Interesting news regarding Jasper and Newton

[AggiesAreWe]

Jasper has dropped Newton from their football schedule for next year. Newton is now looking for a week 3 opponent, Sept. 8

Not sure what the reason for Jasper to do this in the middle of a realignment but one has to think it could stem from the recent shooting.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I'm not surprised.

it does. I think it is a smart/responsible  thing to do. Them not being on schedule won't change one bit how our season goes.

Just got word that both schools superintendents agreed to remove each other from their schedules. This was solely based on the recent incident.

Lucky for both of them Louisiana schools are filling out their schedule now and both not far from the border time to reach out and make calls to the other side of the Sabine.

That's strange seeing as they switched their realignment years over to even numbered years to match Texas.  They can switch their non-district schedule every year now too?

They may graduate from TDC in about25 years.

La schools are on same rotation as Texas. Contracts were signed for two years. Only way to change for next season is if both teams agree to cancel the contract.

I was curious if any of those guys were players on the team. Horrible situation for two proud communities.

Both teams agreed to drop the game. Yes it was because of the shooting. There was threats made that Jasper was going to retaliate during newton graduation. Newton moved their graduation to their gymnasium and we had extra police at graduation. 
it is a shame that a few kids can mess it up for everybody else.

We scrimmage those guys. Our 2nd scrimmage. I believe it's here in PA again this season. I think they still have that stud WR and offensive lineman there.

 

Stepp would know more though.
