I think Scott County wins this game by 2 TDs. 

Scott Co. 

Scott will dominate the box.  Cooper will start cutting their interior line with their D Tackles.  Scott Co by 14 plus,  unless they play like they did vs Mad Central.

Cooper 21-14.

Cooper 28 Scott County 20

Cooper 35

Scott County 28

Close game going into the 4th, but the Jags are a little too much to tame. Cooper 31-21, pull away late.

I’ll go Cooper by 10.

Maybe the best game in the state for a 2nd round game. Going to say Cooper wins a real close game. 

Believe it will be a great game with Cooper winning.  2nd best game in round 2; Cov Cath at Johnson Central gets top billing.  

Either of these teams could be state champs. Coach Smith and I did not agree on the winner of this one. Those predictions come out Thursday at 7:30 pm!

This will be the most intriguing in the state IMO. I thought at the beginning of the season these two teams would meet again in the 2nd round and it's come to fruition. Both teams are very good in their own respect; can SC contain the quick strike offense lead by one of the best QBs in the state and can Cooper get off the field on 3rd down against most like the most formidable running attacks regardless of divisions with a strong and very fast RB?

From schedule perspective, this will the first time in 6 weeks that Cooper has played a competitive team as those last 6 teams had a combined record of 26-39 and the Jags outscored those opponents 264-79 and all but one, SK, finished the season with a losing record. While I give them credit for playing more competitive teams in the front end of the schedule, they only beat Ryle which at the time was a huge win but Ryle went on to lose 2 more games for 3 straight losses. Anderson, Highlands, and Manual did whatever they wanted to do for the most part and those games were never in doubt. The district, no disrespect, was not competitive whatsoever as the avg. margin of victory was almost 37 points. Again, not the Jags problem but I would have liked to see them have at least one of those games be competitive heading into the playoffs.

SC, has played some stronger opponents on both ends of the schedule with Bowling Green and Madison Central, and while losing both down the stretch failing to score from the 1 yard line to win the game vs. WC along with being very competitive vs. Highlands both within the last 4 weeks, I view them as more "battle tested" at this time of year. The biggest thing for them is that they are healthy which makes them dangerous.

With the above said, I think this could be a toss up game if both defenses get stops, SC stopping the quick strike and Cooper getting off the field on 3rd down. If neither happens, the team with the ball last will most likely be the winner.

Intriguing is a good description @Mr. Sixer.

Let me guess, you took the superstar QB and Coach Smith took the men?

Totally agree! I’m hoping there’s a link to watch that one.
