How many of us looked up the definition of hegemony? My eyebrows are still twitching. What happened to dynasty, dominance, supremacy, etc? I miss the good days when I knew what all the words meant, big or small. I'm not sure if I still belong here, despite my mid major 1970s degree. We may need a "word of the day" topic to help keep us all up to speed. Just funnin.

Believe it or not? Cats had 2 passing TDs.

In the 1st half, Jasper and North had a some costly mistakes, but the cats, down 21-7, cleaned theirs up and the scored scored late in the 2nd quarter to tie. The cats D came up big the 2nd half, and North continued to make some costly mistakes. North, balancing the run with passing, ran over the cats the 1st quarter, despite a turnover. After the cats D figured out the North passing game, they also slowed their run game, and was able to put a lot of pressure on the QB. Cats D 2nd half was outstanding. Best 3 quarters cats played in a long time.

Jasper/Bosse both scored 1st possession, Jasper D stiffened up, and offense scored 3 unanswered TDs, 28-6 at halftime. They pretty much traded TDs the rest of the game. Wagner must had 300 yards! 300 yards rushing!

If my memory serves me right, in 2021 Jaspers freshman and JV lost 1 game combined in the SIAC. Anyone care to confirm this.

2nd game of the season the tailback/back up QB muffed the pitch back. Tailback pursues the ball backwards. As the tailback is leaning over the cover up the ball, defender pushes him in the back, slamming him to the turf, resulting in a season ending shoulder injury. I understand this is not a violation, should it be in high school?

Jasper can win if they can control the Tigers passing game, notice I didn’t say stop. But everybody knows that. Had one one significant contributor out (not coming back) for the Alice’s. Who knows tonite, have seen players seem healthy at the end of a game, only to see them in street clothes the next few games.

IHSAA charges fees to broadcast a game for the same reason you should buy a Buick from Dave Mason Buick, "Because ol’ Dave needs the money"

The Jasper/Tell City rivalry intensified when Gunner was at Tell City back in the early 60s, he had some very competitive teams and was highly respected. I thought that rivalry was probably more intense in football than in basketball. Some time after Gunner went to Vincennes, that rivalry intensified, and it peaked after the controversial baseball sectional final, (2005?) went to 14 innings, Jasper winning. The Tell City rivalry waned eventually, and the Vincennes rivalry isn't what it used to be. I miss the Tell City rivalry the most, it was mutual respect after the game, not so much for Vincennes. I was lucky enough to participate in and witness some amazing events. There was also an interesting story regarding the name "Gunner" came about.

Ahrens was not ousted and "reason why Tony Ahrens was ousted' is laughable.

4-5 turnovers were a huge factor, which gave NV more scoring opportunities, more TOP, and Jasper fewer. Also #32 did not dress, so he could not not spell #30, playing both ways. Don't know if we overlooked them, not a mind reader, but they played an outstanding game, deserved to win, and came out more aggressive from the start and we did not match it. It was similar to the Evansville North game, which we survived, 20-13, due to fewer turnovers, despite #32 not being available for nearly the entire game. The Huskies came out very aggressive, and I felt outplayed us most of the game. The missed holding calls were a factor, especially a "tackle" in one 50-60 yard play, and the 3-4 starters in street clothes, but good teams know these things happen to everybody and must overcome those challenges. Losing an onside kick was also significant. Giving up big plays haunted us most of the season, but we overcame them before this game. You can call all of these excuses, or simply identify the multiple factors that affected the outcome of the game and need to be improved. Going undefeated in the conference exceeded my expectations. Our coaches and players will learn from this setback, and with the freshman and JV losing only one conference game combined, I expect to compete for a conference title again soon and advance deeper in to the playoffs. Expectations are always high here.

Looks like 5 SIAC teams play non conference foes this week. May we'll start to get some sanity from Sagarin?

Great freshman game last night as the North Huskies prevail over the Jasper Wildcats 34-28 in 2 overtimes to win conference title. I believe both teams were undefeated in conference.

Sorry, I started adding the individual games stats with my best abacus, but soon realized the cost benefit ratio is to low.

Sagarin and Harrell, what would our Indiana football lives be without them? I can't imagine being without them. Much more valuable than than this website.
