Great job Cougars. There’s no way TC or MC will come to Hebron and win in the mud.

Refs took this one away called 2 touchdowns back on make up calls . One with less three min left in the game. Good job jags we know who the better team was.

And pretty sure Conner does to

I'm sure Conner would agree they were the better team twice this year. I'm a big fan of not blaming losses on calls from refs. The refs didn't play, nor the parents, but the kids played. Both played hard and unfortunately a team had to lose, this time it was Cooper.

 

Congradulations to to both teams on representing their schools in a positive manner. Good luck to the Cougars going forward.

Congratulations to Conner.

Game will be at Madison Central, right? Even district hosts in even years - Madison Central is District 8, Conner is District 5.

Illegal man downfield on the bobbled touchdown catch for Cooper was because both receivers were on the line of scrimmage, right?

Congrats Cougars! And good luck next week ...

 

It seems like the favorite won the rematch. They were the better team all season and their record speaks to it.

Congratulations to Conner on the come from behind victory. And congratulations to Cooper on a hard fought game. The Jaguar seniors gave everything they had to try to win this game. There is nothing to hang their heads about. Sophomore QB Jeremiah Lee also made some very big plays.

 

After one Conner score they attempted a short kick to one of the Cooper middle men who couldn't find the handle, Lee ran up from behind, picked the ball up and eluded the Conner kick team making it all the way down to the Conner 5 yard line. It looked like the Jags were set to score in a move that could have won them the game, but a penalty on the return placed the ball way back to the other side of the field. That one hurt. I can't say if it was a good or bad call. I do know there were several calls the Cooper parents were very upset about.

 

I want to give a shout out to Dillon Perry for a great catch in the front corner of the end zone with the Conner defender applying pretty good defense.

 

The Conner QB, Jared Hicks, did what he does and is a huge reason why Conner won that game. For me, his biggest weapon is his running. The kid is big and athletic and makes plays running the ball. When you come up to stop his run, he dumps it off to the outside and one of his skill players runs up the sideline for a chunk of yards. Hicks iced the game with one of his keepers at the end of the game to get the first down. Victory formation followed.

 

Christian Webster did his job of getting some tough yards. He was dinged up a bit at the end and another back came in and with fresh legs ran well. Corey Parsons had an awesome game from the interior of the DLine. He was in the backfield quite a bit and made some big plays including a couple of sacks.

 

Michael Spencer had a bunch of tackles for Cooper. And he ran a slant pattern across the middle of the field and caught the ball in stride racing into the end zone from his TE position. I hope his Dad got that on film because it was pretty. He's been one of my favorite football players to watch since my kid was in the 4th grade.

 

Ayden Camp, LB for Conner, has a motor and is one of the fiercest competitors you will find. He seemed to be directing the Conner defense from his LB spot, exhorting his teammates to hold tough. I was glad to see, for his sake, that he will play another night with his High School teammates.

 

This was such a good game to watch, from the stand point of seeing two rival teams leave everything on the field, that I didn't mind the cold. I have watched boys on both teams since midget BCPWFL days. It was a pleasure getting to know all the parents and share some great memories together.

 

For the Cooper parents, I know that feeling when the clock is ticking down to the end of the game and your team is on the short end. One of the greatest chapters of your life has played out. You supported your kid in his athletic endeavors (and a whole of other worthwhile things) since he was young and now for many, those days are over. But you've done your job. You've provided some great opportunities for your child to learn important life lessons and it will soon be time to release them to the next phase of their life where they won't lean on you quite as much. Cherish the times you had and be sure to let your son know how much you treasure those times you've spent together.

 

Good luck to the Conner Cougars! May you have great success in your next and subsequent contests.

Proud of both teams great game with big plays fun to watch. With that said I am a parent of one of the Cooper players. I feel I can watch a game objectively. The officials determined the outcome of this game. Cooper gets a helmet to helmet call on a kickoff return at the end of the half that cost them a touchdown. 4th quarter Dillon Perry gets knocked unconscious which was clearly targeting and pass interference never called. Sounds like sour grapes but wow the officials were horrible. That said good luck to Conner in the regional championship.
