The 2021 football schedule has been released and the Jasper Bulldogs may have one of the toughest schedules in the state this year.
Not only are the old familiar rivals are on there â Port Neches-Groves, Silsbee and West-Orange Stark â but Jasper will face them, back to back to back, and in their own back yard. In fact Jasper will be racking up a lot of miles on school buses this year with six road games, which includes a trip to a defending State Title holder, and only four home games.
It all begins with the very popular Meet the Bulldogs Event which will be Thursday, August 12th at 7:30 p.m. when the members of all athletic teams within the school are introduced to their fans.

The letter withdrawing support came from Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. I write to express our concerns about Port Neches-Groves Independent School District’s continued use of idealized Native American culture, practices, and symbols in the name of the Cherokee Nation, Hoskin said in a letter obtained by 12News.
It s not a new debate, but rather, one that surfaces every few years. A July 2020 statement from PNGISD Superintendent Dr. Mike Gonzales was posted on the district s Facebook page in response.
