The Pirates took the lead when Johnson did the same thing minutes later in the first- from two yards out and gave Cooper the 14-7 lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">With the game tied 21-21, LCP QB Ryan Rodriguez lofted the ball to WR Cade Gant for the explosive go-ahead score. Johnson made another goal line score in the third with the help of his teammates. The Pirates would lead 49-21 in the fourth before they staved off a 3TD comeback attempt from the Mavericks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The win puts Lubbock-Cooper in a better position to contend for a playoff appearance. Next week, they will try to climb the 5A-2 District 2 standings even more as they welcome in Abilene Wylie there at Pirate Stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcbd.com\/page\/the-end-zone\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.kcbd.com\/page\/the-end-zone\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to download the End Zone app, which is available in your App, Android, and Google store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 KCBD.
