Whenever Cohen Cook becomes eligible for the Mainland Regional High and South Jersey halls of fame, he’s sure to be a first-ballot inductee.
One of the best athletes to ever wear the Kelly green, Cook certainly had a senior season to remember.
On the football field, all he did was lead Mainland to a perfect 14-0 record and a state championship as a key contributor at linebacker and running back. During the basketball season, he led Mainland to 26 wins and a berth in the Cape-Atlantic League championship game. He also finished as Mainland’s all-time leading scorer in boys basketball.
And on the baseball diamond, the Press of Atlantic City Male Athlete of the Year batted .333 with 25 runs scored while leading the Stangs to 20 wins and a league championship.
