The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. On Friday Cooper will take on George Rogers Clark at 7:00 PM. Cooper aren't expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn't stop them last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.
While not quite a landslide, the matchup between Cooper and Henry Clay last Friday was still a pretty decisive one as Cooper wrapped it up with a 23-7 win. Cooper success was spearheaded by the efforts of junior Anthony Witschey, who rushed for 157 yards and 1 touchdown on 25 carries, and sophomore Jeremiah Lee, who rushed for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns on 23 carries. That makes it four straight good games in a row from Lee.
Meanwhile, their game two weeks ago wasn't at all kind to George Rogers Clark, but their most recent game may have softened the blow. They steamrollered Bourbon County 40-0. The high-flying offensive effort was a definite turnaround from George Rogers Clark flat performance the game before.
Their wins bumped George Rogers Clark to 7-3 and Cooper to 4-6. Sophomore Azariah Israel will be someone to keep an eye on after he rushed for 153 yards and 3 touchdowns on 13 carries last week. Let see if he can build on that strong performance or if Cooper's defense can bottle him up.
