Can someone clear something up for me? I was reading another blog recently where Coach Trosper was being interviewed. The kid doing the interview asked him about Conner kids wearing Cooper shirts to school on a regular basis. I didn't take it as they were wearing it as joke but, rather, it was just part of their normal attire.

 

What in the world is that?

 

As a student at Conner, this is true. It is not just Cooper attire. It is also Ryle, Boone, SK, and Dixie. Some kids just don't have as much school spirit as others.

 

Hopefully the Cougars can go out and bring in a win, sending them to the playoffs.

So is it the international soccer mentality - collect a jersey from your opponent? I just don't get it. Maybe I'm showing my age.

It is alright, I honestly don't get it either. I guess they just like that school better than the one they go to. Who know's???

It's showing our age. My kids just cannot understand when I ask "how can kids be best of friends and hang out with your rivals and then have that "kick-their-butt" mentality when you play'em. We hated our rivals and wouldn't be caught dead hanging out with them. In today's world, they beat the crap out of each other on Friday night and they are "Facebook friends" by Saturday...Good Golly!

 

Man, the world has changed.

Conner should win this. With all the motavation they got, they will blow Cooper out.

Nice first post. Don't forget to visit some Simon Kenton threads to find a friend who thinks like you.

I would think that both teams will play with a lot of intensity. Should be a great game to watch. Would see this within a TD either way.

^Agreed. This game will be played with playoff intensity, because even though it's not officially, it really is a playoff game. It also has the element of future 5A division rivals that happen to be 5 miles apart going for it. Give me the extra large popcorn for this one. :popcorn:

Please add butter on mine.:popcorn::popcorn: And make it 2 popcorns - 1 per half.

Remember, there are 4 high schools in Boone Co., very close geographically speaking. They go to same parks, movies, they play in same rec. leagues like baseball, soccer and football when they are younger and not divided by district. In the Conner/Cooper scenario, today's seniors went to elementary and middle school together then split them in the 8th grade when Camp Ernst opened, put them back together as Freshman at Conner and then divided them again as sophomores when Cooper opened. Rivals, definitely YES, but enemies, hopefully no. Maybe they are just more mature than you.

 

And don't forget, we still have that insane setup in BCPWFL that allows them to all play together w/o being divided by district through the 8TH grade! Some of these kids played 7th and 8th grade together on the same teams! They should know weaknesses and strengths like no other. Maybe BCPWFL should learn something from this.

 

Should be a good game. Cooper has nothing to lose and everything to gain. No pressure on them, if they lose, they weren't expected to win, if the win, they just conquered their 1st 6A win and a huge rival. But...I go with Conner who has everything on the line. Pride and PLAYOFFS! Hard work pays off and Conner will drive with teamwork!

This really doesn't make a difference, but I am going to throw it out there anyway's. Conner beat Boone Co., Boone Co. beat Cooper. If Conner goes into the game the same as they did versus Boone it will be a win for the Cougars.

These teams have been talking trash since summer. It has all the makings of what is to be a great rivalry & it has big implications this week for Conner. There is no doubt in my mind that these teams are enemies & the new alignment is going to confirm that. This is going to be a great game.

Cooper wants the monkey off their back, get first 6A win. I think Cooper will pull this off, close game, last chance for them this year. Good luck to both teams.

Cooper will not be able to win this game. All the Conner Seniors are going to go as hard as they can. Cooper will get rocked.

Yeah, that's what it is
