Newport/Cooper updates

Appears the 23-7 3rd quarter sealed Newport’s fate.

Was Newport winning at the half or did they turn it on in the 4th?

 

Nice win Jags!

Tied at half. Cooper was up by 21 then the officials totally turned how they called the whole game and started calling every little touch.

33 all at the break and 56-40 Cooper after 3.

Tied at half. Cooper was up by 21 then the officials totally turned how they called the whole game and started calling every little touch.

 

Cooper had 10 total fouls in the game. The officials did NOT impact this game, besides the technical called on Harding that fouled him out in the 3rd quarter. Newport outplayed Cooper in the 4th. McGuire also sat a long period of time for unknown reasons.

 

That said, Cooper was clearly challenged by their coach at halftime and those boys responded. Houston was phenomenal, and Walters was very efficient. Spencer controlled the game on the offensive side, and Centers came in off the bench and executed his role perfectly. As usual, the Cooper defense was pretty darn good, even though Newport executed in 3 of 4 quarters and was able to score 70 on them, which was a little surprising.

 

Cooper certainly a top team in the state, and Sullivan has his guys ready to compete for another region.

Wasn’t blaming officials I just hate when they let them play in the first half but in the second they blew the whistle a lot more on the same bumps they let them play through in the first.

Cooper had two fouls in the first half and 8 in the second.

And they blew whistles 6 times on Newport in the first, and 9 in the 2nd. 15 to 10, in favor of Cooper for the game.

 

You stated Cooper was up 21 until the officials totally turned how they called the game. I was just stating that the whistle definitely went Coopers way more than Newport’s last night.

 

And, I’ll also state that I don’t think the whistles determined the outcome in any way shape or form. Cooper won and was better last night.

Newport only had 4 fouls in the second half until the one minute remaining in the game and they had to foul to stop the clock.

So if Harding doesn’t foul out and McGuire doesn’t get sat, Newport possibly wins?

Cooper took a commanding 3rd quarter lead. Their guys were all playing on a mission. Not sure what happens hypothetically. But, I didn’t think the officials had anything to do with the game. Just my opinion. Cooper got a lead because they played hard and together. Newport battled back because they played hard and together.
