SYLVESTER — Worth County senior Chip Cooper has been selected as Georgia High School’s Player of the Week by the Georgia High School Football Daily.
He will get his award Thursday at Worth County High School in Sylvester. Cooper earned the award for his performance Friday night in Eastman when the Worth County Rams beat Dodge County in a shoot-out 47-38.
“I knew when I got to Worth County that we had a good quarterback,” said Worth County head coach Jeff Hammond. “But Chip is getting even better every game. Last week he played really smart, making good choices and throwing the ball really well. He stood in the pocket and checked the defense. He is good at running too, but this week he stood in the pocket and made the throws.”
In Friday night’s game, Cooper accounted for more than 500 yards of offense for the Rams. He completed 24 or 37 passes for 408 yards and six touchdowns. He also ran for 96 yards and scored one touchdown on 18 rushes. In six games this season Cooper now has completed 95 of 156 passes for 1223 yards passing with 14 touchdowns. He has rushed for 421 yards on 87 carries and scored seven touchdowns.
