Apparently a tougher district! Jasper's record is actually misleading. A 3 point loss and a 2 point loss don't indicate a huge difference in the teams.

Broadcast just finally started.

I am listening to KJAS. Are they not broadcasting this game???

Game write-up: [Hidden Content]

Congratulations Coach Davis! I am astounded that you could leave coaching, but I wish you well. By the way, in case you have forgotten, I still owe you a steak!

When was the last time Jasper beat Silsbee in the basketball playoffs? I know it happened; I was there. But cannot remember the exact year. Long time ago!

Records are made to be broken. But Jasper will always be the first high school team to go under 40 seconds.

Luckily, I got into the stadium just in time to see that race. Bryan Bronson, WOW, what an anchor he did run!

What can I say about this? WOW!!!

Congratulations to Bellville! And to the Dawgs for a great season!

TD Jasper!

And to be fair, Jasper well may have played the toughest preseason schedule of any 4a team. Four defending state champions I heard.

Counting that way makes FOUR to the NFL! Not shabby for a little East Texas town! Many much larger towns would be happy to have had one player make it to the NFL, ever! And as an aside, two kids that did not play football made it to the 96 Olympics in Atlanta. That same year, the newspapers in San Antonio, with a population of over a million, was bragging about having ONE athlete in the Games

I think taking the quiet approach is pretty much the Jasper way. Oh, we poke fun a little bit sometimes, but rarely seriously. Jasper has had too many very good teams get sidelined over the years. One of the very best didn't even get out of the district. That Jasper team sent THREE players to the NFL. Two lasted long term. One was an uncle to the Jasper Defensive Coordinator. No, Jasper fans know to pretty much keep the trash talk down.

Make it 41-6 and I will tell you a story. Once upon a time, another 4 loss Jasper team met up with Bellville fairly deep in the playoffs. Same Regional Simis as I remember. Jasper of course not given a chance. Bellville had the famed Ernie Koy, Jr who would go on to star for UT and the NY Giants. Final score; Jasper won 41-6. But of course that won't help Jasper this time around........ Oh, if you want to look it up, the year was 1959. Just yesterday in my mind!
