Good job Silsbee.

Way to go Dogs! Picking up where you left off in Austin last year.

way 2 go OF !!!

On to baseball, to see if Jasper can do better there.

Congratulations OF. Your players really stepped it up tonight. Good luck against Coldspring!

If D Bailey is not at full speed, Spoon will get the job done! Wow, where is Jasper getting these guys? Now when they figure out how to grow em taller, ............ Go Dogs! It is time to get back into the basketball playoffs. Jasper by five.

Is Bailey an 18 year old sophmore? I heard Jasper had to get a waiver for him to play sports this year. Is there any truth to this? If so, will he be eligible to play sports next year? Great athlete by the way. This may explain why it's hard to believe he is a sophmore; him being eligible to vote and buy tobacco and all. This is an interesting story. It is the first I ever heard of this. All I know is that he played varsity last year as a freshman. Seems odd that he could "grow up" so fast. Congratulations OF on the big win. Wish I could be at the playoff game Friday.

I don't know anything about this early out story, but contrary to what it appears, Dominque is only a sophmore. He only plays like a senior.

That is not a run away!!!!!! now with Bailey out, that would be a runaway! I would be very, very happy with a one point win.

That is bad news of course. But Jasper does seem to have a lot of depth as far as speed is concerned. Play over your heads Dogs, and make the playoffs!

Prediction. Jasper puts on the track shoes, and runs away with the win. Jasper wins by five.

Jasper won without OT? Frankly, this game scared me! Now on to OF! Run dogs, run. Turn them loose!

I like the way Coach Brooks schedules. It'll be interesting to see how good the Dogs are after those five games. There are no gimmes in there...that's for sure. Week 2 might be considered almost a gimme.

Congrats HJ. Sorry OF, another close loss. Hey, HJ will be ready for the playoffs.

Impressive Silsbee! Congratulations. What Jasper was doing was saving all those points for OF. On Feb 12, Jasper is going to turn those dogs loose!!!!!

It will be a good game. I hope I can be there.

Very true. I met one of the Liberty-Eylau parents before the state game and she said that LE had not been challenged all year except for maybe one playoff game. We all saw what happened when Jasper applied the good ole SE Texas pressure. I think a big part of the credit should go to the district teams that applied plenty of pressure to Jasper.

REDHORSE ?? Can you please fill us in on the inside joke??

We'll soon see. Jasper has really been coming on lately. Of course, several of the Jasper players had to play catchup in BB after the playoff run in football. I think it is fair to say they now have their basketball legs. I saw them for the first time Tuesday, and I left shaking my head wondering how Bailey did some of the things he did. All I can say, he is just a little MJ.

Congrats OF. You had to work for this one. It looks like it may come down to the final game, on Feb 12th, OF at Jasper.

loose? we are gonna turn the dogs loose tonite! ;D yes yall did "turn the dogs loose"....but your dogs just were not good enough....great game silsbee.....#10 and #5 are fabulous from anywhere on the court.... I saw #5 Bailey play basketball for the first time Tuesday night. He was so accurate, I wondered why he bothered moving the ball downcourt. He hit one shot barely past mid-court. And that is to say nothing about his speed and quickness. I think that if Jasper can just get into the playoffs from this very tough district, they may surprise some folks with a few playoff upsets.

110 to 50 silsbee

HJ wins 87-80 Congratulations HJ. And congratulations to Jasper for playing much better than anyone expected.
