JV game was fun, went to OT, and a Jag hit a walk off three ball at the horn.

 

Was great to see Coach Otte before the game, such a fantastic guy, but tonight wasn't a good one for his Cougs. Will be better days ahead for Conner.

 

Cooper is really good, balanced, skilled, and very well coached. Runyon (sp?) is a real handful, can shoot it, drive it, and rebounds very well for a guy his size. Hendrix hits a three ball at the horn to end the 1st and 2nd quarters, and man, I LOVE watching him defend.

 

Kudos to the Jag student section (and their fans) for keeping a "silent night" until the Jags hit 10 points.

I heard the first game was also decided on a last second shot.

 

Varsity game got a little heated with just under 7 minutes to play. A couple hard fouls, the second called intentional, caused some tense moments. Refs kept things under control, I thought they handled it well and Coach Otte removing the player was probably a good move on his part.

Cooper is so tough. Night in and night out. Play good defense, some good weapons on offense, and excellent coaches. Tough loss for Conner, but they'll bounce back.

 

Did Kunkel play? Saw where it said he wouldn't kiss much, if any, time. If so, how'd he look?

Not surprised that Cooper won, but very surprised by how much. I would've guessed by no more than 15, but was really thinking that it would have been much much closer.

Conner (3-1)–Craddock 3 0 6, Ostertag 1 2 4, Connley 4 0 9, North 2 2 7, Saffell 2 0 4, Hemmerich 6 1 13, Suprenant 2 0 4. Totals: 20 6 47

Halftime: Coop 35-8. 3-pointers: Coo 8 (Walters 3, Hendrix 2, S. McNeil 2, Runion); Con 2 (Connley 5, North).

 

 

Cooper was up 35-8 at the half??? Or is that a typo???

Not a typo.

 

Kunkel played, got 2 quick fouls, sat for a while, got his 1st bucket on a breakaway in the 2nd half. Picked up his 4th foul late in the 3rd quarter.

Not a typo. If I remember correctly Conner did not score until about 1:30 left in the 1st quarter

Not a typo.

 

Kunkel played, got 2 quick fouls, sat for a while, got his 1st bucket on a breakaway in the 2nd half. Picked up his 4th foul late in the 3rd quarter.

 

Got his 5th just a minute into the 4th quarter as part of a double foul with Hemmerich.

Waiting on the official stats but was told that Sean McNeil finished with a triple double last night. He played his best game of this short season.

By the way, can we ixnay the play-by-play from the P.A. guy at Cooper?

Read on Twitter that they attempted to do the 'Silent Night' ala Taylor University. Wonder how it went?
