What they’re saying

“Throughout our tenure, we were able to get Jasper back into the state contender conversation by reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in two decades. We signed more student-athletes to play collegiate football than in any other four-year span in Jasper football history, all while maintaining at least an 88% eligibility rate. We also upgraded all athletic facilities, ensuring that future generations will have the opportunity to train in the best strength and conditioning facility in Southeast Texas.”
