Poor Jasper

This one will be closer than you think. Navasota will win it but their road is very difficult.

You are right about that.. Fedora does a great job of keeping his players focused on the game ahead of them. If Jasper has a problem stopping the pass or thinking that they will run on Navasota, it will be a very long night for the Bulldogs.

Navasota and Jasper games are always fun. I was in 6th grade for that '94 game. Our QB and RB were hurt before the game, amirite?

Yes, along with several others.

The road to Dallas is getting tougher. Jasper is the type team that can really hurt you if you don't play every down. They also feed on emotion and momentum, meaning that the Rattlers cannot let them stay in the game early on. Jasper will have some "new" wrinkles for the Rattlers and will try to run the ball to control the clock as much as possible. I don't think they can get in a passing battle and expect to outscore the Rattlers that way.

I think the Rattler defense will be ready and play all four quarters like they played the second half against China Spring. Which, by the way, included holding them to only 43 offensive yards besides the 53 yard trick play TD.

No doubt Jasper can win this game. To do so, Jasper will have to control the clock to keep Navasota's offense off the field. Similar to what Coldspring attempted to do. In years past, I wouldn't be so confident in the Rattlers and their defense. This year, they are playing pretty sound defense and getting off the field which gives Navasota offense control. An offense that hasn't been stopped so far. And, yes, the offensive line has improved drastically since the Coldspring win.

I have seen both teams. They are very similar in appearance. Big, strong, and fast. The edge goes to Navasota for execution. Navasota does not make silly mistakes. The same coaching staff for years is a huge advantage. Jasper has another new coach this year. There obviously has had to be a learning curve. But from what I saw last night Jasper's game may finally be coming together. Hard to say. Don't know how good Groesbeck really was; that is whether they had played a tough schedule to go 6-4. I would not miss this game! Should this be the game of the week?

Should be another entertaining matchup... We may be tailgaiting depending on if it's allowed.

****Correction, Game time is 6pm.

There should be good attendance for this game. Last night for Groesbeck, neither team turned out what I would call a huge crowd. But this time, folks will be there. It is presumably a better matchup, and it will be much closer for all the fans for both teams that live in Houston. Good idea to tailgate.

If Conroe ISD will not allow it, perhaps Lowes or Sams up the street might allow tail gating ?? I think Lowes is just a block or two away from the stadium. Just a thought.

We will check into it on Monday.
