“I’m working for that state title, it’s all I can think about,” Cooper said.
He’s on the way there this season being ranked 4th in the state of Idaho for his weight class.
“One of my favorite matches this season was battle for the paddle,” Cooper said, the rivalry matches are always intense but that’s when Cole feels he’s at his best ability.
“Pressure doesn’t bother me too much, I like to think it’s just another match I need to win,” Cooper said.
Cole dominated his match that night and got to show the whole school what he’s made of.
Although being an avid wrestler and athlete Cole does enjoy things outside of his sports and class.
“I love snowboarding during the winter and hanging out with friends and family,” Cooper said.
With wrestling season in full affect, Cole Cooper will continue to work as hard as he can to get that thing he wants the most, a state championship.
