The play-caller for the Chargers is off to a rockstar start. SFC is 5-0 and ranked #1 in 11A. This past Friday, Cooper completed 9 passes for 155 yards and 2 TD’s. He also ran for nearly 40 yards. In hoops, Strande is also a stud. I am not sure what role he will play this winter as SFC is absolutely loaded with talent. Either way, Cooper is a skilled, smart, athletic, and all-around playmaker.

PHD admires the way Strande plays the game. He passes the “eye test” with his length, poise, and skill, showcasing a mature game well beyond his years and that undeniable “it factor.” Strande is the kind of player who can create offense, facilitate, and manage the game, yet when needed, he can also score from all three levels—and make it look smooth doing so. Add in his toughness on the defensive end, and it’s clear Strande is a real-deal ball player with the complete package.
