Agreed. That was ugly.

I've got no beef with Pirate Nation at all. Only respect.

There's no love lost between us and the Tigers, but some of us are more vocal about it than others. I respect AAW and a couple of other contributors of theirs immensely. but it doesn't bother me that they aren't any good this year. We get a lot of crap for being reluctant to schedule them and I've been critical of that myself at times. Maybe people will start to understand what that was all about, including me.

Same here! 🤣

We always have athletes. That's not enough to get where we need to go. Never has been.

I was thinking the same thing. Having said that. we've got a lot of work to get done before those guys show up.

Oh okay. I assumed otherwise without looking it up. Thanks!

I was kinda hoping that Jasper's game wouldn't get moved up so that I could watch this one. Oh well. Maybe I'll watch the Jasper game on mute and listen to this game on KOGT.

Per JISD and KJAS- Jasper @ Rusk will be played tomorrow night at 6:30. All sub-varsity games are cancelled.

We had a "Big Spoon" for years. I'm pretty sure he coached the D-line under Gene Walkoviak, but he's better known for being arguably the best track coach in Texas. He's probably chuckling up there in heaven about being in a WO-S/Silsbee thread. He hated both schools as much as anybody. Big shout out to Coach Spoon! WO-S 30 Silsbee 10

I think we need to play really well this week to get ready for next week. I just want those guys healthy for Carthage.

Jasper doesn't have their normal numbers this year, but I'm guessing that's true with everybody. There's a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, though, and we have some depth since a few kids that would normally start on JV are playing with the varsity. We're really good when we play clean football and that's been the case most of the time so far. I expect Rusk to bring it and make this a good ball game, but I think Jasper will use its depth to wear down the Eagles in the second half. I'll go with 34-20 Bulldogs.

That says a lot about us.

The Eagles host Jasper with a 3-2 record coming into the week. Jasper is a 22-point favorite per DCTF. Rusk's schedule through this week is below. Does anyone know anything about them?

Only for two of those ten years, my friend. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so that qualifies me as a doctor. 😁

I don't know that we're good enough right now to beat PG, let alone Carthage. That's not meant to slight anyone that we've played. We haven't played a solid 4 quarters yet and we need to be perfect to beat a team like that.

Y'all give 'em hell next week. 😁

We've always had problems with Carthage. We go to Rusk next week and have the Bulldogs at home on the 16th. We have to get a lot better before that game.

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.
