Jasper vs. Bellville - Area Round

[Bulldogs92]

The winner of this game gets the winner of the WOS/Sweeny game. I objectively believe that Jasper is the favorite in Region 3 to at least make the state semifinals as it's the deepest Bulldog team in a very long time. I'll start this thread by taking Jasper by 21.

Where will this be played?

That rematch is what I’m looking forward too, and if/when it happens i hope I can make it!

Well all we can do is show up and play ball. We are a pretty young team but throughout the year have played well in instances. I’ve said it most of the year that I thought Jasper was the region favorite. I’d say Jasper is definitely a 3-4 score favorite

I was there when they played in 1959.  Belleville had UT running back Ernie Koy and was favored.  Think Jasper put a pretty good whooping on them that night.

Bellville is scrappy I’ll say that. We are gonna try and control time of possession the best we can to keep Jaspers offense off the field. The future is looking bright. A few of our key players are freshmen and sophomores. One of our best RBs/Athletes hasn’t got to play all year due to a injury suffered before the season started and he also is a sophomore. So losing to this really good Jasper team isn’t the end of the world. But they will give it hell lol

I wondered how long it would take someone to mention Ernie Koy, Jr.  I posted this over on the Downlow several days ago and amazingly no one from Bellville even responded about Koy.:

Hey, where's the interest in this thread? Pulling for Bellville. If Bellville and Jasper both win this week, it will set up a rematch so that Bellville will have a chance to get even for 1959. Joe Ed Lynn starred for Bellville at RB in that game, and went on to star for Sam Houston State. Anyone remember the name of Bellville's other running back?

If I remember correctly Koy went on to play for the NY Giants.  The score by the way was Jasper 41-6 in spite of Jasper being an overwhelming underDog.  Trivia.  Jasper was a Cinderella team in 1959.  Lost 4 out of first five games, then won district.  I read a post a while back that Koy Sr (who I understand also played in the NFL) went into the Jasper locker room after the game and told the Jasper players something to the effect that Jasper was the toughest, hardest hitting team Bellville had played all year.  The next week Jasper lost to eventual state champion Brady in a game played in Temple.  Brady also had a superstar named Scot Appleton who also went on to play for Texas, and then the Houston Oilers.  Incredibly by sheer chance I met Scot Appleton in San Antonio years later, long after his NFL days were over.  He told me exactly the same thing, that Jasper was the hardest hitting team that they had played all year including the state championship game.

If that rematch comes it needs to be played in Lumberton.

I see Jasper winning by a couple of scores. I am interested in seeing them play against an above average team though. They are a good ball club and very well coached. We shall see when tougher opponents come in the next few weeks, but I am rooting for them! Could someone tell me who Jasper and WOS will draw in the 3rd rown (being that both make it)?

They would play each other.

Another viewpoint.  Jasper's strength of schedule does appear to be weak.  But I just noticed that at least two of Jasper's "victims" are still playing football.  WOS and Lumberton.

I don't always buy into the weak schedule discussion. I think Jasper is too solid on both sides of the ball to not show up against really good teams.

Jasper played WOS, and I would consider WOS an above average team.  I think they played in the state finals the past four years.  Winning twice??  Sleep on WOS and you will be sitting at home the next week.

Well as expected in the Pickems everyone picked Jasper... as did I lol Hoping for a upset today but mainly no injuries for either team
