With Conner playing a lot better now as a team. Who wins this game and by how much?

IMO if parents would have left McFarland alone he would have done just fine!!

I predict CovCath and Cooper will have another big rematch.

We can only hope.

I think Cooper would love a rematch with CCH on neutral floor!

Scott definitely deserved that win they played harder and faster than the Jags. Bottom line they wanted it more.

Then please tell us about OT and quit referencing then officials...

Up five Around 1:20ish left on the the clock. Scott hits a three, Cooper up 2 with less than a min. Back to back turnovers from Cooper. Scott scores on both. Scott wins.

Again I’m not blaming officials like I said Cooper had their chance in OT. All I’m saying is the officiating was terrible.

The fouls were 6-1 in Coopers favor at one point in the first half...don’t blame the officials.

Every time someone mentions officiating people talk about the foul count. Is that the only thing officials call is fouls??

Not blaming the officials for the lose Cooper had their chance in OT.

Sully got T for being out of coaches box witch is a joke.

Was the game at Scott? If so, not surprised.

Yes.

Sully with a Tech, Don't happen very often...

Officiating was a joke.

Cooper hasn’t looked good the last 4-5 games.

Agree - good win against a top 20 team! With Scott County losing, could Covington Catholic be the favorites to repeat?

Madison Central is not in the top 20.

Was this a good win for CCH? It was at CCH on senior night against a 15-12 team.

Does all regions put this out this early?

Anyone have the stat line from SK in this game? How did Niece play?

Niece did not play.

Nice work!!

I watched the Conner/Cooper semi-final game and Jennings was the stand out without question. He dominated offensively both in scoring and on glass.

This Cooper JV team has a lot of experience and they really do a nice job (I believe all 5 starters are juniors, but I could be wrong).

Jacob Deere is a starter he is a sophomore.

Beechwood is gonna be really good the next few years!!

Awfully quick 5 second call against Cooper with 30 seconds left.

Doesn’t surprise me. You can make a case for a couple of other guys, but after DA went down, Jolly has been the front runner for 10th region POY honors. Just my opinion.

In my opinion Jolly is the best player in NKY.

That's the bottom line. A lot of teams "keep it close" but Jags are tough when they find their groove defensively which typically helps them put up enough points win games. They are giving up 44 points per game defensively and have only yielded over 50 points 6 times and are 3-3 when they do so typically when they hold teams under 51 points they are tough to beat. Cooper's bread is buttered on the defensive end of the floor.

The best part of watching this team is they have just as much fun playing defense as they do playing offense.

Second their so unselfish at times I feel to unselfish none of these young men care who scores they just wanta win.

Jags held them to 33 points!!

Newport only had 4 fouls in the second half until the one minute remaining in the game and they had to foul to stop the clock.

Cooper had two fouls in the first half and 8 in the second.

Cooper had 10 total fouls in the game. The officials did NOT impact this game, besides the technical called on Harding that fouled him out in the 3rd quarter. Newport outplayed Cooper in the 4th. McGuire also sat a long period of time for unknown reasons.

 

That said, Cooper was clearly challenged by their coach at halftime and those boys responded. Houston was phenomenal, and Walters was very efficient. Spencer controlled the game on the offensive side, and Centers came in off the bench and executed his role perfectly. As usual, the Cooper defense was pretty darn good, even though Newport executed in 3 of 4 quarters and was able to score 70 on them, which was a little surprising.

 

Cooper certainly a top team in the state, and Sullivan has his guys ready to compete for another region.

Wasn’t blaming officials I just hate when they let them play in the first half but in the second they blew the whistle a lot more on the same bumps they let them play through in the first.
