Coach Brent Landrum: In eight years of football at Cooper this was the best first scrimmage we’ve had. It was also the most dominant we’ve been in a scrimmage. The boys made very few assignment mistakes on both defense and offense. I thought the defensive and offensive lines played very well. The defensive line controlled the line of scrimmage while the offensive line opened holes for the running backs and provided ample time for the QB in passing situations. It gets tougher from here. We scrimmage Second Baptist this Friday. They are always well coached and they always have great skill and size. It will be a challenge.”
