Two Union schools kicking off their season with a rivalry game.

 

Cooper got the best of the Raiders last year.

 

Thoughts for this year's game?

Ryle have a quarterback yet?

Ryle hasn't had a quarterback since Hemple graduated.

Sorry to say but I look for Ryle to win at home this year. I think the Jags will bring the fight to them but fall a bit short. Cooper is still a work in process trying to be ready for district play.

Ryle 21-14.

I think it will be close too but I think Cooper has more weapons than Ryle. I could see the score being 35-33. Key on both sides could be who is in shape and who has the least number of injuries. I saw where Ryle lost for the year one of their top RB and WR and another RB is dinged up. Cooper has had a couple minor injuries to a couple skill players but should be pretty healthy by Friday.

Ryle have a quarterback yet?

 

I think so but definitely a work in progress.

The coaching staff at Cooper will be the difference in this one. They are a top notch group and will have their kids ready

I will make some unhappy, but something you have to know about me is even though I am a Cooper homer I will always tell it like it is.

 

With that said, with Ryles OLine I predict Ryle 24-7

I actually look for Cooper's special teams (Morgan) to be the difference maker in this one. I think the Jags win on the road in Week 1.

This will definetly be one of the better week 1 match ups.

Ryle 31 Cooper 28

Ryle 28 Cooper 14. Ryle's D will come up big in this one.

I will take Cooper in this one.

After a week of practice since the scrimmage, I am feeling more and more confident about Cooper's chances.

I believe their offense will be too much for Ryle and this will be a great game. If Cooper can handle the big guys on Ryle's O-Line they deffinatly have the defense to stop Ryle.
