one legitimate district challenger.  I think this hurts the development of the team's mental toughness and this is needed to play schools like WOS & Carthage. Playing a tougher non-district schedule will payoff for the Dawgs.

Liberty typically has been a fairly good 3A team.  Went like 14 straight years straight with a playoff berth.  They should have been a playoff team this year.  They would have been much, much better this year had they not lost their qb.

Orangefield had beaten Jasper 2 out of last 3 attempts.  They very well might challenge for the 3rd spot in their district.

Kirbyville is not far removed from being about as good as any 3A team within 150 miles.  I think they will surprise some people this year.  They still have some talent.

WO-S is always a great test.



These aren't the days where we can schedule Lufkin, Kingwood, Forest Brook, Huntsville and Smiley to get us ready for District.

Hopefully the new coach will add Silsbee back to the schedule and I wouldn't mind seeing them add a team like LCM or Central to their schedule.

WO-S, Silsbee, Orangefield, LCM, Liberty    That would be a good predistrict schedule. 

They were playing Gilmer, WO-S, Silsbee, Kirbyville and Newton...that wasn't working out so well for them.  Can't say it improved their playoff runs much either.

Are you saying Newton, Kirbyville & Gilmer are weak. that would be kinda way off out there. Silsbee is a rivalry game for Jasper and Newton & Silsbee split the last two games with each other. Newton and Jasper has somewhat of a rivalry being 15 miles apart. Kirbyville is a rivalry game for Jasper also and I really question what is wrong with Gilmer  unless it  is travel distance. jmho

Jasper will be fine. I see a very bright future for the Jasper football program. They are just getting started!

X2.  Give Barbay time, he will and has already got this program heading in the right direction.  I think as many tough non-district games you can get is great, but I also think your team needs a few of the less challenging games to let them see what they can do and gain a bit of confidence, especially as the program changes hands and is being molded.  Jasper should take nothing but confidence away from last nights loss, they scored on a team that 4A teams haven't scored on.  They battled hard and minus the 2 big turnovers, were probably in a 3-0 game.

Jasper will be fine.  WOS is a high caliber opponent, and Jasper will learn a lot from playing them

Barbay will get the scheduling junk worked out.  Just give him time.

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
