real step came riday night It was a tense evening for Cooper who was involved in one of Southwest most nerve wracking games ever when he scored the winning points in four overtime victory over Powell Valley in the Region basketball championship game in 1987 basket at the buzzer was the only score in all four overtimes was one of the greatest moments ever been associated Cooper said don't know I
