Emotionless

The guys at McEachern (GA) High were short one basketball at practice this season. It was all Sharife Cooper’s fault.

The 6-0, 160-pound motor that makes McEachern go, Cooper has spent most of the 2018-19 season making his case as the best point guard in the 2020 class. He’s never the most physically imposing guy on the court, but his his competitiveness—means he’s usually the best. If you’ve seen him play, you know his killer instinct is subtle, apparent in his numbers and his team’s record, but rarely on his own face. As his coach Mike Thompson says, “He’s never been one where you see any kind of emotion.”
