Bowling Green vs. Cooper

Kickoff: 4 p.m. (EST)

Cantrall ratings: Bowling Green 92.6, Cooper 84.1

History lesson: Defending champion Bowling Green also won a state title in 1995. The Purples have been runners-up four times. Cooper, in its fifth year of existence, is in the finals for the first time.

Purples reign: Bowling Green, riding a 29-game winning streak, figures to be even better next year. The Purples are stacked with talented juniors.

Bowling Green leaders: Junior Devin Hayes has thrown for 2,544 yards and 38 TDs. Junior Nacarius Fant has set school records with 67 catches, 1,250 yards and 18 TDs. Junior Blue Tisdale has run for 1,025 yards and 17 TDs. Allen Gonsalves and Lincoln Quick are leading tacklers.

Cooper leaders: Senior quarterback Tyler Morris is a dual threat. He's passed for 1,685 yards and 18 TDs, and run for 795 yards and 14 TDs. A.J. Collins has rushed for 1,649 yards and 19 TDs. Aaron Morgan is the top receiver with 37 catches, 734 yards and seven TDs. Morgan leads the defense with seven interceptions. Dustin Mitchell and Avery Bricking are the leading tacklers.

Key to victory: It will be Cooper's muscle against Bowling Green's athleticism. Will strength or speed prevail?
