Na­pari­ma Col­lege stu­dent Cephas Coop­er cre­at­ed a Sec­ondary Schools record when he smashed 297 runs against Bar­rack­pore West in the Pre­mier­ship di­vi­sion at Lewis Street in San Fer­nan­do, yes­ter­day.

Coop­er’s bril­liant ef­fort took his school to a mas­sive 394-run win. He went past Kirstan Kallicha­ran’s ef­fort of 194 for Vish­nu Boys in 2013.

At that time, Kallicha­ran went past a long­stand­ing record set by Bri­an Lara for the high­est in­di­vid­ual score of 168. A cou­ple sea­sons ago, Kalicha­ran scored an un­beat­en 404 not out against Va­len­cia. How­ev­er, this was in the SS­CL un­der-14 di­vi­sion.

Coop­er’s ef­fort is now the high­est score in the school’s top flight Pre­mier­ship. The right-han­der opened the bat­ting and was dis­missed stumped with still eight overs to go. He left the are­na for 297 made off 142 balls with 32 fours and 12 six­es. His ef­fort took Na­pari­ma Col­lege to a mam­moth 506 for four off their 50 overs.

In re­sponse, a shell-shocked Bar­rack­pore out­fit could muster on­ly 112 – with Ryan Ban­doo tak­ing 5/23, Math­ew Coop­er, Cephas’ broth­er tak­ing 2/28.
