Walton looked good tonight- more athletic than I thought they would be. From the looks of the team tonight and talking to a number of people at the school, they have a lot of young talent coming up that could be really good. Vance Sullivan looked really tought tonight- he is going to be a real talent in the years to come (hes a sophomore right?).

I didn't think either team looked good tonight. What you had was an inexperienced Walton club against a first year inexperienced Cooper team. It was a close game and both teams played hard. There's alot of room for improvement and both teams have the coaching staff to provide the guidance. Good luck to both teams. Continue to work hard and improve with each game.

Not a bad showing for Cooper. Young talent playing varsity - solid talent at the freshman level - strong coaching.

I will agree, both teams looked inexperienced and young- a lot of sloppy plays and turnovers, and a lot of shots that should have dropped for both teams. But Walton should be ok this year, in my opinion.

I heard Walton's Freshman beat Coopers Freshman by quite a bit.

From what i seen, it was a ugly game but it was the first game for both teams.

9 point loss to start the season? I'll take it. Cooper will improve a lot over the year with a great coach like Sullivan.

I have not seen Cooper's schedule, but I'd guess that this was one of their "winnable" games, was it not?

 

Are they playing a full 9th region schedule?

Nice, thanks Eta.

 

That is a much better schedule than I anticipated Cooper having.

I agree. I didn't even expect them to play a schedule like that, but it looks pretty solid.

Who started for Cooper tonight? What grades are they?

Congrats to Walton. Keep up the good work. Congrats.

Cooper's gym looks a lot like Ryle's:
