Conner 3 Cooper 0 (33rd District Semi-Final)

This was a hard-fought game/victory for the Cougars.  Conner started off very tense in this game and almost gave up the opening goal less than 1 minute in.  Conner would settle in around the 10-minute mark and started to generate some better chances for themselves but the Cooper defense held tough.  The game would to halftime 0-0.  

Second half would see the Cougars get a direct free kick from 35 yards out and Brayden Thornton would connect with fellow center back Kellen Faulkner who headed it in for the first goal of the game.  Conner would strike again as Dallas Marshall found himself open and finds the back of the net to put the Cougars up 2-0.  Cooper would keep pressing and would generate chances but nothing that Trey Wagner could not stop.  With less than 20 seconds left Cooper had a corner to try to take away the shutout Wagner was having.  Faulkner was able to clear/head the ball out to Grady Noble who streaked down the field and as time was just about to expire, Noble gets the 3rd goal and the game ended Conner 3 Cooper 0.

Conner will play Ryle for the 33rd District Championship on Thursday at Cooper.
