Going to be a fun drive back to the fort for the Birds

Cooper will be legit this year! Cam just couldn’t get anything started with his receivers.

Maher is a dog!! Fun kid to watch run.

Glad we got the W!

Congrats to Highlands on the win! They have all the pieces this year. I think there is a good chance we see both these teams playing for state titles this year in their classes.

Agreed, I know Cam is dealing with a new core of receivers.  Once they get the timing down this is going to be a completely different Cooper team then what was shown tonight.

I really liked what I saw from the Birds tonight.  I realize there was a couple mistakes but I thought the offense really had a nice rhythm.  The defense really locked in after the 2nd series when Maher ran threw us.

Duncan showed up to be a play maker out of the back field. John Feldbruegge had a heck of a game with a couple big catches.

That display tonight is exactly what the Fort Thomas fan base is wanting to see!

I will be shocked if we hear any gripes of anything critical against the Birds….. Minus the backward pass/fumble and the 3rd down play call with 5 minutes left.

Now we have 2 weeks to get ready for the next BIG challenge at Boyle County!

Highlands at Boyle County In a couple of weeks should be interesting! 

Lorenzen is taking this bird thing literally. ? 

 

Was that a normal number of players for Cooper to dress?  First time seeing them this year, last night, but was shocked on how few players the Jags dressed as a 5A team.  

I don't personally see a path for this version of the Jags to play deep in the playoffs, but they'll certainly be better in 3 months than they were last night. Guessing that will be the case for nearly every team though, to be fair.   

JV Score: Highlands - 41 — Cooper - 0

It was 34-0 at halftime.

I think the Jags "window" is closing.
