 2017 Preview 


       Jasper completed the 2016 season with a 4-6 record. Last year Jasper finished sixth in Class 6A region six with a 1-5 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       Jasper took a step backwards last year with their first losing season since 2006. The Vikings lost as many games as in any season since 2006. The Vikings hope to rebound after a down year. Last season they struggled winning just four games which followed a 9-3 record in 2015.

       Since 2010, Jasper has gone a combined 51-27. Their 65.0% winning percentage ranks 15th in Class 6A over the past seven seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Jasper has managed to compile a record of 184-96. Their 66.0% winning percentage ranks 10th in Class 6A and 45th in the AHSAA.

       The Vikings are led by head coach Heath Brunner who is entering his fourth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 19-14 over the past three seasons at Jasper. Under his direction the Vikings have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times. They have won one region crown with Coach Brunner.

       Coach Brunner's overall record as a head football coach in three season stands at 19-14 (57.6%).

       The Jasper Vikings will play in Class 6A region six during the 2017 season.

       It will be an uphill battle for the Vikings if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region six this season.

       The Vikings open the 2017 season on the road against non-region opponent Austin on Friday, August 25 at Shorty Ogle Stadium. Last year the Austin Black Bears finished with an overall record of 10-4 and in first place in Class 6A region eight. The Black Bears lost in the semi-finals round of the Class 6A playoffs to Ramsay by a score of 25-14.

       Jasper and Austin have met a total of 8 times on the football field. The Vikings have a 3-5-0 record against the Black Bears. They last met in 2016 with Jasper winning by a score of 14-10.
