Congratulations to the Jasper Bulldogs. I will have to say that I'm not surprised by their victory, I felt that they would prove to be the stronger team. Next week could be the game that decides the district title.
I, for one wish that Newton's pre-district schedule had been tougher. The new 4a district here in southeast texas only allows for one non-district contest which pretty much left some of those teams off of the Eagle's schedule. The only benefit that I can see with playing an easy schedule is the repetitions and letting younger players gain experience.
I remember the Newton/Jasper game last year and I don't think that our boys had played in a game that close (down by one touchdown at the half)when they came out for the second half they had no bounce in their step and within 5 minutes of the third quarter, the Bulldogs scored twice which pretty much sealed the deal.
Hope it is an injury free game with my Eagles coming out on top this year. It should be a more evenly matched game this go 'round.
