However, at the same time, I can't blame Coach Sloan and the folks at H-J for being po'd at now having to scramble to find a 10th game (if this game is actually off). Scheduling those games are hard enough to do as it is. West Orange-Stark had to get a charter school for its 10th game. Silsbee had to get an opponent that is still not officially a varsity team. Jasper had to schedule not 1 but 2, Louisiana charter schools to get a 10 game schedule. Bridge City, after being jilted in almost a similar manner as this, was not even able to find a 10th game. For all you and I know, this might have been Coach Sloan's only option for a 10th game. And let's remember, when this game was agreed to in February of last year, H-J was coming off a 2-8 season, a far cry from the teams in 2013 and 2014 that each went 3 rounds in the 4A, DII playoffs. That made it look far from the mismatch that it appears to be now. I agree that an HJ/BC game would be interesting on many different levels. Bridge City is playing at Jasper Sept. 29 Jasper.pdf
