Congrats to Southridge on the win. Good gamem but not the way I wanted it to go. Too much Calvert at the end. Good luck in the rest your season. I wish SR and HH would stay in the schedule, but I don't see this happening. The biggest school we play in the regular season is Boonville, everyone else is 3A. I think we need to play 5A and more 4A schools to get the feel of the tournament and better competition. At least we still a big rival game with Vincennes.

Tell that to Southridge, Heritage Hills, or Vincennes or any team in the big 8. Beating a team that has dominated you or that has a close series is the one you want. Its bragging rights. You should know that. I'm not saying Jasper is going to beat you like a drum each time but it depends on the situation. Everyone has a rival team. And I wish we could have joined the SIAC when Tell City left possibly sooner. Yeah we may only win half our games but I would rather have a close game against a good Castle or Reitz team than a Washington team you 50 points on every year. That does nothing come tournament time.

Yeah, it's tough to be 0-2 and possibly 0-5 by the time we get our 1st win. I don't feel our record is all because of the new coach. This is new system and sure our system as a whole has changed. We still have the same coaching staff minus a few, and a few of their roles have changed. I feel there is a chance we will only win 3-4 games this year. We have great kids and great community support. The past 50-60 years have been good to us, and it seems the past few years we haven't been as consistent as the past. You can't tell me there isn't a team that would root against Jasper. I see it on this thread all the time, but that just shows how well our sports programs have been. As far as Jasper ppl being quiet on the thread.. I bet before 2012 there weren't many GS ppl on here posting as there are now with you're program turning around.

I hope we can put some points up on a 1st string offense this week. It would have been 70 to nothing had Memorial kept their starters in. Hopefully with a loss like last week and this being the last meeting with SR we can put something together. I know SR has their woes too with a new QB and some turners against Linton, but they were still able to battle back to win. Should be a good game.

I know this is a about a week later, but I did get a chance to watch the scrimmage against Ev. North. Jasper D looked decent. We held our own. They did a lot of slants which was a majority of their big plays. Offensively, we didn't look sharp, a few bad snaps here and there. Looked like more of a spread offense with the option ran a few times. Had most of our success with runs.
