Campbell County wins in fairly easy fashion over the home
team by a final of 54-13.
Not to take anything away from both teams but eyes were
clearly on the final match of the night featuring our Kevin Cooper versus
Stephan Myers from Campbell County, both defending state champs. Coop has been wrestling all season at 152 and
Myers recently dropped down from 160 to set-up the match against what some have
called two of the best wrestlers in the state in quite some time. Myers scored 2 points on Coop early. Kevin tied and had some good chances to score
in the second period but Myers was able to just stay ahead of Coop's moves. Once
Myers got the lead, Coop tried some desperation measures at the end that failed
and lost by a final of 7-2-although the match was much closer than the
final score.
I talked to Pop Coop after the match and although a little disappointed was certainly not discouraged by what he saw in his youngest dude. I don't know the sport good enough to know what he was thinking; I could just tell he was thinking some good stuff.
I’ve known the Cooper family for a long time. Two things I’ve learned over those years;
first they are a Class A family; all of them.
The other thing is on the sporting field is you just don’t…..never mind,
I’ll keep that one to myself. I’ll just
say I’ve got the Pioneer faith in the fine young man that’s been kicking me in
the shins since he’s been 4 years old. Go
get’em Coop, you are clearly a special SK athlete.
Joey had his hands full tonight with Fauz from CC.
Colton Cooper with a near pin. He still went on for the pin.
Nothing to say other than Cooper versus Myers.
Look how many people videoing in the background.
