Thank you all for starting the game "early". It is 1:06 am here in Barcelona, Spain. But I wouldn't miss this game for anything!

End of qtr

Wow! Jasper up 10-0. I think it is still in 1st quarter.

Keep the rain away! May the best team win.

When, and where is the weekly Jasper Booster Club meeting?

And Palestine over Nacogdoches, but lost big to Jasper, who now lost to Newton big. Makes no sense, except here's a big congrats to Newton. You put a good ole country boy whupping on Jasper!

Now we're seeing why this coach was hired!

No interest in this game? Interested, but I know nothing about what Palestine has this year.

I am having trouble getting even the radio broadcast to work. Apparently there is a new version of TunedIn. Any suggestions?

I think it was partial in 1967 (by choice) and fully in 1968. Yes, the overall play got better in a hurry!

Ah, Rowe High School. In the early to mid sixties we loved to go watch them play football. You might not believe this; but they sure seemed to be a lot faster afoot than we were used to seeing!

Can't help, but that game is engrained in my mind. Three Jasper offensive plays; 21-0 Jasper lead!

I like the three! In 2004, the one time Jasper made it to the State Finals, they finished third in the district.

Only time will tell. But some people have Snap; some people don't. If they don't have it; they will never have it. It's an intangible that you are born with; or not. My take is that Coach Crumedy was born with a lotta Snap; and we are all about to see it exhibited. You can't teach what he obviously has! I can hardly wait to see what he produces on the Jasper football field. I think you are lucky if you know four or five such people in a lifetime; I think Jasper is now blessed just as Carthage has been in the past several years with a homegrown coach. Again, we will see. I think he said he grew up on Huff Creek road. Can't wait to meet him!

I get chills just listening to Coach Crumedy! I don't think I have EVER heard a football coach that was so fluent and excited about just existing. And he brings a very impressive record as Offensive Coordinator at Manvel, a big school Houston area school. Jasper football may have it's best years ahead

Honestly, expecting a lot more than that.

Hey, he might do it!

If you are not listening to this game,........... you are missing a duel. 7-6 Hudson Hornets finally win in the 13th inning. Jasper had a 6-3 lead going into the bottom of the 7th inning. Hudson scored 3 runs to tie after 2 outs.

Wow! Somehow I expected more from Palestine.

I was around when Walkoviak was hired. In no time at all, it was clear to everyone that he was on a whole other level than most coaches. Before his arrival, Jasper was content to contend for District once every five or so years when the talent would peak. Walkoviak changed that mindset immediately to expect to contend EVERY year. And Jasper did. I am expecting no less from Crumedy.

I feel the best about this hire than I have any other, ever. Hopefully on the Gene Walkoviak level. He already has two state track championships on his record at Manvel if I read correctly. Not to mention a good record in the Football playoffs. There is going to be some new excitement in Bulldog land!

And clearly a 500, actually I think that he brought a 600 record, just doesn't cut it in Jasper. Actually he did much better than I expected. Also think that it could have been better. Happy to see him find a landing spot.

Everyone should know the name Zack Bronson. Lead runner on the first high school 400 meter relay team to go under 40 seconds!

Didn't remember it; because I missed that! Thanks for posting. From where I sit, very few little schools (perhaps West Orange) have sent so many athletes to the NFL as Jasper. Nor so many in the High School track record books. Last time I looked Jasper still ranked in the top 10, all time, all classifications in Texas track in FIVE different running events. And the third best time ever run in the USA in the 400m relay. Not to mention sending TWO athletes to the 96 Olympic in Atlanta. Jasper athletes have a lot to be proud of.
