Yikes.

Andre Thomas scores on a 6 yard run. PAT is good. Jasper 36-8 with 1:44 left in the 1st. Carl Limbrick is already over 100 yards.

Newton turns the ball over again (3rd time in 1st quarter).

Limbrick scores his 4th TD of the first quarter. 29-8 after 2-point conversion.

Very fast start. Newton only dressed 27 players from what I heard. Jasper's deeper and it looks like they're gonna score all they want.

It's easy to blame the officials at the end of that game, but we never should have gotten so far behind. Those Dawgs had some heart and a bunch of good players. I watched the Gilmer feed of that game on YouTube about a year ago and they were talking about blowing us out for a good chunk of the game, but they were amazed with how we outplayed the Buckeyes in the second half.

I was hoping we'd do a little better than that, but it's a good coaching tool for those kids. They'll get better...

All I can tell you is that our JV squad is fast based on what I saw in the scrimmage that was webcast a few weeks ago. I don't know anything about your Hornets, but hopefully they'll play well and it will be a good game.

They were pretty cocky, even when they were terrible. We went down there in '89 with a pretty good group and beat them 82-0 and they were still jawing all night long.

I expect this to be a good defensive game. We played a slobber knocker against a very good Diboll team last year on a short week and lost 14-9. Jasper should play better this time around, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the score is similar to that game.

Didn't see this coming at all, especially after reading yesterday that Jasper wouldn't have a game this week. Nice work by both coaches to get this done on the fly! I'll take the Dawgs by 1. Should be a great one.

Just saw on KJAS that Jasper won't have a game this week. I know that they have added @ LC-M into their bye week slot (per Coach Barbay last week), so as of now they'll have a 9-game schedule.

That's surprising.

That makes sense. I'm really impressed with the Tigers and how they took a punch in the mouth from us and came right back. That's a great coaching point for both teams.

Coach Barbay is supposedly looking for someone to play after his week's game with WO-S was called off. Are there any updates on that?

They have Jasper as 0-0, but they show a 20-14 score and a win right next to it on the site. I don't agree with what they did here. Jasper shouldn't be in the top 10 and Silsbee shouldn't have dropped out of it. The game didn't count and shouldn't have influenced the rankings. Hopefully, we'll justify what they did by playing better than we did in the game last week. #6 is too high.

I HOPE so. I don't disrespect any opponent, even if we're not supposed to like them.

Nobody knows. I even said that.

We all need to grow up and quit speculating about what would have happened had the game been allowed to continue. Nobody knows any of that because it didn't happen. Silsbee deserves respect because they took our shot early and figured out how to get back in the game. Jasper is going to give opponents fits if they can play a little smarter and limit turnovers. Both of these teams are going to win a lot of games this year. Hopefully, we'll see you guys in November.

I'm not sure what the UIL rules are in this situation. Is it really going to count since they didn't get to halftime? I'll take it either way, but Silsbee had Uncle Mo on their side at the end. Playing it out could have gone either way.

Pretty cool!

My family was friends with the DuBoses while we were there. Small world. lol

That sounds like a lot of fun.

Could very well go that way. We have a new kicker this year that doesn't seem to have the same leg that the last few have had.

Can't wait for this one. I'll take Jasper 28-27 in a classic.
