Same site for Cougars
By MITCH McLEAN/Staff Writer
Cooper will be making its third straight trip to Texas Stadium.
The Cougars (12-3) will face Austin Westlake (15-0) for the
Class 5A Division II state championship Saturday at noon. Cooper
will also be the visiting team and sit on the West side for the
third straight week.
Cooper has beaten Flower Mound Marcus, 37-19, and Richardson
Lake Highlands, 24-21 in overtime, in its last two games in the
Dallas Cowboys' home stadium.
Tickets are $5 for students and $8 for adults before game day,
and $10 at the gate.
Sales begin Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Athletic Supply
and the AISD administration building. Tickets will also be available
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.on Wednesday and Thursday and 8 a.m. until
noon Friday.
Programs will be available at the game.
Cooper survived its second scare of the postseason Friday when
Courtney Martin kicked a 22-yard field goal in overtime. He missed
his first chance, a 44-yarder, but got a second chance when Lake
Highlands was called for roughing the kicker.
Lake Highlands had fumbled on the first play of overtime, leaving
Cooper needing just a field goal to win the game. And Martin delivered.
