Game 3 was all you would want in a “winner take all†Regional Final with a trip to Austin (okay, I know its Round Rock now) on the line.  Straight to it:

1. Congratulations to Coach Mixon and the Bulldogs.  The best team won.  The proved it during district and they proved it at Vincent-Beck.  Emphasis on the word “teamâ€.

2. Heckuva performance by LHP Justin Parsons.  Also a great performance by freshman Matt Hicks.  Both guys pitched well enough to win.

3. Huge turn around in inning # 1.  BC opens with a Bolton single followed by Dishon’s double and fails to score.  Jasper then parlays 2 BC errors to a 1-0 lead.

4. Personally, I would have gone to Stringer earlier but I understand Bryant’s though processes.  Huge hit that inning by Reagan.  Personally, I like him more as a SS than a P once he gets to Panola. 

5. The game ending play…well, that has been debated on the game thread ad nauseum.  I would have sent him all the way but I don’t get my paycheck making that decision. 

6. BC had a very talented group of players.  Dishon and Stringer, for example, were the only D-1 caliber kids outs there.  But, it takes 9 and Jasper’s 9 played better than BC’s 9.  And, to call a spade a spade, Mixon did a heckuva job coaching.   

7. Both sides played hard.  Were there errors, mistakes, etc.?  Sure but none from lack of effort.  I salute the players on both sides for how hard they played and hope that, when the memories fade, all we remember are the good things and the good performances.

So, now I root for Jasper.  They have a trip of a lifetime ahead of them.  They are already one of the great teams ever produced in SE Texas.  By this time next week, they could be like the Marines…â€the Few, The Proudâ€â€¦and state champions.  Go get ‘em, Bulldog
