Mr. Sixer

Same and tried both links.

Cooper knew Ryle was going to bring the house tonight and Cam used his legs to avoid much of pressure and deliver bb’s on the run and keep the chains moving. There’s a reason he’s the #1 player in Ky in the class of ‘26.

Great Win for the Jags!! Cooper will never be as big Ryle in the trenches however the weapons that the Jags have at the skill position gave them the opportunity to “find a way” to make plays when they needed to and come up with the W. Special teams and the Cooper Defense came up huge for the Jags tonight and helped seal the game! Proud of the Jags tonight and good luck to the Raiders the rest of the season. On the Campbell Co.

This sums it up right here. While I wish Boyle well, this is a HUGE step up in competition that they have not seen. A team that has true platooning struggles against this powerhouse and when add a team with multiple two-way players into mix it could get ugly. St. Eds will roll 11 on and 11 off every series which eventually catches up to every team of this caliber. The good thing is temperature is only going to be around 70 degrees. This is the best of the best from Ohio but I applaud Boyle for seeing where they are at and taking on this type of challenge.

While the trip to Union was difficult for the Tigers, I will say that QB/DB Amonti Marshall (#7) is an absolute "dude"! Definitely a fierce competitor and flat out battled all night despite the score. He went out a few times for dehydration and next thing you knew he was back on the field making plays. I was very impressed and he was clearly the heart and soul of the team IMO. Good luck to Bardstown the rest of the season. Very classy and hard playing team.

The FD OL is absolutely dominant! To be able to run the ball right up the middle like that in the 2nd half is impressive! BG is really good but FD is just that much better.

I was high on the Jags getting back to the 9th championship game for the 3rd time in a row and now I’m liking their chances to win it. With Andy Johnson most likely the top or 2nd best player in the 9th along with the Combs brothers and Isaiah Johnson and Isaac Brown they are more than solid. Only question marks is how fast those last players get their basketball legs under them if they make a deep run in the playoffs and who plays point guard. Should be interesting for this region.

Had a feeling this was coming. The 9th just opened up really wide!

I can only laugh. O’Hara was only off limits if he was in the pocket and if he would have been closed to being sacked the whistle would have blown the play dead. If he took off running he was definitely live which he did once and slid after a 10 yard run. I think the Cooper line held up pretty well since he was not sacked once and the couple of times he had pressure he showed excellent escapability. How about we paint the right picture because going 24/30 for 330 yards and 4 TDs wasn’t by accident..just saying.

Absolutely great list and Kentucky is blessed with some superb talent! Arguments can be made for all these players, probably several others, but I like Alexander for what he does on both sides of the football. He's a serious problem for opposing coaches to gameplan for.

No

I viewed Arrez as more of a defensive player when comparing him to Elijah, Austin and Duran frankly. Certainly was a force in his career and could jump out of the gym! Sorry to reminisce, but I often wonder what Holmes would have looked like had Brandon Hatton and Jalen Avery gone to Holmes. Ok, I'm done dreaming lol.

100% Spot on here Walter! Kinney is absolutely high caliber but the players you've mentioned from Holmes from the glory days absolutely rank extremely high over the last "30 Years". Could've, or should've had at least 1 more state title during that run.

Excellent leaders, excellent students, pillars in the community and absolute ballers on the field! Excited to see their senior seasons and these four will be instrumental in the Jags pursuit to make it back to Lexington.

Alexander is an absolute major problem that every opponent will have to game plan for on BOTH sides of the ball. Looking for him to have a great finish to his 4 year varsity career before he heads off to Chapel Hill. One of the best to put on a Jaguar uniform.

Isaiah also holds an offer from Indiana State. I would venture to say he’ll pick up a few more before it’s all said and done. WR is just one of those positions for NKY that’s a head scratcher as Johnson is built just like former Cooper Jag Dante’ Hendrix who was also under-recruited but ironically went on to Indiana State to become their all-time yardage receiver. Johnson may not be blessed with 4.4 blazing quickness but flat out gets open makes plays. He’s an absolute problem with his height, length and 11.5” hands.

He's the best WR in NKY and most likely in the top 2-3 in the entire state.

Hearing similar but don’t know if it’s smoke or fire so I’m just going to sit back and enjoy the ?

No one in the entire state has nothing but rave reviews for Kinney and no one is going to "shut him down" and he very well could avg. 30 or more frankly. I'll disagree that he's played against better "team" defenses in AAU as not the focus of AAU basketball which I have coached for over 20 years and very few play it to the level they should from a team perspective. Your point on better talent is 100% accurate. My point is he is one player and on any given night anything can happen when you play TEAM defense. I hope the masses sleep on Cooper, CCH and a couple of other teams for that matter because I've seen some whacky things happen in the 9th over the last 30 years. Newport is king until beaten.

Based on what? Pretty bold statement for someone who hasn't coached his first game yet as a Head Coach. Ultimately he may end up being just that but to say he's at the same level as Snapp, Sullivan and for that matter coach Ruthatz who did a darn good job of "pushing right buttons", running the right sets, etc. at one of the highest profile programs in the state is pretty big. I wish him success, like all NKY programs but I'll have to see it to believe it.

I will, somewhat. I cannot speak for CCH but I will comment on the Jags. You’ll get no disagreement from me that Newport is undoubtedly the best team in NKY with the talent they have. You may even be accurate that they may beat Cooper in-season, if they even play as I do not see that match-up on the schedule, by 15 due to the fact that Cooper has 6 KEY players (4 of them likely starters) that also play football so their arrival may be significantly late if in fact the Jags make a deep run into the playoffs similar to last season. I will be interested to see a matchup with both teams at full strength and that game I do not see the Jags losing by 15. I think it will be a dog fight just like the last two regional finals once the football Jags have their basketball legs underneath them and that, most likely, may not be until mid-late January. I’m a believer in Coach Sully in getting his players to play beyond their capabilities on defense. Until then you are 100% spot on and the Wildcats are the clear leaders and regional favorite.

While most would think that, this team will have a balanced attack with the Combs and Pouncy brothers. Throw in Isaac Brown and along with Isaiah Johnson and team will be more than a formidable. I wouldn’t underestimate them too much.

Cooper HS wingman Andy Johnson picked up his first 2 offers within with the last 48 hours. According to his “X” page, EKU and Youngstown St. have extended offers this week. Andy has had an excellent AAU Summer and as one of the top players in the state, he should receive several more offers by the time his senior season is complete. Congrats to the Cooper Jag!

Congrats to Coach Humphrey! I know last years team was senior laden, but Todd has been around the block and will pour his talent into BC. Best of luck Coach!

Cooper looked very good with 2 wins today over West Clermont and Hughes. Looking forward to seeing this team gel even more with the infusion of the younger Pouncy brothers and both of the Combs brothers. Andy Johnson looked extremely good!
