Lamar Democrat/Chris Morrow Lamar senior Cooper Lucas came up big for his team in the Class 2 semifinal, scoring the Tigers lone touchdown and racking up tackles at his defensive end position, but make no mistake, beating a talented team like Lutheran North on their field on a cold windy day requires a complete team effort. Here he runs for a gain. Out in front of him is Landon Hardman (#24) and TW Ayers (#41). The Tigers won the contest 7-6 to advance to the state title game, where they are looking for a seventh straight state title.
