Final.

Thanks for the updates @JUGGSPORTS!

 

Nice win Cooper!

Sophomore Cameron O’Hara 16/20 passing, 305 yards, 5 touchdowns, 1 INT.  Junior Austin Alexander 4 receptions, 137 yards, 2 touchdowns.  Junior Isaiah Johnson 6 receptions for 111 yards, 2 touchdowns.  Sophomore Keagan Maher had the other touchdown.  

 

The Cooper folks in the booth with us tonight, including O’Hara’s dad, agreed that this was a really good Week 1 tune-up for both teams. Cooper played a team that goes hard and never quit. Bardstown got a taste of what it’s like to play against D1 caliber players. Pretty much a drubbing, but I saw a lot to build on for Bardstown. Cooper knew we couldn’t throw and had 7-8 defenders in the box, and Bardstown was still able to punch holes and get 3-4-5 yards a run. Bardstown was really good against the run. We were really good on special teams. We didn’t have anyone that could defend Alexander or Johnson or block Lonaker. Ballgame. Plenty to build on. I think Cooper can challenge for a 5A title.

Some stats from this game for Cooper:

Sophomore QB Cam O’Hara- 16 of 20 for 316 yards passing and 5 TDs

Sophomore RB Keagan Maher- 10 rushes for 85 yards and also a receiving touchdown  

Junior WR Isaiah Johnson- 6 catches for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns

Junior TE/LB Austin Alexander- 4 catches for 148 yards and 2 touchdowns. Then on defense he had 10 tackles and 2 sacks

Senior LB Jack Lonaker- 17 tackles and 2 sacks
