Boone County tailback Charles Quainoo doesnât like running in the mud.

"I hate it. It stops me from making my cuts," Quainoo said.
The mud, three inches of it or more, covering most of the playing field at Owen Hauck Stadium at Boone County, didnât stop Quainoo from piling up 203 rushing yards on 26 carries Friday night against mistake-prone Cooper.
Quainooâs performance, which included three rushing touchdowns, keyed a 26-3 Boone County victory in rainy, windy conditions that made even the most basic plays an adventure.
"I really didnât want to play in this tonight, but it wasnât my call. I got outvoted to 2-1. Our principal and our athletic director wanted to play," Boone County coach Rick Thompson said. "Both teams had to play in it. We were slipping and sliding, and they were slipping and sliding."
That didnât seem to matter much to Quainoo, who was an excellent mudder Friday.
On his second carry of the game, he zipped around left end and broke free down the far sideline and took off on an 83-yard touchdown run to give the Rebels their first score, and the lead for keeps.
Quainoo also scored on a 2-yard run later in the first quarter as the Rebels took a 14-0 lead. He added a 3-yard scoring run in the third quarter to set the final score.
It was Quainooâs second 200-yard rushing game of the season, following a 248-yard effort against Campbell County, and his sixth 100-yard performance in seven games. He went over 1,000 yards for the year, finishing the game with an unofficial season total of 1,136 yards.
"Coach said run downhill," Quainoo said. "On a muddy field like that, you just try to find a hole and get through it without falling down."
Boone County, ranked No. 6 in the Enquirer Northern Kentucky coachesâ poll, improved its record to 3-4. The Rebels are 2-1 in Class 6A district play.
"The best thing about it is, itâs over," coach Thompson said. "I thought Charles did a great job in this. He had to because there wasnât going to be a lot going on in the passing game."
Unranked Cooper fell to 2-5.
"Pretty bad playing conditions, but thatâs football in October in Kentucky," Cooper coach Randy Borchers said. "We struggled in it. And we made too mistakes on top of it."
Cooperâs punt returners and kick returners insisted on giving the team good field position, but the Jaguarsâ short-circuited several drives that carried into Boone territory with penalties.
On Cooperâs first possession of the game, Dvontae Bradleyâs 18-yard run our of the Wildcat formation, took the ball to the Boone 1-foot line. But the Jaguars were whistled for three penalties on the next four plays, resulting in a fourth-and-goal from the Boone 34 for Cooper.
The Jaguars punted, but the ball was shanked out of bounds and traveled 17 yards to the Rebelsâ 17. On the next play, Quainoo took off on his long touchdown run.
Bradley, normally a tailback, sat out Cooperâs previous game with an injury. He returned to the field as the starting quarterback Friday night, replacing injured starter Logan Schulkers. But the experiment lasted a little more than one quarter.
While at quarterback, Bradley rushed eight times for 23 yards and had trouble holding onto snaps, and lost a fumble. When Ryan Klute replaced Bradley at quarterback in the second quarter and started giving the ball to Bradley, the Jaguars seemed to click.
After he switched to tailback, Bradley, a former Rebel and a former Ryle Raider, ran 21 times for 112 yards. He finished with 135 yards on 29 carries.
"Weâve tried Bradley before in the Wildcat to loosen things up on the defense, so we thought we might be able to do some things with him out there from the start," Cooperâs coach Borchers said.
"But we decided to go back to our normal game plan with him running the ball. Unfortunately, it was pretty tough running out there."
Isaac Kainâs 26-yard field goal in the second quarter was the only score for the Jaguars

Cooper seems to really be improving. Surprised Boone beat them by such a small margin.
