Oh come on!!! Stop! This game was won by one team playing great defense. Not, by someone being "tired". I suppose withering defense dose make the other team look tired.

I'm not making excuses for anything. Cooper came out with fire in their eyes and Pendleton usually does, but didn't last night. Saying they looked sluggish is a fact.

Just like Bishop Brossasrt and Harrison County did against them except shoe on the other foot. Fact is, it is January, the quest for the All A is over for most in that group and the others are just biding time until districts and regionals. Kids are tired from 3 months of practices, the weather,etc. and will take games off,has always been that way,some they're fortunate to win,others not.

Please, no matter how many times you say it, or how many different words you use, (sluggish, exhausted, tired etc) it implies that if Pendleton Co. had somehow been "well rested" they could have beaten Cooper. I'm not sure you would want to go there.

Many teams this season have underestimated Cooper. The fact is, their margin of Win/Loss has been very close. I suspect Not once during any of their losses did the Boys at Cooper made an excuse such as I was too tired.

He is not saying Pendleton underestimated Cooper. He is simply stating that Cooper came to play, and everyone besides Monroe looked sluggish and didn't come ready to play!

My God, thank you! I'm not making excuses, I'm not taking anything away from Cooper, and I'm not implying anything. I'm simply stating a fact that PENDLETON LOOKED TIRED.

I'm sorry if this sounds trite, but I read what he wrote. You could have copied and pasted his comment.

Please understand my point, Cooper's defense makes teams look "sluggish".

Can I make it any plainer?

I have seen Cooper play many times this year, and have seen Pendleton a couple of times, I know what both teams are capable of doing! How many times have you seen Pendleton play this year? Are you ever behind a bench during a time out and listen to what the coaches are saying to the players? Maybe, JUST MAYBE Coper seen this as well and took advantage of it. There IS a difference in a team looking tired/sluggish and what the other team makes them look like.

 

Heck, he isn't even saying if the Pendleton wasn't sluggish that they would have won the game, all this fuss over nothing, lol.

Cooper Basketball is in it's third year of existence. The first two years were pretty rough. These boys have worked hard and been coached hard for three years. They didn't win many games the first two years and I never heard of any of them make excuses and complain. They played and still play hard right up till the very end of every game. Now in their third year these boys (and coaches) are starting to have some success (although improvement is still needed).

So, please forgive me for thin skin when they do get a victory and it seems to get chocked up to poor play by the opposition.

I would prefer to think of it as fruits of hard work and determination.

I did not see him take away from Cooper's win at all...
