Hawthorne breaks single-season rushing mark
PREGAME NOTES
Howe is 1-7 vs. Cooper dating back to the initial game in 1978.
Howe’s lone win came in a 6-0 win in 1979. Since then, Howe has lost six in a row. One of the most exciting games in school history occurred in week one of the 1989 season when #8 ranked Cooper was led by future NFL star Bam Morris and future SMU player Byron Bonds. Howe had the best senior class since 1970. Howe, down 24-22, had the ball at the Cooper one yard line about to score with :30 left on the clock, but fumbled the ball and Cooper recovered and came away with the win.
