Cooper Athlete Commits to Play College Baseball at National Signing Day
The John Cooper School Athletic Department held a signing ceremony on Wednesday, February 1 in the Dunlap Gymnasium to recognize senior Kade Meyer who will be competing at the college level in the fall of 2023.
Meyer will play baseball for Rhodes College, Memphis, Tenn. Parents, faculty, coaches and teammates joined Athletic Director John Hoye to honor Meyer.
“Kade is not only a great student and athlete, but a top character person that is an asset to any team he belongs to,” Hoye said.
“Kade has this goal since he got into our program to play college baseball,” said Mike Williams, head coach for the school’s baseball program.
“Nobody will ever out work him. He will serve as one of our team captains this year and help lead us in SPC play.”
John Cooper School: Results from the Week of April 19
4/20 hosted Cooper Invitational
Girls 5th place • Boys 5th place
Coach Rod Gold: Congratulations to Tillie Claggett who shot 73 to finish Runner-up for Individual Girls Medalist honors. Grant Carter shot a 72 to gather third place Medalist honors, while teammate Daniel Zou shot a 73 for a fourth-place Individual Medalist honor on the boys side.
I am very appreciative of the opportunity to work with our boys and girls golf teams this year. It was exciting and fun to watch them. We saw some incredible golf this year including Tillie Claggett shooting a Personal Best 67 at the St. John's Invitational. We had several players consistently scoring in the Top 5 of each tournament. Coach Sherman and I are looking forward to witnessing the continued growth of all our golfers as the potential for next year is substantial. Go Dragons!
VARSITY TENNIS
4/19 vs St. John's*
Girls 4-1 L • Boys 3-2 W
Coach Jill DelRio: The boys team faced a challenging St. John's team – their toughest match this season – and rallied to win 3-2. The girls had some tough competition as well, with Marielle Suber showing her talent and depth by defeating one of the best players in the South Zone Conference. Overall, the girls fell short but played some beautiful tennis and shoed they might just win the next round against St. John's.
