The Lubbock Cooper High School football team http://www.everythinglubbock.com/story/d/story/lubbock-cooper-pirates-to-play-on-national-tv/38863/OMgFx6FRJ0a0m3Hfg_S3tw played Stephenville at Stephenville tonight, on national television, on ESPN2.
Lubbock Cooper prevailed. I tuned into the game late, and only watched the last 8 minutes of the game.
I am not sure how much high school football will be followed on national television. But if it is, what good publicity for Lubbock Cooper ISD http://www.cooperisd.net/ a school district in rural Lubbock County, just south of Lubbock city proper.
And the announcers were pushing the Cooper quarterback, who they said was a recruit prospect for Texas Tech University http://www.ttu.edu/. The head football coach for Texas Tech, Kliff Kingsbury http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kliff_Kingsbury was at the game tonight, although it sounded like he arrived late for the game. My question is, is Stephenville such a good football team that he needed to travel to see the Cooper team play against them? Or was he responding to a community expectation of his being interested in this game? Sorry, I am a sceptic.
