Difference is , I am not bragging about stats from a loss.

Who are they starting over quiz or brown? ?

Both Isaiah Johnson and Austin Alexander would start with them. Once again this shows you must not know much about Cooper, if you don’t believe that. 

I think Scott Co. is a little better. They both have nine wins and 2 losses. Cooper's two losses is to a top 3 team is 5A and 6A team probably in the 2nd tier of teams in that class. Scott Co. lost by 1 to a top 3 team in 3A and the #1 team in 4A and probably the best team in the state no matter the class. 

The teams bot have 9 wins each. Cooper's 9 wins only two of them have winning records. The 9 teams that Scott Co. has defeated 4 of those have winning records.

I will take Scott Co. 24-13.

I'm not prepared to rank secondaries, but when I think of who would be in that conversation, Scott County comes to mind. 

Cooper will present a challenge to that unit. Collins, Emongo, and Garner are all under 6'0". Johnson and Alexander are both in the 6'3"-6'4" range and obviously D1 athletes.  

That might be the best position battle to watch this week.

O'Hara would start at QB over Dawson too. 

This will be a fantastic high school game. Great athletes. Contrast in styles. As to the wide receivers battle, it is closer than people think. Cooper's duo of Johnson and Alexander are big, fast athletes that are going D1. Statistically, Johnson is arguably the top wide receiver in the state. I know that is heresy to those who have seen Quisenberry, but I am just looking at the stats and Johnson is the best of the four. Then if you look at 247sports, Alexander is a more highly rated recruit than Quisenberry (I think that surprises some readers). Then you have Cooper QB Cam O'Hara, a junior with a D1 scholarship already in hand. Cooper is talented, not doubt about that and on a talent level discussion, worthy of comparing to Boyle County at those three position. Not saying Cooper is better but there are arguments to be made in Cooper's favor at QB and WR.

All that said, Cooper's passing game with the same crew was held in check last year by Scott County. And this year, Dixie Heights controlled Cooper's talented passers. Which surprises me a little because of the sell out style of defense Dixie plays. I would think O'Hara, Johnson and Alexander would light that defense up. Beechwood's passing game went for almost 500 yards against Dixie. But Cooper ran the ball effectively on Dixie so that may have held down their stats. Flip side, Cooper went for 555 yards passing against #1 Highlands. 

The top tier, Boyle County level passing attack is there. So what can Cooper's talented passing game do against Scott County? If I am Scott County, I grind it out, control clock, reduce number of possessions and make it come down to which defense can get the extra stop or two to win the game.

It isn't as clear cut as you may think. I agree with you but it is close. 

Will this game be streamed? 

On nfhs.

I believe O’Hara is a sophomore and Ryle also shut them down pretty well. I also don’t think throwing it 50 plus times and abandoning the run will work in this game like the HHS game. Who can prepare and adjust best in a week and make in game adjustments will be key. I feel This is a 1 score game either way.

Not to get off topic, but no chance. 

10. No gambling, bookmaking or point spread comments are allowed in any of the high school forums. Figures of speech that use gambling terms may not be used in any of the high school forums (i.e. bet, over/under, spread, parlay, chips, line, odds, wager). All gambling comments are permitted in the non-high school forums as long as they do not involve any high school sports, students, or student-athletes.

I’m expecting 50+ to be scored from Cooper. Not sure what they have packing defensively but if they can score 50 I would think they’d win. 

The number of teams that have scored 50+ on Scott Co over the years is pretty small. The number of teams that have scored 40 on them is still pretty small. I don’t think it is very likely Cooper breaks 40.

Good post. Also O’Hara is actually just a sophomore.
