I know Gilmer isn't far from DFW, but that's a long ride home. 

No doubt. Anybody wanna argue about how ANY other 4A-D2 team in the state had a chance? 😎

Because the blueprint consists of having players no one else has. 

Well, that and superior coaching, facilities, a supportive community and culture among other things.

Yep. It takes a lot more than just great players to get it done. We've had our share of those in Jasper, but one of these other components is always missing.

Congrats to the Bulldogs on another state title

I completely agree.  I think Jasper has been on the cusp a few times the last couple of years with like you said, at least one of those components missing.

Congrats to Gilmer on a awesome season. Maybe next year.

[BMTSoulja1]

Congrats to the 4a Boogieman, Carthage Bulldawgs on winning the title.  I'm sure everyone knew this was going to happen even before the season began.

You can probably pencil them in for next year, too. There will be a few contenders and I hope we're one of them, but it's hard to imagine much drop-off from them.

Don't you know the Gatesville folks are sick right now.

Center is in the same district, so when I saw Carthage had drop down to Div. II after winning state in Div. I, I'm like "well hell, just go ahead and hand them the district and state title." Crazy good.

100% agreed.  But I have no hesitation in saying Carthage could go 3-4 rounds deep in 5A-DII.  If in Region 3, once they ran into teams that could play tough D like Huntsville, then they may get bounced.

Agreed! I think they could definitely go a few rounds in 5A D2

Heard after the game the QB Kai Horten, and RB Mason Courtney, both signed with Tulane.   Best friends getting to play at the next level.   And ironically, Mason had 243 yds rushing & Horten had 243 yds passing.

Those are good gets for the Green Wave. Those guys will lead that team at some point.

If you people think coaching is keeping Jasper from the stata championship you are idiots!

What do you think it is? Nobody pointed specifically to coaching....

[BMTSoulja1]

That’s right.  We names a few things that Carthage has that many teams including Jasper does not have.  We didn’t specifically point at coaching at Jasper...
