2-0 Cooper travels to 1-1 Ryle for a good match up!

? Ryle leads the series 13-3.

Cooper -28

Ryle-21

Cooper visits Ryle in another Union backyard battle in front of a big crowd. I see a close game decided late as Cooper tries to break their 8-game losing streak. Neither team winning would surprise me. Some fun players to watch on both teams. Should be a beautiful evening for Friday night lights.

If you can't make it to Union, hope you can make it to our broadcast as we will be live on (859) Sports Radio for this huge crosstown rivalry.

I will be watching, thanks again @859Radio!

I like Cooper in this one.

Cooper big in this one! 42 to 14

I expect a Cooper win, probably by a couple of TDs.  If Ryle wins I think it is a combination of Ryle being better than "we" think and Cooper not being as good as "we" think. 

In the series since Cooper was opened, half of the games have been close, including the last 2 years, and half of the games decided by 3 touchdowns or more. Raiders have been on the winning end of 7 of the 8 games that were not highly competitive for 4 quarters. I look for a repeat of the last two years in a game that could go either way. Some solid playmakers on both squads and good QB play. Like most close games - turnovers, big plays, and special teams determine the winner. I’ve been privileged to watch each of the 16 games in person. Both teams always seem prepared and disciplined, which is a tribute to coaches and players in a hotly contested rivalry.

Bump.

I’ll be watching on 859 Sports, as long as you keep the announcing to facts, unless it offends a rooter for another school then I don’t know what I’ll do. Also don’t dare say anything positive about a player that may have held the door open for you on your way into a gas station 3 years ago. 
 

You all do a great job and this one should be a very competive game. Good luck to both teams. 

I'll take Ryle in a close one.

Really does feel like Coopers game to lose here. If the Jaguars are reading their press clippings a bit too much, some teams can struggle early with new success. 

Bump.
