1 Team Needed for Tournament

[Jasper Baseball]

Due to team dropping out yesterday, Jasper is looking for 1 team to play in the 3rd weekend tournament, March 9-11, 2017.   Teams committed are Jasper, Bridge City, Nederland, West Orange Stark, Central Heights, Diboll and Kirbyville.  

Please contact Head Coach Stephen Westbrook at [email protected]

Geez that's a strong tournament; whoever survives that one will be fine tuned for district play that begins the next week.  Anxious to see what the first weekend Jasper tourney looks like.

First Weekend includes:

Jasper, Bridge City, WOS, Vidor, Lumberton, Livingston, Kirbyville, Hardin Jefferson, Silsbee and Beaumont West Brook.

That's a strong field as well. 2 quality tournaments at a quality facility.

Looks like I need to put in for a couple of vacation days

Looks like the new Jasper coach is scheduling quality teams not like the previous coach that wanted to build his record.

Pretty absurd statement there. Jasper played Hardin Jefferson, Bridge City, Silsbee, Kelly, Vidor, Kirbyville all in non-district play. Maybe that isn't quite as dangerous as the teams in the Jasper tournament this year but those teams mentioned are most definitely "quality" opponents.

The teams that are listed above as teams played last year are all teams that are listed in the tournament this year (except Kelly who is always a good team)

Maybe when the tournament bracket comes out and the Bulldogs are actually scheduled to play some of the new teams on there, someone could rightfully give praise a for tougher schedule than the previous year.  But at this time, there is no evidence that would make his claim have any merit what so ever.  They could conceivably play the close to the exact same people again this year.  

I once asked one of the winningest coaches in setx baseball history this question.  If you had four teams with the exact same kids from August until May, and you were the coach of one of them and had to play the other three in a round robin playoff in the first week of May, who would you least like to see coaching the other three teams.  Who could best prepare those other three teams to give them the best chance to beat you?

The guy that booster refers to as "previous coach" in his post above, made that list.

He even went as far as to say there was one part of the game that this coach was the best he had ever see at preparing his kids at, and that part alone makes his teams very dangerous.

I thought this conversation was worth mentioning.
