I agree, IF ............. you could have a good chance to win. On the other hand, Jasper has been working on the passing game. Especially last night. But Center does stand a good chance of making it a game. Might even win.

Dern! I was pulling for you.

Resting him!

Sounds like a little war.

They are running the clock now, closest things to the ten run rule there is in football...............

Go Bellville!

Halftime

Jasper up 43-0, still in second qtr Jasper is trying out their passing game, and spreading the ball around.

Jasper up 36-0

Wet field at Huntington?

True. The absolute insane thing is that he only had 20 carries against WOS when he played the entire game.

Jasper worked on the passing game last night. Probably will this next game also.

Same old song. WOS always (almost always) finds a way to win. Congrats!

Shepherd FG, 7-3

Shepherd first and goal.

Shepherd moving the ball. Might be an offensive shootout.

Jasper once again scored on first offensive play. 7-0

The Jasper Dogs are hungry. Doubt that they will slack off for anybody. But true, some real competition is good. Thank you WOS for giving them a game.

True. You snooze, you lose.

That was exactly our friend's point. We don't talk about English Americans so why African Americans, unless they were born in Africa. Then they would have some African customs. She said she has never even been to Africa so knows nothing first hand about Africa. She said she answers to Black, and resents being call African American. That is not my definition, just passing on her comment. If anyone wants to pursue this topic I think we need a new thread.

I doubt that any WOS team has EVER given up those kinds of yards. The big question is, is WOS that bad this year, or is Hunt that good. I think Hunt is just that good. In Jasper's first five games nobody came close to shutting him down, and WOS didn't do much better than the first five teams. If you have not been following the Jasper-WOS thread Hunt had on his first six carries 3 TDs and over 200 yards. Hunt didn't have three hundred plus yards in the earlier games because he sat on the bench after the half as far as I know. Unless Silsbee has a RB like Hunt (and few teams ever do) then Tigers better be ready for a slobberknocker football game. WOS is still a good and dangerous team even if perhaps they are not at their usual level. Don't know about Silsbee. Wouldn't try to pick a winner. Good luck to both teams and may the ball bounce well for you.

This belongs in its own thread perhaps, but a friend volunteered this the other day. She said she was born in the USA so she considers herself black. She said that if she had been born in Africa, then she would accept the term African-American. That seems reasonable to me.

Good post. From where I sat (Jasper's side of course) Jasper was much more than a one trick pony. Somebody was doing some good blocking to spring Hunt loose. And as for speed and size, WOS was indeed very good. Jasper was just faster, and bigger just judging that only a few times did WOS chase any Jasper player down once they cleared the secondary. Even when Jasper recovered the ball on the 2 point attempt, no WOS player even came close to chasing down the Jasper player as he scooted to the end zone. On the other hand Jasper in most cases seemed to usually chase down the WOS players. And at the seven minute mark in the fourth quarter, Jasper didn't even try to use their speed, they just went on a smash mouth up the gut running drive of some 80 yards to kill off the clock. I would not call that a one trick pony. But that was only last night. It is a foregone conclusion that WOS will get even better and I think that anyone that has to play them in district better bring their "A" game. And honestly I hope that if both teams make the playoffs I hope they go in different brackets. I hate to see Jasper have to play any team twice in the same season. Still ticked off about 1986! Just joking. A little bit anyway.

WOS will get good for Jasper. Always have. Don't expect this year to be any different.

Clearly not the LaMarque of old; or Jasper is much better than I expected. Or some combination of each.
