They're playing really well. Utah Valley is no slouch either and that was a big win for LU last night. I'd like to see them hang with Kentucky this weekend and make a game out of that...
I think this one comes down to whoever plays better on defense. I don't expect a lot of scoring. Don't be fooled by the 27 that HJ scored last night. Half of that came in the last few minutes when Barbay went deep into the depth chart. Jasper's defense is legit. Diboll fans would agree to that.
It was 48-14 with 8 minutes left. I wouldn't read too much into the scoring in garbage time against backups. We're not where we need to be yet, though. Still too sloppy....
Final score: Jasper 51, HJ 27. Longtime Jasper announcer Art Lay didn't call the game since the beginning of the 4th quarter. Not sure what's going on there.
