The Cowboys suffered their first blemish on their record this season after a tie against Keller, 0-0. Despite the scoreless game it was an intense and heated game throughout and things got pretty rough out on the field with many penalties on both sides. The frustration was sure to arise from both teams trying to prevent their first district loss. Coppell is now 5-0-1 in district with Keller close behind at 4-0-2. The Cowboys undefeated streak may be over but this doesn’t mean the teams momentum will slow down. “We are not invincible, Coach Chad Rakestraw said, “I would rather this happen now then later on in the year. It’s a good refocuser for the team.” Still, overall the team was very unhappy with their play many leaving the field visibly frustrated. “We didn’t play very well,” Coach Rakestraw, said, “We let them dictate our play, we lost too many balls and just needed to settle things.” Coppell will get a chance to redeem themselves at Keller on March 30. “Next time we need to come out more focused and calm down,” Center Defenseman Will Simmonds said. Coppell’s next game will be against Keller Central at Keller Central on Tuesday and their next home game is against Denton Guyer on Friday March 2.
