Cook steps down at Osborne

After three years in the position, Derek Cook stepped down as Osborne’s football coach. The longtime Cobb County coach went 3-27 during his tenure with the program, including a 1-9 record this season. While the number of wins may not have been to his liking, Cook said appreciated his time at Osborne and the chance to build the relationships with his players. “I’m thankful to be the head coach at Osborne,” Cook said. “I thank (principal) Dr. (Troy) Jones for the opportunity, and I can’t say enough about the young men and the different challenges they overcame. I felt like we had a great coaching staff, and it was just unfortunate we didn’t produce more victories.” The Osborne job was Cook’s third head-coaching position within the county. He started with two years at South Cobb, where he went 9-12 from 2006-07, then made his mark in building Kell into a perennial postseason contender. In Cook’s season with the Longhorns, he went 89-23. During that stretch, Kell made the postseason all nine seasons, won four region championships and made the quarterfinals four times, with two trips to the state semifinals. Cook, whose career record is 101-62, said he hopes to get

Longhorns get big test with Houston County

Friday’s first-round Class AAAAAA playoff matchup will pit Kell’s depth against Houston County’s star quality. The Bears (5-5) feature Colorado State-committed running back Austin Stinson, who has rushed for 1,727 yards and 24 touchdowns, and highly recruited wide receiver Jeffery Thomas, who has 979 yards and 10 touchdowns on 72 receptions. “They have a really special running back and a big offensive line,” said Kell coach Bobby May. “For us, we need to stop their best players and take away what they do best. There are still some other players who can make plays, but we feel like if we can make them get to their third option, we’ll feel really confident.” The Longhorns (8-2) counter with Georgia Tech commit Moonie Gipson at running back, who is nearing 100% after rehabbing the ankle injury he suffered in last season's playoffs. Gipson has 612 yards and 11 touchdowns, but the Longhorns also have two other ballcarriers with more than 400 yards rushing this season. Senior wide receiver Brock Burrus has committed to West Virginia and has a 1,000-yard season, but junior quarterback Boston Pierce, Cobb County's leading passer, has completed passes to 10 different receivers. Burrus averages 27.5 yards a reception
