Cooper 30, Wylie 0 — A pair of first-quarter interceptions staked Cooper to an early 13-0 lead, and the Bulldogs were never able to recover in falling to 0-4 on the year and 0-2 in the Southtown Showdown.

The early turnovers undermined what turned out to be a strong defensive effort for Wylie, which held the Cougars to 318 yards — 192 rushing and 126 passing. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, they were never able to get going offensively, finishing with just 179 total yards and suffering their second consecutive shutout against their new crosstown rival.

Wylie, which got 71 total yards from Jackson Smith (30 rushing, 41 receiving) and 69 receiving yards from Creed Cooper, will wrap up nondistrict play with their first true home game Friday, when they host undefeated Brownwood at Bulldog Stadium.
