EL PASO, Texas (KCBD) – The Lubbock-Cooper Pirates (7-4) punched their ticket to the area round with a 45-42 win at El Paso Del Valle.
While trailing 21-17 late in the first half, Pirate QB Ryan Rodriguez connected with a wide-open RB Charmayne Johnson there in the end zone as time expired. In a game that saw multiple lead changes throughout, LCP erased a 28-24 deficit when Rodriguez moved the chains connecting with WR Cade Gant, who then became the program’s all-time receiving yards leader with that particular catch. Johnson then brought the ball across the goal line as Cooper retook the lead.
Up next for the Pirates is the winner of Arlington Seguin and Prosper Walnut Grove.
