For my #5 story we go to Reeds Spring. And for the second straight time in the countdown is a guy that excelled on the basketball court and on the golf course.
There was never a high school golf state championship in which Ty Cooper was eligible that he didn’t qualify. He made the field as a freshman. The event was not held due to Covid his sophomore year. He was a top 20 finisher his junior year. And he saved the best for last. He fired a championship best 70 on the second day of the 2022 event to recover from a slow start and make the All-State team by finishing 8th.
On the basketball court he top the 1000 point mark and finished his career as 4th most prolific scorer in Reeds Spring Basketball History
He is playing golf and attending school at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida
