Suggested Video

Cooper has been on the road for two straight, but on Friday they'll finally head home. They will host the Wylie Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m.

Cooper is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 53 points last Friday, they were much more limited against Memorial on Friday. They lost to the Mavericks on the road by a 24-7 margin. The matchup marked the Cougars' lowest-scoring game so far this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wylie). They took their contest at home on Friday with ease, bagging a 49-19 win over Legacy. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 253rd, while the Leopards are ranked 1028th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Cooper's loss dropped their record down to 1-4. As for Wylie, their victory bumped their record up to 3-1.

Cooper came up short against Wylie in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, falling 17-7. Can Cooper avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
