Dawgs face must-win game in Orangefield

By JIMMY GALVAN Managing Editor

Jasper Newsboy

After last year's disappointing 28-21 loss to Kirbyville to open District 21-3A play, the Bulldogs came out and hosted the Orangefield Bobcats in the second game of the season.

Jasper laid a big egg in a 33-7 pasting by Orangefield over the Bulldogs in the Bone Yard.

Jasper Head Football Coach Thomas Brooks wants to remind his team of that as the Dawgs prepare for the Bobcats this week.

"Last year, players were quitting and leaving after the Orangefield game and I don't want to see that happen again," Brooks said. "I know we plan on reminding them about that game last year all week long."

This year, the Dawgs will be traveling to Orangefield to take on the Bobcats fresh off an opening district loss to Kirbyville 21-6.

Orangefield senior Jerrod Helton, 5-10, 180 starts at quarterback for the Bobcats. Helton played wide receiver last year for the Bobcats.

Other key players returning will be tight end Jeremy Granger, 6-2, 210, and running back Shea Mayo, 5-8, 165, who will assume the ball carrying duties for the Bobcats this year.

Brooks termed the Orangefield contest as a "must-win" contest for the young Bulldogs.

"We have to take care of this one first," Brooks said. "Our goal is to make the playoffs."

The Bobcats' numbers are down this year and Orangefield plays a lot of players on both sides of the ball.

"They come and they play hard and they play with a lot of pride," Brooks said. "We shouldn't expect to just walk in there, not play good and still win. We can't take a win for granted.

"We are talking about staying together as a team and working and winning the games we are supposed to win and play that last ballgame against Silsbee for something instead of just for pride.

      West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      By Bordertown · Posted

      Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.

      The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
