Football Training Camp Report: Cooper Hawks
Our first football training camp report for this fall features the Cooper Hawks.
After falling just short several times, Cooper broke through to reach the state playoffs for the second time in school history last season.
They advanced to the state class AAAAA semifinals before falling to Mahtomedi.
The Hawks will have to replace some star power lost to graduation, especially offensively.
They still have high expectations though.
They’ll build around one of the state’s best players, senior defensive end/tight end Jaxon Howard, an LSU commit.
Defensive standouts like lineman John Barrow, linebacker Nehemiah Ponder, and defensive back Chris Blabuh are also back.
Mostly new faces man the skill positions offensively, with wide receiver Keyvon Cager being a key returner.
Cooper opens the season September 2nd at Orono.
