What happened? I really thought they had this one in the bag.

Navasota went from a 3 man front to a 5 man front and put Pratt in at safety.  Jasper's offense couldn't adjust to the changes.  That and a mix of turnovers on kickoffs spelled doom for the Dogs.  The tide changed and Jasper couldn't recover.  Rattlers were a hard hitting bunch and deserved the win.  They played a good game and made the right adjustments.

Congrats to Jasper on a great season! Navasota just matched up so much better with your teams skilled people and I think I said this last Saturday! But you have nothing to be ashamed of, you came from where you were at last year to lots of respect this one!

Man, this one hurts... i had to leave, and when i did, jasper was starting to pull away.  just goes to show that a game isn't over until it's over.  Keep your heads up, though, ya'll had a great season!

[Guest Indian Chief]

Great season Jasper.

Does anyone call into question the play calling in the second half?  For some reason Jasper kept the ball on the ground the 1st half and had success.  Yet when the second half came Jasper went to the air after trying to run a few times. I just feel like Jasper should have tried to manage the clock better...

Yes they did seem to commit to the pass when they saw the new scheme.  It obviously didn't work.  I commented that it looked as if we were the team that was 3 TDs behind.

They thought he should pass when Pratt like to have knocked Bailey's head off on the opening drive of the 2nd half.

[AstrosDawg07]

I just don't know if Jasper's starting qb is the passer we needed to go with if we were going to pass the ball. 

[jasper forever 07]

i was at the game and it was a horrible second half, we have been horrible in the second half all year, examples are the west orange and silsbee games  ???

someone tell me why

[KFDM COOP]

Jasper made a huge turnaround from last year under Coach Brooks. You guys will be even better next year!

[Lefty99]

Had a great season Dogs!  Coach Brooks and the Dogs will be a really tough team next year!

[setxguru]
