HSB&Rangers Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 It really does not matter who Jasper plays, it will be a tough game. Giddings and PG have not given up hardly any runs in the playoffs. Like Jasper, most of Lubbocks losses have been to 4a-5a teams.All four teams are good. The hardest game to win will probably be the one on Wednesday. Going up against someone else's #1 is always hard. As long as Sowell can locate the fastball and has the big curve working, Jasper should be able to play with anyone.
HSB&Rangers Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 Where's your info coming from WOS?Still nothing on the UIL site and it has the two semis starting at 4 and 7.
BrenhamFan Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 It's tough to pick against giddings with those brothers....Giddings 6Jasper 4
SETXsports Broadcaster Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 The bottom of the Jasper order kicks it up a notch, and the pitching,,,,well who knows with Mixon, Jasper 7Gidding 4
SETXsports Broadcaster Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 I asked this in another thread...but is there a strenghth of schedual for baseball? It would be interesting to see how the districts matched up....I thought thoughout the season that Reg III had the strongest teams.
Speedkills Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 Jasper will win this one in a close one 8-7
HSB&Rangers Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 I am all for Jasper winning, but has anyone actually seen Giddings play, or are these just gueses. Everyone predicted that BC would beat Jasper, then everyone predicted that Orangefield would beat Jasper...maybe we should pick against them. They seem to like the underdog role.Giddings has only given up 4-or 5 runs in the playoffs. There two best pitchers are studs, plus they were in Austin last year as well.I am hoping for a Dawg win....I think if they can get thru the semis, that the finals might be an easier game.

Abliene Wylie was just too good. Jasper 10 run ruled them. LE was the defending state champs with the whole team back. Jasper nearly run ruled them too. Jasper prefers the underdog role.
Guest bleed orange Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 Jasper wins, go dogs. Hope you guys win it all. It is all about southeast texas.

Didn't quite run rule them because Abliene Wylie scored in the bottom of the inning to prolong the game. Final Jasper 11-3. Ditto for LE. Had a player drafted in Major League draft in fifth round the day that Jasper played them. Pitcher had lost only one or two games. Final Jasper 14-4. 25 runs in two days from a team that had "no chance". And in theory at least against the best 3a teams in Texas.True, Jasper may fall flat on Wednesday night. It has happened. But it is way too soon to write off the 2010 Dogs! :)
adminbaberuth Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Jasper is well prepared playing Orangefield and Bridge City, especially seeing a pitcher in Hicks category, twice. I can't see them being nervous or intimidated by any team. Let's hope they continue playing well and bring home that State Championship.

Carthage, Hudson, Crockett, and Burnet were not exactly chopped liver. (Sorry liver lovers! ;D)
RoundRock89 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Watched Carthage beat Giddings in the championship game last year. Giddings comes back with an experienced, but essentially same line-up this year. They do have a hard-throwing ace. Giddings' offense goes where the lead-off hitter takes them. Would think Giddings would have to be feeling some pressure to win this thing after the disappointment last year?... Jasper should be relaxed, patient, confident, and ready after getting through the region. If Sowell is on, and I think he will be, I like Jasper's chances.
Critter Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Jasper takes this one and the next to win state.....Region III will prove they are the best....
