Coaches Comments: Cole had a tremendous sophomore season and helped lead us to a school record for Wins (12), another District XI Championship and a birth into the Stte Semifinals. He had big shoes to fill after Tre Jordan graduated and Cole utilized the senior laden group we had last year to help him execute our offense and start his own legacy. I was proud of his work ethic and his willingness to learn and improve in our system. He will now become one of our key leaders on the team even as a Junior. He stepped into the natural leadership role of QB last year and did a fine job for us and I have no doubt it will continue the remainder of his career. He has success because he works hard and has the ability and talent level to keep NDGP football moving forward to the top.
