Knox Hodges, son of former Red Raider wide receiver Slade Hodges and nephew of former Tech quarterback Cody Hodges, led the Leopards to the win. It's the second straight week Hodges has beaten a Lubbock ISD school, after Legacy knocked off Monterey at home.
For Pirate fans, the pattern is getting hard to ignore. A team with family ties to Texas Tech football keeps showing up on Lubbock-Cooper's schedule at the worst possible time. The Pirates need a turnaround fast to salvage the season and climb out of the district hole.
Lubbock-Cooper gets a short break before heading back on the road. The Pirates travel to face Abilene Cooper next Saturday, looking for answers and, finally, a win.
Here's the stat that stings most. Lubbock-Cooper is still searching for win number one while Hodges has now beaten two Lubbock ISD programs back to back.
