Back at the beginning of the glorious 80s the Jasper Bulldogs of 1980 was "that" team.

Gave up only 63 points all season. Tied Huntsville in pre District 15-15. Next to last District game tied Beaumont Hebert 10-10 (with Hebert declared the winner via penetrations).  Only one team went to playoffs back then.

LOL.   Hebert was beat by Huntsville in playoffs, who went on to beat Paris in state title game.

I prefer it when only 2 teams went. I was ok with 3 with the district champ receiving a bye. Never been fond of 4 going to playoffs but it is what it is.

My main reason for not liking 4 is when 4 teams go out of a 4 or 5 team district. I think you should have at minimum 6 or more teams in a district if you are going to send 4. Or at least make the 4-5 team districts play each other twice for district play.

Also, I think all district champs in all classifications should host 1st round games. A little incentive to win a district title.

Actually asked the UIL about that part and they said right now the majority of 4A and below schools do not want to host in Rd 1

Maybe most of them would like to make a trip to a big time stadium an hour or so away. Personally I'd love a home playoff game. But then again our stadium is plenty big enough. Imagine a team like Belleville, with a crowd of fans traveling to a small stadium like Orangefield for Rd 1. For the bigger classifications it's not as much a problem.

Personally, I became a HUGE fan of 3 teams making playoffs when it started in 2004.  

In 2004 we lost to Kirbyville, then lost to Silsbee in last District game of the year. We were 3rd in District.

We lost to Gilmer 49-47 in State Title Game. 😢

Every now and then, during the early days of 4 teams getting in, there were districts with only 4 teams so there was that.......

I was in the 10th when the UIL allowed 2 teams.  West Brook would like to have a word with you 1 teamers.  Also, we finished 2nd during our 1st semi final run in '83

Thought 3 teams started making the playoffs in the 90s.........at least from the article I read recently.. 

 

And I still say the Jasper QB wasn't out of bounds (IYKYK)....that game is still on YouTube btw.

1998 was when all classifications sent 3 teams.

I stand corrected on the 3 teams advancing.  During that time us making playoffs was not an issue, so I got mixed up on that....APPARENTLY!   LOL.

what game are you referring to with QB out of bounds? Silsbee? 

Gilbert fumbled the ball at the goal line last play of game.

No, the game I put in bold, Gilmer game. Patton #2 was in at QB if I remember correctly.

mmmmm....Trust me I was there. This is the first I have EVER heard of controversy of Gilbert being out of bounds.

The main sketchy call was the refs saying Jordan Patton did  not cross the goal line on the 2 pt attempt to tie the game at that point.

I like the three! In 2004, the one time Jasper made it to the State Finals, they finished third in the district.

      I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure.

      WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
