[quote name="Bobcat2003" post="1268961" timestamp="1347507120"] 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... [/quote] 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.

better for the other teams in the district for them to put their money into a scoreboard rather than something like additional coaches or an improved weight room!  ;D

Huntsville is an enigma.  Montgomery 30-7

[quote name="bobcat4life" post="1267816" timestamp="1347400285"] I'm gonna eat crow and tell you that I was shocked at the difference between this years Jasper team and last year.  There is a drastic difference.  I'm proud of our boys, they didn't get too down, and kept playing in the second half.  I'll have to say that is THE worst group of officials I've ever seen, although they were bad all the way around and had zero to do with the outcome.  Good luck to you guys, and I hope that your announcer has lost his voice next time we come to visit ya'll!!  :) [/quote] Thank you for coming back!  Wondered where you were!  ;D I am still waiting further proof that Jasper is really back, but it is looking better for them each week.  The games with KV and WOS will tell the tale.  In the first scrimmage, against 4a Marshall, Jasper dominated.  Not my words, Marshall fans words.  Nacogdoches fans might argue this, but in my opinion Jasper also dominated 4a Nacogdoches in that scrimmage.  For sure they did in the one "live" quarter 14-0.  You know how the games with Liberty and OF turned out. Good luck to OF in the remainder of the season.  You should be competing for one of the playoff spots in district.

another jasper county beat down is coming.  buna is tough.  especially at home.

Newton 45, OF 20

LM wins, but not as easily as they might think.

Congrats on the big win!

congrats Newton on the big win!

Defense  has improved 1 game at a time.. Next up wildcats [/quote] Yep..Kirbyville defense has improved from last season too... ;) [/quote] We will find out wildcats up next Jasper 35 wildcats 14. After we pull our starters again [/quote] gotta leave the starters in against kv to get the starters ready for wos!!  ;D  dogs may not yet be "back" but they have made tremendous progress.  OF fans rightfully can be proud of their three wins over Jasper in the past.  But that does not change the fact that Jasper was 2 and 8 for two of those years.  not very good by Jasper standards.  they lost to most everyone those two years.  but now, Barbay seems to have them playing defense again.  that can make Jasper into a rather formidable opponent.

Tonight, we will get a better read on whether the Dogs, or the Cats are truly the real deal!  :)  I expect to hear a good game!  Wish I could be there.

[quote name="bobcat4life" post="1261202" timestamp="1346870383"] Absolutely no way Jasper keeps OF under 30. Once OF decided to play they scored 28 in one half.  That was without Carl Wiley, who in my opinion is the best player hands down on OF's team. He is the same kid that had a 98 yard run last year against Jasper as a Sophmore.  The game will come down to turnovers and possession. It should be a good game. I do find it interesting that OF has won all but one of the games in the last several years, yet every pick has Jasper winning... [/quote] mine was just a homer pick!  ;D  by one point.

[quote name="Smoking Baby" post="1259858" timestamp="1346720019"] Navasota has this one.  King is not even close to a Navasota. [/quote] cs is mad from last week!

[quote name="89falcon" post="1227251" timestamp="1338400197"] [quote author=lp4life link=topic=100264.msg1226879#msg1226879 date=1338313030] with the explosive offense returning if liberty can just field an average defense they will make some noise in 22-3a. Also don't expect them to just roll over to jasper and newton. Coming of a 7-3 record these boys are ready to take the next step. [/quote] If they "make noise" in 22-3A they should beat Newton handily and defeat Jasper as well. [/quote] ??  Newton just handled a pretty good Bridge City team?

Navasota is going to be much tougher than CE King.  Coldspring 14-13.

I expect a good game as well [/quote] Really? I didn't know we had only played you all four times. I could have sworn it was more. I guess my mind is going. haha [/quote] First meeting was in 2006 when we had the monster 8 team 3A district. OF won that game at the Dawg House 33-6 I believe it was. Then Jasper won at OF the next year in Thomas Brooks's first year back 24-14. Then the two non district games, 2010 at Jasper where OF won something like 49-30 and then last year OF won in OF 47-37 [/quote] thanks for the clarification. then it is clearly jasper's turn to win!  ;) ;D 8)

it only gets tougher for Liberty.  :-[

[quote name="1motime" post="1259179" timestamp="1346634770"] Jasper--16 Orangefiend--15 [/quote] That would be a good score.  :)  Don't want the dogs to get over-confident.

good luck to both teams going forward!

(Except Waller)  ;D [/quote] For whatever it is worth, Jasper rode a 3 QB system to the state finals in 2004.  All 3 were on the field at the same time.  You just never knew who the QB would be until the ball was snapped.

Hey, it is okay to believe in your team.  8)  After Friday night we will begin to have a much better read on things.  It is hard to tell what Jasper has since they only scrimmaged 4a schools.

Coldspring

Come on guys.  I picked Jasper in a homer pick.  But Liberty has a good team.  Where is the love for them?  Jasper will have its hands full with Liberty.

Jasper  24 Liberty 17

[quote name="NewtonNation" post="1250996" timestamp="1345910227"] Good stuff. Good luck this year Jasper. We are pulling for y'all! [/quote] Thank you for the good wishes!  And good luck to Newton!
