Barrier also played well on "Varsity".

Definitely was not his performance on JV. But there have been many players get much better into their soph-sr years. At this moment he is holding similar offers to Jett Suratt. I am anxious to see how he looks on Varsity this year.

Did I hear that Barrier picked up a D1 offer this week?

"San Antonio Christian"

That is what I thought but I figured you folks would be able to find it for sure. Was a little tougher back then with fewer teams in the playoffs.

How far did they go with Granger?

I heard Franklin had 15 that could go 7 innings.

*** Clearly those D1 colleges see it different. Their opinions are the ones that count.

He is definitely a good looking player and I have no doubt that he is going to be a good QB in the future, but I find it shocking that he has those offers. I would expect a D1/P4 player to dominate 3A JV competition and he did not (at least to the level of that caliber of recruit).

Was he the JV QB this past year?

Talent pool is on the rise. Big things coming

This should be a year for Jasper to win the district but WOS is going to be on the comeback with their young group. WOS will be back to normal next year. HF might be the top competition at the moment. Not sure about Silsbee.

He played well and had the attention of every team in the district. They will be glad to see him go

No doubt they spend a lot of time training and competing but cheerleading would not exist without football. Even the schools that don’t have football and still have cheerleading are supported institutionally by the schools that do have football. Cheerleading is part of the “football game day experience”

And also basketball and track. Basketball had losing records 6 out of the last 10 years. Everything is normal there. Volleyball has had horrible years before and so has softball. Probably should make the title: “what happened to Jasper baseball and girls basketball”

Is it going to be ready for the upcoming season? Seems like they have a ways to go.

Yep, his feelings were hurt and he wants to try and detract from what is happening now. Needs to move on.

No

I accounted for it. They made it to the 3rd round. That is not the 4th round. Make sense?

You mean “losing season success”? Yes they were very successful at having losing seasons in basketball. In the good years they were mediocre. Baseball is down. Track is the same. Football is better. The only thing that is worse than normal is baseball. I think the baseball coach is actually from the previous regime.

Not sure what you mean by "all teams had success"? Basketball is doing about like they always have, which is mediocre. Decent year then bad year like normal. (5 of the previous 8 seasons before Crumedy had losing records). Track is similar to normal. Baseball is down. One thing for certain is that they went farther than any previous team in football for the last 20 years.

They really just want top players who are the best at the particular sport for which they are being recruited.

Yep, Spring sports are fun and it is always nice to win but make no mistake, they pale in comparison to winning in football. Would be interesting to see if Spring sports have the same forum traffic as football on SETX or other platforms?

And the coaches at Rusk loved him. He would have been very successful if he had stayed at Rusk (but he would have dealt with Jett Suratt/KJ Edwards till he graduated).

No, if the football team makes deep runs and the track team stays competitive, he will have plenty of options. Have you ever watched a Gilmer basketball or baseball game?
