Sorry ... the new program stuff is long gone and done for Cooper. After 4, maybe 5 years at the absolute most, the new program stuff is not an explanation for anything. Cooper's success or lack of success today has zero to do with them starting a new program 9 year ago.

 

Agree to disagree. Cooper has only had it's feeder middle school program going for about 4 years now and it is very important to have that program running smoothly to get the middle school players learning the system and being a JAG as early as possible. Those numbers are still growing, and that helps translate to the high school level. Not to mention. The first three years for Cooper was almost a wash also because many students that were juniors and seniors to be got to choose whether they wanted to go to Cooper or stay at their schools. Starting from scratch I think it is reasonable to expect 12 years to field a solid program year in and out with a solid middle school program.

 

I agree also that I don't think he was making excuses but saying Cooper is doing a lot in the short time the school has been open, so have a little faith that the staff at Cooper will get the defense corrected and will continue to build the program this year. Highlands has a SOLID offense that will put up some points, Cooper just has to tackle better, fly around a little more, and be in better game shape and they will be just fine.

"Cooper is in its ninth season and continues to improve."

 

There is an inference there that Cooper being in its 9th season has some impact on where they are today. I am saying there is no need to even reference them being in their 9th season. Covington Holy Cross won a state championship in its 14th season. Is that important? Does it make the accomplishment of winning a state title more impressive that they did it in their 14th year?

 

Not a big deal. I am just saying Cooper being in its 9th year has nothing to do with their football success or lack thereof this year.

I don't disagree with you on this, but to be fair the newness of the feeder program and the 2-3 years early on that they weren't able to fill the school does play into the development of the program. But again, I do agree that the fact the school is only 9 years old has no input into how they are as of today!

Is this a thread about the NCC, Cooper game or how long Cooper's football program has been in existence. New or not that area has so many kids to draw from being success early shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, so lets get back on point. :thumb:

Show me where I said new program? Try reading the post!! I said they are in their 9th season and continue improve. I fail to see the point you are making as it has nothing to do with my post.

You took one comment out of the entire post and twisted it how you wanted to but the results over the last 5 years speak for itself. My point, again since you missed it, was there's no doom and gloom in Union and they'll keep working.

Again, that is not true. Cooper has not had the same numbers as the other schools in Boone County. The area is growing, but Cooper has not had very good numbers on the football team until the past two years. This area is now booming with subdivisions going in so the numbers are growing but it hasn't always.

 

Anyway, I am looking forward to the game Friday. Hopefully I can get my hands on some Skyline Chili before the game starts, although it is not something that I need by any means! Lol

Sorry ... mea culpa ... I wasn't attacking anyone or Cooper. Sorry if it came across that way. As CAP said ... back to the game.

 

:walk:

Things we know.

 

1. Cooper offense can score.

2. Cooper Defense cant stop teams from scoring

3. NCC Offense can score

4. NCC Defense let Scott score 21

 

So where does that leave us?

 

 

BTW Highlands vs NCC will never happen, too much at stake to play that game.

Wouldn't surprise me to see NCC try and go no huddle but I do not know how it will help them with all they have also going both ways? Seems a little counter productive

 

To be honest, I just threw that out there for poops and giggles.

 

Looking forward to a good game from both teams on Friday.

Plus it's difficult to sit for a whole game after eating skyline. If you know what I mean....Lol!!!!

NCC first team D didnt give up a point in their game against scott. Very interested in seeing how it stacks up against an explosive offense like Cooper.

Cooper's Oline is very good!! There defense line just needs some depth an they will be fine.

NCC JV defense gave up 2tds. And the other td was on the kick off returned for a td. NCC defense (as in the varsity squad) is solid. Don't let that score fool you.

Why doesn't anyone give Cooper a hard time for scheduling a 2A school?
