Final per Cooper Sports Med Twitter.

Wow... didn’t see that coming. Congrats to the Jags on the win. Love to see it.

Nice win Jags!!

Great win.

Wow, this Newport team needs to get refocused, and in a hurry.

Go Jags!

What has happened to Newport? Is that 6 straight losses after starting 9-0.

6 straight L’s for Newport. Time to look in Mirror and figure it out before Friday’s meeting with Covcath.

Look in the mirror or not, it won’t matter Friday.

Great win.

 

Welcome to BGP @Kybball12

Anything can happen. When Newport is playing at their best they are a tough team. But they have some soul searching to do.

Newport looked very disinterested in this game, and it did not help that Davis sat this one out, either. I do not have stats from this game, but would guess that the Jags shot 50% or better from the 3 point line and that Newport probably had a field goal percentage around 30%. Jags looked improved, which is exactly what you would expect from a team that did not have a ton of varsity experience coming into the year.

 

I think by the end of the year Cooper will end up being one of those teams that no one outside of CovCath wants to see. As for Newport, others have already said it. They have to get back to the basics and get this thing turned around or this season could spiral out of control.

I wasn't at the game, but my guess would be that for Newport and their series of losses as of late, and having played and lost to Highlands in a hard fought battle the night before, they're probably experiencing burnout, and a lack of confidence.

Is this a strength of schedule issue? I believe Newport has 1 win over a team with a winning record, their season opening win over Brossart. Maybe the schedule has caught up to them and it's showing us who they are.
