Seriously? Highlands blitzed the whole team and still couldn’t stop them. You can say it’s a 3-5 but in actual game play it’s far from it.

Honestly, I don’t understand the uproar about Highlands. They play hard defense. The team will not improve with another underperforming coach taking his spot. If you were at the game you would know that Highlands had almost everybody in the box the entire game. It’s not the coaches fault. Cooper finally did what they should have from the start. Let Eric run more than 5 times a game , and put Lee and Wright back at safety. They are the best two athletes arguably in this area. That combo will draw any defense into attack mode. It Opens up the passing lanes and the play action. They literally only passed 5 times. 47 rushes for almost 400 yards and 6tds against a defense that held Conner to 0. Can’t blame coaching for that. They couldn’t stop them. Hopefully against Ryle they do the same, but with more play action. Jimmies and Joe’s over Xs and Os.

Tanking for Trevor.

Huge loss for the future. Good players, wish em the best.

His car was also burglarized Before the game as well. I’d be ready to punch someone as well. Kentucky Wildcats: Lynn Bowden’s car was broken into prior to Belk Bowl - A Sea Of Blue

Glad to see stoops walk out with him side by side. Way to stand behind your players.

When Highlands, Beechwood, or Covington Catholic underperforms with the talent they have , the community as a collective has enough common sense to understand facts from politics. I think it’s toxic when Cooper fans are ok with mediocrity. I expected a 8-2 season and 2nd round exit to CCH this year. 3 very winnable games (Conner, Ryle, Highlands) all decided within 7 points. The turnovers where the back breaker. They had some really solid protection and a stellar defense this year and only finished ahead of Boone County. I think that they will be better than those teams next year, because the district will be down, but I think the “win now” not next year approach applies to anyone that’s not on the in NFL. Kill the politics and just go for the win.

It was more of unsportsmanlike conduct. They would stand over and look at players after the big hit. These days that’s a flag. I think Highlands is down this year, but one thing I’ve liked about them is they hit hard. I don’t know if they go full contact in practice, but they sure look like it. He’s a beast.

Your absolutely right. Good job coaches! Cooper over Cov Cath by 40.

I mean the players did everything to keep this game close, minus the turnovers. As far as predictability goes, I’ll just be reminded of Cooper's state runner-up year and told off.

Another week, another year of predictability. Good fight by the Jags players and the seniors. Fight Cov Cath with everything you got.

In this situation, I think it’s more of the environment. I like the way Nick Saben handles his players. He’s not a players coach at all, but he always shown he cares about the players even if it’s in a blunt way. If a player just walks away from a program and it’s not about school/family, he obviously doesn't feel a connection with the program. I personally think quitting is bad move and sets a tone for how your life will end up.

They’ll blow Boone out. Ouch that’s 2 starting receivers in one season.

This was a very entertaining game per usual. Cooper had control but 3 turnovers killed their chances.
