When will Cooper field a team?

 

If you are a Jr or below you have to move to the new school. If they can not field a varsity football unit the first year, which they don't think they will the Jr and Sr class may stay at their curent school. So the hope is if you are a soph this year is that Cooper does not have a varsity sport for your Jr. year. Then you can finish out your high school years with out moving.

When does Cooper have to determine if they will field a team in order for kids to make decisions?

I don't know that there is a time line. I really think that it is safe to assume that they will not field a varsity unit the first year.

I have been told by two different Boone Coutny school administrators that Cooper HS WILL field a varsity team for the 2008-2009 year in football. The stadium is already under construction in addition to the school.

 

As of now, only current juniors will get an option to stay at their current home school - current sophmores will move. And yes, one Conner sophmore family is moving to stay in Conner system.

 

Also, current juniors that stay at current school instead of moving to Cooper will have to provide their own transportation to their former high school - may not seem like a big deal (being seniors and all they can drive)...but try to get a parking pass during the school year to allow you to park

 

At Conner/Ryle game(s) Varsity/JV I heard one Ryle parent explain they are considering a move TO Cooper to allow their son more playing time......This is one of the big disadvantages of being in this fast growing population base.

 

Finally, yes, the Conner JV team is exciting to watch - and does exhibit teamwork and not an I mentality. As I stated a few weeks ago, Coach Trosper needs to get this JV group both as a group and indiviually and discuss what they should be doing to get better and what they should work on during the offseason (as soon as this season is over). In the meantime, JV's only have two games to go - New Cath at home next Saturday at 10:00 and Cov Cath at Cov Cath on the 27th.....although this JV group would love to take on Holmes JV at year end......which will not happen due to playoff and injury potential now that Holes has a shot at district.

 

Circle the 11/2 date on your calendar, as Conner will take on Homes that night - Senior night at Conner, and Trosper takes on his former team - this game will also be a must win for Holmes and Conner will need to win this one to get ready for 2008!

 

Conner still has Newport Cath, Dayton Belmont, Meade County (an away game) and Holmes. Many tough games yet to be played - is it time to start looking at the JV team position players (not all at one time)at the varsity level?

Is he the kid that nailed the 44 yarder before the half?

 

Stevens is definately a great kicker, I have seen him kick 53+ yard field goals.:eek:

Not to be rude, but there didn't appear to be a whole lot to be positive about watching Conner's team. Sophomore RB Pugh is certainly a solid back and sophomore QB West has a strong arm, but their offensive line was thoroughly dominated and there just wasn't much at all on defense. Then to think that they will lose a chunk of kids to the new high school, and you get the feeling that it won't be a quick fix for Conner.

 

Ryle looked very good defensively except for the one long TD pass (very nice throw by Conner QB). Offensively Ryle opened it up a bit and had a couple of nice TD tosses. Schmitz had yet another high yardage rushing game. All in all the offense looked solid, but it's a little hard to put it in perspective because they weren't facing one of the better defenses that they are going to see this year.

 

I don't think you are rude at all in fact it sounds very accurate. I don't think Coach Trosper will be able to fix the problems he is having with the coaching staff he has there has been very little inprovement in the team both on offence or defence and at this point in the season the team should not be making the same mistakes as they did at the beginning of the season.
