Jasper vs. K-Ville This Week

[mechanic]

This week is the rivalry Jasper Vs. Kirbyville. This game will be played for Mr. T, our mascot who was run over this morning aledgedly by members of the Kirbyville football team. :( I am looking forward to this particular game. Kirbyville, you better bring the heat, cause if not, your gonna get burned! :mad:

Jasper vs. Kirbyville is not what I would call a rivalry. JMHO

[Backwoods]

Are you serious about your mascot? Details?

[mechanic]

true, jasper and kirbyville are not as much of rivals as jasper and newton, but still an exciting game none the less.

[Bulldog92]

I don't really consider Jasper and Newton anything more than friendly rivals if anything at all. Most Jasper posters on here would agree. The thought of Kirbyville being a rival is even more far-fetched. Jasper's true rivals will hopefully drop to 3A next year: WOS and Silsbee.

[j_dog]

I think it is a rivalry between Jasper and Kirbyville. It is just that most of you are too young to either know or remember that they used to play regularly. Ditto for teams like Newton, Woodville, and even San Augustine.

I expect a great game Friday night. Kirbyville will come ready to play, the Dogs will be ready, and there will be some bone crushing. But, at the end, I think the Dogs will prevail by at least a TD. :)

Those were great rivals, too...

LOL

[JasperDog94]

Hebert...now that brings back some memories. Most of them bad. :confused:

[Backwoods]

Well Bulldog92, I regret that Newton doesn't meet your standards as a rival. I realize that Jasper is one of the largest 3A schools, and Newton is one of the smallest. Sort of David and Goliath and they won't let David use a rock. We'll try to be a decent opponent for you. Please don't embarass us. Show up. Oh yeah. The last time we played in Newton, you were 4A. What happened then> :rolleyes:

[Wildcat81]

K-ville and Jasper rivals not really,K-ville and Newton or more rivals.

[spiveyrat]

I don't consider Newton nor K-ville rivals YET either because we don't have the history of playing those teams year after year like we do other teams like Silsbee, Bridge City, WOS, LCM, etc. This is only the second year we've been in 3A. To be honest, Strake Jesuit and Smiley are more rivals to Jasper than Newton & K-ville. That said, I think it's stupid to get all wrapped around the axle about the definition of the word "rival".

[spiveyrat]

Backwoods:
Oh yeah. The last time we played in Newton, you were 4A. What happened then> :rolleyes: Does that mean Newton has to play Jasper in Newton to beat them?

[easttexan1]

Jasper and Kirbyville used to be the greatest of rivals, then it was Silsbee, then West Orange, now Newton. Great players and great coaches make great teams, great teams make great rivals, and great rivals make great games!!! Let's Play Ball.

LOLGee, you are a youngun! Actually, I may be ALMOST as old as OC. Trust me, Jasper played those teams,although I admit it was a LONG, LONG time ago. As an aside, one of the last times Jasper played Kirbyville, Jasper lost a player due to a tragedy. The Jasper player made a tackle, reportedly with his head too low. It broke his neck, and he died the next day. It was nobody's fault, it just happened. But, yes there is certainly a history with Kirbyville and the surrounding schools. Ask some of the really oldtimers around town. They will surely remember.

Anyway, that is all irrelevant to the present. It will only take a year of so to reestablish the rivalries. Now, the REAL rivalry of Jasper's is with Silsbee. I looked it up once. I can't remember for certain how many years, but I think it has been some 60 or more years that Jasper and Silsbee have played EVERY year. Now, that is a rivalry in my books.

[crimson blood]

j_dog, i remember that story from my childhood. way back when the school was located in the building that now houses the jr hi. the player's shoe was apparently on display in the trophy case, or so we were told.
[there was a cleat there]. legend was that it was heard walking the halls at night. even went up to the doors late one night with some friends to listen. :(
that may have been the most frightened i have ever been. eek!

[j_dog]

I didn't know about the shoe, but that was a tough year for the Dogs. That happened almost exactly one year after they lost another player to heat exhaustion during practice before they even played the first game. Two deaths in some 13 months were devastating to the Jasper program. It didn't immediately affect the high school level program so much, but mothers yanked their junior high players from the program right and left. When those kids would have been playing in high school, the program really took a nose-dive. If you look back over the won-lost records for the '60's you will see the effect very dramatically. It took years to recover the confidence and success that Jasper historically had enjoyed. So, here's hoping that there are no serious injuries for all Texas teams this year.

But when they moved the high school to its current place they put the shoe in the trophy case in the lobby of the gym I dont know where it is now. I also remember the stories of the shoe walking the halls. What I didnt know was that this happened in a Kirbyville game.

But do any of you remember the story of trying to cross the 50 yard line at midnight of homecoming. Legend has it if you try this something or someone will trip you as you cross the 50. We had lots of fun with this one when we were in school!!

Jasper won the district game and WOS won the playoff game and won state that year. :mad: That's when the spray painting of buses started. And the vandalism of school property. eek! Unfortunately, now that WOS is in a 9 team district, they don't want another tough game before district starts. Man, I used to love to hate those guys. :D

[crimson blood]

spivey, jdog, i would love to know where the shoe is now. i remember in the early 70's it was in the case across the hall from the asssistant principal [i spent a lot of time there] eek!

i did not know of the 2nd death :( (heat stroke). does anyone know the names of these kids? are their families still in the region?

I guess playing Bay City is a lot easier game than playing Jasper. That is probably why they did not schedule the Dogs.[/QB]The Jasper/WOS game took a lot of emotion out of the players. This was always "The Big Game" when we were in the same district. Both teams usually suffered an "emotional let-down" the following week. That's why we no longer play them.

Prediction

Kirbyville - 20

Jasper - 14

[OLDREF]

To bad Jasper and WOS are not playing. That sure brings back about 1 or 2 good memories for the bulldogs. They had better enjoy a rivalry game with Kirbyville because the stangs aint no rivalry the dogs want to remember.

[JasperDog94]

WOS did get the better of us most of the time. :( But the most recent games, Jasper kicked the stuffing out of them. I was working the chains at one game and I loved every minute of it. Dan Hooks couldn't do anything to stop Jasper. I think the final was 42-0 or 42-7. Something along those lines. It was a major butt-kicking. That's the last I think Jasper saw of ol' Danny boy. :D :D :D

[OLDREF]

Watch out Kirbyville, the DOGS beat SMILEY, SILSBEE, and NAC that has a combined record of 1. I'll say it again and neither one of these 2 teams are great. I think it is going to be an even game. Orangefield would spank either one of them.

[BiG_ReD]

I'm still in high school, and personally the biggest game this season is the Jasper vs. Newton game. Not only that, our school is taking donations for Mr. T, our beloved mascot who was run over Monday morning. He has a broken pelvis and a concussion, and hopefully with money, and the support of our town, Mr. T will be at the Newton game, as well as games after that.

The 2003 Dogs are not quite as explosive as the ones from last year. I wouldn't go counting out the Wildcats just yet. Good Luck on Friday.

Spivey Rat & all you others Greetings, been a while, lets all dispense with the niceities jasper wants to and will beat Kirbyville, and Newton thinks they have already got the game won. Wrong Newton we are coming to your house this year and taking all those purple feathers home with us. Hope it is a safe game and with that said from JHS and it`s backers, Don`t sing it just bring it and Hope you can bring enough:) :) :D :p

[spiveyrat]

Hey mechanic! Where ya been?

[sphinx1906]

OLDREF, put the pipe down and back away. Those drugs your smoking are messing with your mind. Orangefield doesn't want any of Jasper, Newton, Kirbyville, Diboll, or even Woodville. The best game in 2003 would be Orangefield and Huntington.

[KvilleWildcats60]

I agree Sphinx.

[sphinx1906]

I really don't care to watch either of the two, because I see little talent on either side of the football.

[JasperDog94]

I hope OLDREF isn't going to be refing the game tomorrow night. :p I hear that it takes awhile for the drugs to leave your system. eek! :D

[booger1]

Dang sphinx, you even through in Woodville! Orangefiled must be pretty bad! eek!

[OLDREF]

I will not be a REF at Jasper. Everyone missed my point. The point is that district 20 AAA is supposed to be great and none of them has played anyone worth a darn. That is including Newton who beat BC who Orangefield beat. Which means they are all unproven and each team will have to play on its own merrit. Because on any given FRIDAY anyone can win if they want it bad enough. Except maybe Huntington.

i heard a rumor today in jasper that some of their players was having book learning trouble and might not be able to play ::: no names tho

[j_dog]

Wildcat81:
you all taking the cats lightly. I wouldn't! They are getting all psyhic up for Friday night.they'er coming to play ball.Ya'll be ready.Some guys may be teasing a little, but I don't think anyone in Jasper is taking Kirbyville lightly. I think it is a wonderful opportunity that Jasper finally gets to play an undefeated team again. The Dogs will be ready. And, most likely, they will have the opportunity to play another undefeated team next week. That is exactly what Jasper now needs, some good challenges. Good luck to all teams, and GO DOG's !!!

[Backwoods]

Good luck to the Dawgs and Kats. But somebody's got to win it. LOL. Keep safe. Give Mr.T my best. :p

Well, they had better not, or heads will roll. :D

And have the grading deadlines changed? Last year, it was the Newton game that the grades affected, not the Kirbyville game. frown

[southern_thunder]

Jasper started school a week earlier this year so the grading schedule did change but there is no one inelgible.

[JasperDog94]

Don't believe half of what you hear...

[rootin_for_my_BOYS]

Good luck to K-ville !!

[sphinx1906]

You can say what you want about spelling CAT, but I bet they can RUN the S.C.A.T.! When did the english language adopt DAWG as a real word?

[southern_thunder]

When Copperas Cove put it on the front of their Jerseys.

[sphinx1906]

I didn't know Mr. Webster was from copperas cove.

[southern_thunder]

He moved there about 10 years ago.

[sphinx1906]

LOL, That was a good one. I thought that he did move there but I wanted to see if you were on your P's and Q's. Good luck this week

[southern_thunder]

Thanks, I just hope both teams play well and are injury free. Regardless of turn out I would like district 20-3A to be well reprsented and go deep in the playoffs. And to do that you have to be healthy.

Man this is for the newton hater, thats envying the Jasper Bulldogs, 99% of rumors you hear is false. But Dont let the person you heard having trouble in their books, run you over. eek! eek!

[cooter05]

I believe Kirbyville will win this contest. I was there at the game last year when Jasper had their best team in the last 15 years and only won 14-0. Kirbyville gave them all they wanted and more. After losing 30+ seniors and two All-Americans you think they would realize that they aint the Jasper of last year. Face it. Ya'll are good for at least two chokes a year and this will be one of them.

Kirbyville 26
Jasper 13

Kirbyville is more talanted, disciplined and better coached.

Thanks for your confidence Matthew but it will not be that close Jasper wins big.

[Compudyne]

southern_thunder:
Thanks for your confidence Matthew but it will not be that close Jasper wins big.Thunder, I do not understand your thoughts behind your comments. What in the world would make you think that Jasper is going to win big. Jasper lost almost everything they had on offense and defense. Kirbyville has 9 starters back on Defense from a team that allowed Jasper only 14 points last year. Are you telling me that Jasper is that much better on offense this year or that Kirbyville's returning letterman are not as good as they were before. I am just trying to figure out your thinking.

[southern_thunder]

There is nothing to figure out. This years Jasper team is not last years team, maybe it does not have as much individual talent but they play together better as a team. As for last years game it was more Jasper holding itself to 14 points. The starting QB only played about 3 plays and one of them was a touchdown pass, there were numerous turnovers and other offensive breakdowns. But enough about last year it is in the past. As for my reasoning of predicting a big win it is based soley on a gut feeling, nothing else. I maybe wrong, and then again I maybe right that is why we play the game.
One thing for sure come 10:30 tonite we should know if I was right or not.

[Compudyne]

Thanks for the information. I did not realize that Jaspers Quarteback only played 3 plays last year.

[southern_thunder]

He had a strained back and sprained ankle and did not play against Strake, Smiley and just a few plays against Kirbyville, so that he could play against Newton.

[Compudyne]

I was at the game last year and I am pretty sure he played more than 3 plays. That is interesting that he HAD to play in order for Jasper to score on Kirbyville. I am glad that yall are playing better as a team this year. Those guys are so much more fun to watch than all those individuals. Good Luck tonight.

[cooter05]

Wrong! Mitchell did not start the game because of the injury, but they had to put him in because they were in for a surprise. They expected a walkover last year and were lucky for a win. (Good thing Kirbyville fumbled in the end zone going in to score). But Mitchell did play. If Jasper does happen to pull it out tonight it will not be by much. I just think that the Wildcats are a better more experienced team.
Last year they played a senior laden team with 15 soph., and 6 juniors, who are back with a vengence.

[Big Red]

I AGREE WITH COOTER. IF JASPER DOES PULL IT OFF, IT WILL BE A VERY CLOSE GAME.
GOOD LUCK WILDCATS!

[cooter05]

No Spivey, I try not to look for excuses.

Have you prayed to the good LORD that they play their BEST GAME so they can beat little ole Kirbyville.

[St. Ivender]

Compudyne:
Thanks for the information. I did not realize that Jaspers Quarteback only played 3 plays last year.It's a good bet he won't be playing tonight either.

Kirbyville rises to the occasion and wins a close one.

[spiveyrat]

cooter05:
No Spivey, I try not to look for excuses.

Have you prayed to the good LORD that they play their BEST GAME so they can beat little ole Kirbyville.It's not an excuse. Jasper beat much more talented teams than Kville last year by much larger margins. Kville is LUCKY Jasper didn't play their best game against them.

Looks like it's time to start firing up the grill!

[Compudyne]

So Spivey, You are telling me that Kirbyville did not play that good. It was Jasper playing that bad??

[southern_thunder]

I am glad that yall are playing better as a team this year. Those guys are so much more fun to watch than all those individuals. Good Luck tonight.Well he might have played more than 3 but it was less than 10 and he was not in the game when Jasper scored their second TD. What still amazes me is that Kirbyville is still hanging thier hat on that game from last year, a loss. And whether it was 14-0 or 44-0 Kirbyville still lost.

I dont know what to say about a team that gets so excited about almost winning.

But this is a different year and i will be glad when it gets started!! And then tomorrow everybody will KNOW!!!

[Newton 05]

I am routing for K-Ville. Jasper does not have a chance. Tonight but in 2 weeks Kirbyville is going to be subjected to a horrifying loss against Newton. :D

[MtnAg]

I dont hink it is so much that K-ville is hangning there hat on a loss, but the way they performed in that game. They were expected to get it handed to them and it didnt happen. That is something to be proud of and something they have built on. NO ONE is proud of a loss but you can be proud of the performance of the team.

Hey Jasper was supposed to come over here with all there Blue Chippers and just pound us in the ground and it didnt happen.

I cant wait til it starts either so we can see where we are against a good team. I think K-ville is up to the challenge and we will do fine.

K-ville 20
Jasper 20

overtime K-ville wins

Im just an observer and those are my obsevations.

[sphinx1906]

guess whose back! Let me go ahead and break this down for yall. Jasper is going to be a good team in this district and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.BUT they have two to three times the athletes to choose from so they should be a top contender. Yes they lost alot of players off last years team but so what, they still have alot to choose from. Kirbyville on the other hand is playing well and is in the progress of building a competetive program and they want to make a statement. there is nothing that you can say to tell them that they can't win. This is going to be a good game. My unbias prediction is :

Kirbyville-17
Jasper- 14

I hope that after all is said and done that it will be done with class.

[cooter05]

Me or any other poster on here is hanging our hats on last years loss. I also have never said that Jasper played its best game of the year, but Kirbyville was a big reason for that. They seemed to have a good scheme and played good defense. Give credit where credit is due. I have not seen Jasper play but it doesn't take a scientist to realize that Jasper lost the house to graduation and that Kirbyville has its entire team back. And you know what? They'll all be back next year too. Kirbyville plays the spread attack well, because they are so quick on defense and will defeat the most underachieving school in Texas High School Football History. Year to year the best talent in the state but NO RING.

Looks like it's time to start firing up the grill!I was just thinking the same thing. :D

[Hupernikomen]

You give Jasper a lot of credit to say they are the best ever to never win it all. (Might actually be true too.) Lot of awesome programs in the state that haven't broken through. However, I have never seen Jasper lose a game to a team with inferior players. Has Jasper lost to teams with less talent, probably so, but who hasn't. Only one team wins it every year.

The teams Jasper has lost it too through the years: WOS, LaMarque, Bay City, Burnet to name a few......I wouldn't exactly say that Jasper was better or more talented than any of those teams that beat us.

As far as I am concerned the 1987 team was a bigger disappointment that last years team who lost to a dern good burnet squad.

[Wildcat81]

come on guys The game starts in 5hrs and 20min.
I believe the cats will win.

[MtnAg]

Are you playing, coaching or watching?

[spiveyrat]

Compudyne:
So Spivey, You are telling me that Kirbyville did not play that good. It was Jasper playing that bad??Yes, I think Jasper played that bad. I have no doubt in my mind that Kville was gunning for Jasper and were ready for the task. But man, you gotta look at some of the quality programs that got blown off the field by the dogs week after week. Look at Newton. Jasper beat them (unofficially) hands down because they were ready for and prepared for them. Kirbyville lost to Newton, I believe? I don't know what the score was, though.

I think Jasper made the mistake of looking to the Newton game BEFORE they had Kville out of the way.

[Wildcat81]

I have to work tonight. I have the phone No.The radio station in Jasper. frown

Hupernikomen:

As far as I am concerned the 1987 team was a bigger disappointment that last years team who lost to a dern good burnet squad.Yeah, the '87 bunch was a big disappointment to me too. They really had a lot of talent. I believe WOS was our achilles heel again that year. Last year, I really thought they would go all the way after making the run they did in 4A the previous year. But, they didn't show up focused and Burnet literally ran away with it from the start.

Our defensive cover scheme was pitiful. We looked about like a calf looking at a new gate. We ran into a team that knew how to run the spread offense, and we looked like A&M trying to cover Texas Tech. We had no clue how to stop their offense. At least that is my take on the game.

Hey spiveyboy...since you are firing up that grill for someone to eat a little crow, go ahead and throw some sausages on it...may as well enjoy the outing...no problem for the dogs..
I repeat!!!

K'ville 7
I'll post the final score when we come back from the game, unless someone keeps you guys informed..

I'll kept ya'll updated as the game is played.
I'll stared a new topic Jasper vs Kirbyviile.
