Two dominant backs in Wayne Shanks Jr. and Dean Calhoun are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Kinkaid Falcons will challenge the Cooper Dragons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Kinkaid has seven straight wins, Cooper has three straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Kinkaid will head into Friday's contest hoping to keep the good times rolling: they proved they can win big two weeks ago (they won by 35) but on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Episcopal 16-14.
Kinkaid relied on the efforts of Shanks Jr., who gained 211 total yards and two touchdowns, and David Capobianco, who threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance also gave Capobianco a new career-high in rushing yards.
Meanwhile, Cooper fell victim to Episcopal School of Dallas and their airtight defense on Friday. They were dealt a 42-0 defeat at the hands of the Eagles. The matchup marked the first time this season in which the Dragons were not able to get on the board.
Kinkaid's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-1. As for Cooper, their loss dropped their record down to 2-6.
