Coach Bryan Sherman: The alumni game was a great night for both current and former Cooper players. It’s always a great game, with some great competition and a wonderful atmosphere celebrating past and present players. The boys followed it up with a big win against Cypress Christian, our final tune-up before SPC play starts. I am pleased with the progression the group is making and very excited to see how well we can perform in conference play.
