3 takeaways from Frenship's season-opening rout of Lubbock-Cooper - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

The Tigers came out swinging against the Pirates in what is one of the more charged local rivalries on the South Plains. A 33-point margin in a season opener sets a tone early, and Frenship's offense clearly did not need time to warm up.

Ordonez was the headliner. Frenship has a track record of producing quarterbacks who step in and perform, and Friday night continued that pattern. Lubbock-Cooper, which has built itself into a perennial contender out of the Woodrow area, had no answer for him.

For folks in Lubbock who follow prep football, this result matters beyond just bragging rights. Both schools pull from communities on the western and southern edges of the metro, and a blowout like this reshuffles early district expectations before the season really gets going. Cooper fans will want to see how their team responds over the next few weeks, while Frenship heads into the rest of its schedule with real momentum.

Fifty points in a season opener is a number no opponent will ignore on film.
