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.
Jasper lost a senior to a serious injury and the game has been delayed for about 15 minutes. No word on who was hurt or what the injury was, but the player was taken to a local hospital.
The teams are already coming out. I bet they're starting at 7. Jasper is dressing 60 players and HJ is at approximately 30 per the announcers. It's gonna be a rough night for the Hawks.
