Yes, to this point. There is talk of others but nothing set in stone.

 

They should move more kids up. Varsity needs all the help they can get.

How do you expect a group of freshman to compete at the varsity level at 6A? It makes no sense to move these kids up.

I've seen a lot of freshmen get hurt moving up.

I agree, no amount of Freshman will help a varsity team in 6A. Centers has the body size (6'1 and 190 according to the program) to play but most of the others, while very good players, just don't have that type of size. They will be there soon enough. They just need to focus on going undefeated this year. :thumb:

Cooper lost one of their starting lineman for the season, I believe, with an injury. McClure played end on Offense and Defense. He was out the last two games as well but it doesn't look like he will be able to play the rest of the season. He is a fine player that will be missed. Cooper's main RB, Taylor Centers was promoted to varsity so I doubt he will see any more freshman time. Cooper is deep at the RB position and should be fine but Centers is 6'1'' and 190 so he is definately missed whenever he is not on the field. The one thing to look for is if the kids come out a little flat after getting "pumped" to play Scott County. I think they settle down and do their thing and win 32-6.

 

Who are the running backs if Centers is gone? Just wondering....How strong they are at that position...No disrespect,(obviously he's doing great this year) but I don't know if he was the best RB's on the field in last year in the NKYFL superbowl.

Well, they used Centers as the #1 and he did quite well. AJ Collins, Jacob Smith and Ricky Brooks are the next three in line. They normally keep AJ at full back but I heard today that AJ has the flu so so he is not playing tonight. Probably the best back over all would be our QB, Tyler Morris. He is fast and elusive. I think Jacob and Ricky will get the job done but if they struggle they could move Jared Blank from WR to QB and put Morris in the backfield. Blank also plays some full back and they are deep at receiver so that is an option as well.

 

Last night at practice there were up to 10 of the 32 kids ill so I hope they all don't have the flu.

Does Cooper have a turf field or is it grass? I think with the rainy weather, Holmes is probably hoping for turf. Wet grass does not favor speed.

It is grass, still in great shape, but grass.

I have seen Cooper's team. There are quite a few kids that could compete in 6a. True, it would be nice to win every frosh game. But if there is kids that could play up. Why not move them up. At least to JV. Then they could let lesser kids get more pt at the frosh level and become better. Kids that move up can play against better talant and become better.

Cooper vs Holmes canceled tonight and will be made up Monday night at Cooper, 6pm.

I think playing kids on the JV level is a very good idea, but not the varsity level. There are 1, maybe 2 kids playing freshman ball at Cooper that could play varsity, and one of them has already been moved up.:thumb:
