BU is trying to catch up with Jasper on false starts now. Now BU stops the clock for Jasper.

Thanks, they obviously have a better view. This is one of those games where if you see the last 6 or 7 minutes, then you've seen the whole game.

74 yd TD pass, #10 to either #3 or #5, it wasn't clear. 14-10 BU.

Wow!!!

So that's what that was. They're trading penalties, illegal motion(s) vs USC(s). This is hard to watch, but at least it's a close game.

Pretty hard to watch for BU fans, or anybody. Not to take anything away from Jasper's defense, they did their job, but that was some bad play calling right there.

Unbelievable. BU has 1st and goal from the 2 yard line and doesn't score.

I'm watching on the Jasper station's site, KJAS I think. To quote the announcers, "there's a whole lot of lollygagging going on tonight". BU's QB #10 has much less zip on his passes tonight, but he's hanging in there. BU's #1 is running hard. Jaspers #19 runs hard also, but he's not getting the ball enough. The rest of the game so far is pretty slow. Obviously some good athletes out there, but the game is just slow. Overthrown passes, receivers out of bounds, a few penalties, etc. 1:04 left in the 1st half. Jasper is up 7-0.

FBM hasn't been the same since two seasons ago, after the QB and the 7 or 8 D1 defensive players graduated, especially the big DE. Last season the coach spoke about his very young team; and I was thinking they'd give a better showing for RR. But RR finished last season pretty strong I think, even while being eliminated in one of the later playoff rounds. Looks like they're making a statement this season.

Anyone watching this game? What's the score?

What a tragedy, and what a loss. None of the reaction buttons seem appropriate; it feels odd to select "like", or any of the others.

Sure there is, just by simple default. But the remainder of Rez' paragraph is correct. If A > B and B > C, then A > C, except on any given night in high school football.

I Googled SLC. They appear to be a team of ~ 70 players with ~16 freshmen and ~15 seniors, and the rest are everything in between. They appear to be a private school similar to Beaumont Kelly? I wonder why they don't try to schedule Kelly rather than OF? Either way, they may be a bit overmatched, but they'll likely give a good effort.

I hope the kid, and whatever the situation is, turns out ok. Back in the 70s I saw a kid get suspended, for setting off either a firecracker or a smoke bomb, then get unsuspended so he could play in a game, then afterward get suspended again. Anyway ... hope all turns out well.

That's not too bad of a score prediction, but I hope it's a closer game than that score indicates.

I haven't seen Jasper, and I've only seen BU against PNG. Without trying to recall any specifics, they seemed to make one mistake after another in the PNG game, and were over matched, but the QB has a decent arm and the receivers get open. Maybe they'll get it together this week.

So is Nederland, basically.

Yeah, thank goodness for NDN Press. Last season folks in the comments would ask for the camera to show the cheerleaders and band more, and I notice that this season after pretty much every play the camera goes to the band and cheerleaders, darn near missing the next play. Gets aggravating after a while, but still, I'm glad they're doing the games, and I enjoy watching them whenever I can't be at the game.

I agree with all of the above, and would also say that Montgomery may be one to watch.

I was sort of surprised, but relieved, that LP chose to punt on 4th down with ~ 5 mins-or-so remaining in the game. PNG's last big TD run afterward sealed it.

If I remember right, LP's #3 scored all 35 of LP's 35 points. But it wasn't a one man show, entirely. There were a few key passes and some scrambling by the LP QB. Big O-Line. An aside ... there sure seems to be a lot of area teams with big O-lines this season. Hopefully PNG inside LB #43 will be able to play when district play begins. He's a 3rd year starter, a leader, and they need him. Not to take anything away from the inside LBs tonight, they played hard but are still improving. The PNG offense really stepped up and found their game tonight, and PNG sure needed it.

Silsbee by 7. I agree with what everyone's saying, expecting a closer game than last season.

Simply incredible. Ned stole that game.

told ya

Watch for that same little fake to #1, and bootleg.
