was a steady, dominating defensive rebounder. He defended the Hunters Lane layups without fouling too. Westmoreland entered the gym undefeated at 3-0. Thanks to Cooper and several seniors they collected themselves after an atrocious first couple of minutes, down 8-0. The Warrior pressure became manageable after they settled in.
Cooper hit a corner three-pointer to bring it to 14-12 early in the second quarter. He collected a big defensive rebound on the ensuing possession and made 1-2 from 12′ to even the score quickly thereafter, 14-14.
Later in the quarter Cooper hit ’em with a drop step into a righty baby hook. So smooth.
An offensive rebound off of a Preston King Preston King 6'5" | SF Westmoreland | 2024 State TN miss brought it to 39-29 late in the third quarter as the hosting Warriors attempted to claw back into the game.

competed well together in high-low scenarios.
Julian Brinkley (Hunters Lane)
Though he was not consistently effective, Julian showed enough to be a player to watch. Slender. A little springy. Needs to develop touch around the rim.
Rowan Mactavish (C.P.A.)
Senior Rowan Mactavish was active in the lane and as a rebounder. C.P.A. is not a big team, but they rebound effectively with the right technique and positioning. Rowan is a big part of that.
