Another tournament and another win for the John Cooper Dragons.
The Dragons won the Bay Area Christian Tournament this past weekend taking victories over CHSA (25-16, 25-22), La Marque (25-11, 25-8) and Second Baptist (25-7, 25-22) to earn their way into the Gold Bracket. Once there, victories over Lutheran North (25-12, 25-11), Round Rock Christian (25-21, 25-22) and then defeated Pantego Christian (25-18, 25-12) to claim the tournament title.
"I was so proud of how the team rallied and grew closer this weekend," John Cooper coach Ray Hedden said. "Of course, the tournament win was nice but to see what Coach Peyton and I got to see happen this weekend was fun and special. Once this team is healthy and in tact we should be primed for SPC play! We had a lot of contribution this weekend from the entire team."
