Cooper 21, Keller 20 — A bus delay out of Abilene and heavy traffic in the Dallas-Fort Worth area couldn’t keep the Cooper Cougars from making a successful road trip in the opening week of the high school football season. 

Building a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter, the Coogs responded to multiple Keller rallies, sealing the victory with a two-point conversion stop after a kickoff return touchdown gave the Indians a chance to tie or take the lead with 23 seconds remaining.

Noah Garcia, whose 12-yard TD reception from Aidan Thompson broke a 14-all tie with 34 seconds to play, led the Cooper offense with 124 rushing yards and two total touchdowns. Receiver Daelin Campos also had a big game, catching seven passes for 110 yards. This included a 68-yard scoring strike from Thompson, who passed for 164 yards in the win.

Defensively, the Coogs were led by Dylon Davis, who intercepted two passes from his spot in the Cooper secondary.
