Cooper forfeits victory over Killeen

By AL PICKETT

Sports Editor

Cooper High School has forfeited its Sept. 4 varsity football victory over Killeen High School.

The Cougars inadvertently played an ineligible player in the game.

"He played five plays," Cooper coach Randy Allen said of the player in question. "We discovered he didn't have enough credits, so we self-reported ourselves to the UIL."

Allen said he received a ruling Tuesday from the University Interscholastic League that the game with Killeen will be forfeited and there will be no further penalty. He informed the team at Tuesday's practice.

Allen said the player is no longer on the team.

Cooper beat Killeen, 26-9. The only bearing the forfeit will have on Cooper will be on the Cougars' overall record since the game was a non-district game. Cooper is now 0-2 rather than 1-1.
