If Tarkington wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Jasper, they should've done a better job of containing Isaiah Coleman. The Jasper Bulldogs blew past the Tarkington Longhorns, posting a 68-14 victory thanks in part to Coleman, who threw for 283 yards and five touchdowns on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Coleman was just one part of a punishing run game: Jasper was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 261 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in November of 2023.
Jasper didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Daylon Barlow and La'Darion Adams.
Jasper's win bumped their record up to 4-6. As for Tarkington, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.
