Cooper Norris

By Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — Cooper Norris, a Wellington freshman, has been named Big Cheese Athlete of the Week – the first of the school year.

Norris made his high school debut in a big way, nabbing two interceptions in the Wellington secondary in a 48-7 victory over Clearwater on Friday evening. His first was in the second quarter, which got him down to the 12, setting up Wellington’s third touchdown of the game. His second was for 50 yards on a pick-six interception that gave the Crusaders an insurmountable 48-7 lead late in the fourth quarter.

For his efforts, Norris is the recipient of a large, delicious Big Cheese Pizza at 324 N. Washington.
