I agree. The kids played hard and they do have the talent to beat some teams. I have high expectations for us year in and year out just because we're always so athletic. I think that was the difference tonight as it is a lot for us.

Ahh. That was during the 10-year dark period after I left the area that I couldn't find a way to follow anything down there. I was in college in Denver at that time.

We played a little too conservative for my taste, but I'm satisfied because the defense held up all night and got the shutout. We needed to see that more than a huge night from the offense.

You guys had Surratt?!?

Final score: Jasper 35, LC-M 0.

That Smith kid (#2 - the freshman linebacker) may have played his way into the lineup. He's all over the place. Update: Limbrick just ran 92 yards for a touchdown. Jasper 28-0 with 4:03 left in the 3rd.

Little guy, but he makes a lot of plays for us.

I think so! He's having a nice game...

I think you guys will get better as the season goes on, but I'm impressed with how hard the Bears are playing. They're well coached. I'm hoping the coaches get on our kids a little bit. We're not playing as well as we should be.

Jasper leads 14-0 at halftime. The defense has played pretty well, but we've struggled some on offense. The Bears are hanging in there.

That kid has been in on a few plays already.

You too are getting way too mushy. 🤣

Having a guy like Limbrick that is durable and also a gamebreaker is a huge advantage against most teams, but the Bulldogs will need to diversify the offense some against some of the good teams in our district. Center is pretty good from what I can tell and Rusk seems to be a decent team, but we all know that Carthage is the team to beat. We've played them in the past with good teams and have gotten run off the field. That can't happen anymore. We have to be ready to play.

To me, this has been the case in Jasper for several decades. We'll occasionally have a guy go to a big D1 school, but the majority either go to SLC schools (McNeese or SFA usually) or smaller schools than those. Why is it different for us than some of the other really good smaller high schools in the area? I'm just picking your brain since you've coached and I know less about how these things work.

He came by two-a-days in '90 when I was a junior. Pretty impressive guy. I wonder what he's doing these days.

Here's the write-up that LU has on him: [Hidden Content]

I was too young to remember any of that, but UH should have absolutely recruited him. It's weird to me because at that time, the Bulldogs were pretty dang good. There are a few of those guys that should have gotten a chance to play somewhere halfway decent.

Still not sure how we're so high and why they're taking that phantom "win" over Silsbee so seriously. We're gonna have to play Carthage to within a touchdown (worst case scenario) to validate it and that doesn't seem very likely unless we get a lot better between now and then. Center plays Carthage this week, so I'll be keeping an eye on that one to see how the Roughriders stack up.

Same here. We don't go into many games expecting a long night, but that very well could be one. The kids won't be worried, but we might be covering our eyes. 🤣🤣

I think you're right. That might be the biggest key to the game for the Bears.

They haven't played anyone that throws a lot, so it's hard to evaluate that to be honest.

Fair enough. No need to get excited.

We haven't had to throw a lot, but our passing game isn't bad at all. Adams has been really solid so far, but he's definitely more of the game manager type from what I can tell. They don't feature him a lot in their play calling.

Yeah. Seale was a major college talent. He was a monster at LU, too. I remember him knocking a guy out from the Redskins on kickoff coverage when he was with the Oilers. That dude was something else.

Say it with your chest!!! 😁
