^That’s the story on the FRONT page of sun-sentinel.com — which just goes to show how huge this is. It’s higher than Andy Rooney dying and some big coke bust.

Cooper City High School is notoriously known for losing football games. We would always go to the games and the team always played hard, but wins were generally hard to come by. Last year they did great though, they won districts. And this year?

St. Thomas is ranked as the number 9 best high school football team in America. Not Broward, not Florida, but AMERICA. Every year, they slaughter the Coop on the football field, and as it says in that article, in the past four CC v. STA games alone, St. Thomas has outscored us 239-17.

This year Cooper City football is doing amazing. They’re undefeated with just one game left in the regular season, and last night they beat St. Thomas and won the district — the first time St. Thomas HASN’T won the district since 1996.

My Facebook news feed went crazy.

I mean, that’s how I and most of us found out about the win. And these weren’t just high school kids and creepy college kids who still talk about high school (like me), but like all the alumni all the way back through like 06 I saw, showing Cowboy spirit. It was really cool, and so good for the school/city. I wish I could have been there.

As James Pagano so elegantly puts it, “Damn St. Thomas sucks to suck… Beat by a white public school lmao.”

Now they’re going for Regional & State! Go Cowboys!

Watch the video on the Sun-Sentinel article, it’s awesome.
