Baloney. Argue that BC gave the regional title to Jasper if you wish. That is just an opinion. But BC did NOT "give" the state title to Jasper. No way. Jasper went to Roundrock and did what BC failed to do the year before. Beat Liberty-Eylau, as well as Abilene Wylie. BC made not one play for Jasper. Jasper did their own playing. True, BC obviously is playing with a lot more focus this year and may well succeed. They are a very tough opponent. But Jasper's season is not yet over, and this adversity may prove to be the best thing that could have happened to them. Certainly, Jasper has had its wake-up call. We will see Friday night how they respond to the call.

Or a tie for second. If BC beats HJ, HJ slips to 4 losses, same as the Silsbee, Jasper winner. And since both split with HJ head to head, it seems there would be a tie for second ?

It is looking like BC and HJ for sure. The other spot will be be decided Friday night between Jasper and Silsbee if both teams win their last game.

Thank you. We will need more than luck. Jasper must get their act together. They had more than a seasons worth of errors and strange plays tonight. But, if they can win out these last two games, they will be in the playoffs. Their fate is still in their own hands.

Congratulations HJ, it was your night all the way. Good luck in the playoffs.

hj has winning run on first, nobody out.

HJ 10-1, to botom of sixth.

Several things tonight. One, Hart is not playing, I have no idea why not. Have had OF errors, and mis-judgements. Errors in the infield. Jasper announcer said this is the worst game he has seen Jasper play in years. I just hope they are getting it all out of their system tonight. And Hj has made some outstanding plays. Just not Jasper's night. HJ 10-1, to sixth, two away.

Derrick Sowell in to pitch for Jasper. Soph lefty. Second varsity game.

8-1 hj, to bottom of fifth

2 diving catches by hj, two out.

8-1 hj, to top of fifth.

8-1 hj, one out and a jillion errors, bases loaded. Wheels have come off for Jasper.

Jasper left 2 runners on base, to bottom of fourth. HJ 5-1

Jasper changes pitchers. Cord Yates gets the third out on strike out. To top of fourth.

base hit by third, hj leads 5-1

bases loaded, on intentional walk, then regular walk.

In the bottom of the third, one out, HJ has scored three runs on a single and 3 doubles. Fly out, now 2 out.

Parsons strikes out the side, to the top of the third.

it is always a great time for a Jasper boomer. but it did not happen this time. Still Jasper 1-0, middle of second. Jasper left the bases loaded, all on walks.

Jasper 1-0, end of one.

Jasper 1-0, middle of first. Monse pitching for Hj, Parsons for Jasper.

Jasper winning is not a given, but the playoff experience from last year should now begin to kick in. In fact, I think it did last night, Jasper winning 19-2 in just 4 innings at bat. Yeah i dont know how they would have beat WOS without that playoff experience! Jasper most likely would have won, but they might not have averaged almost 5 runs an inning. You got me, your right you have to make the playoffs to score 5 runs an inning. I'm sorry for not knowing that but now that I do the next time a team scores 19 runs I will know that they have playoff experience. Please don't get mad about this post i'm joking with you Anyways...i'll say Jasper 3 HJ 5 I'm not mad about your post, but it did seem like a putdown to WOS. And I like my WOS friends. And 3 may be too many for Jasper. I will say Jasper wins 2-1 again.

Didn't take it as a knock. It was a true observation, except for the triple. And for that I was just poking a bit of fun. QF is the quarterfinals. Last year BC and Jasper. Beck Field. My only point was that he was not bunting last year because that was all he could do, but rather that bunting was part of the coaching strategy last year. This year there is a different mix of players and that strategy apparently has been modified to fit this years players. A footnote, in Bronson's last at bat against Hicks, we Jasper fans thought he had put another one out to tie the game, but it turned out to be a very high, pretty deep fly out to left field. But we surely had our hopes for a moment. You never know when he just might put it out of the park. That is why tomorrow night HJ should just walk him every time. That is what HF did after he mashed two balls out of the park. Then the next Jasper batter hit a two run double.

Day 1 eh? Someone get this guy a prize...maybe a treat...like a cookie! 8) we could probably have it arranged to get him a juice box from the softball board. ;D no, no prizes until BC is playing in RoundRock. ;D
