Cooper 21-conner 14

4 week return seems pretty quick after a broken leg.

That was a pretty nasty injury. Many of the Ryle boys heard the injury before seeing it. There is no way I would play that kid unless the injury was not as bad as first diagnosed. Still wouldn't consider highly not playing him.

I'll take Conner by 7 in a great game.

Hopefully Padgett plays his best game ever.

The Enquirer's game preview:

 

CONNER (8-3) at COOPER (9-2)

 

WHEN/WHERE: 7:30 p.m. Friday at Jaguar Stadium, Union.

 

WHAT TO WATCH: Cooper shut out Seneca 40-0 in the first round, while Conner pulled out a 14-12 win at Campbell County. Cooper won 15-13 on a last minute field goal by junior Mitchell Hollifield when these teams met in Week 9. Conner senior quarterback Kyler Padgett has completed 26-of-29 passes for 340 yards and seven touchdowns with no interceptions in the past two games, including last week's performance when he completed 16-of-19 for 128 yards and two touchdowns. Cooper quarterback Nathan Brown had a big game last week too, throwing for 215 yards and five TDs with no interceptions

Hopefully Padgett plays his best game ever.

 

I understand your fear of Cooper.
