MELFORT-

The Bears gave up a safety on their first possession and Melfort quickly added another touchdown. After the Bears went two and out the Comets scored again and led 23-0 just four minutes into the game.

After the Comets scored again some younger players started logging time on the field.

The score was 44-0 at halftime.

The Bears scored their first points of the game at the very end of the third quarter. The conversion missed leaving them trailing 47-6.

They added another touchdown late in the fourth quarter. This time the two-point conversion was good, cutting Melforts lead to 47-14.

With only 23 seconds remaining in the game the Bears scored again.

This time the two-point conversion missed and the game ended at 47-20.

The Comets have a bye next week but are preparing for a rematch with the Humboldt Mohawks in Melfort on October 17.

High school football: Comets lower homecoming boom on Bison

Posted on by

Rapid City Christian celebrated a very literal homecoming with a lopsided win over undermanned Bison.

Playing for the first time this season at Kelly John Duininck Field, the Comets got their offense on track very early and scored on all but one possession en route to a 58-8 rout of the Cardinals on Friday night.

It was fun to be at home, having our home crowd with us and playing on the beautiful field we have here, said Comets quarterback Paul McLaughlin, who ran for a touchdown, threw for two more and caught a 63-yard scoring pass from Jadd Evans to end the game at the end of the second quarter.

Ive got to give God credit first, and then our linemen. They were incredible. They gave me great time in the pocket and made great holes for our running backs. They won the game for us, McLaughlin said.

Evans intercepted a pass and also caught a McLaughlin toss for a touchdown. Jordan Graper ran for a pair of touchdowns and a conversion. Brennan Udager also scored for the Comets, who improved to 4-1 after a 50-0 humbling at Faith last week.

We needed to get started fast, Comets coach Cory Graper said. Last week, not a whole lot went well for us. We needed to make up for it this week.

The Comets opened with four straight games on the road, including a trip to Deadwood to play in the Prospector Bowl, a 38-0 shutout of Newell on Sept. 13

Week 2 was supposed to be here, but we accepted a Prospector Bowl invite, so we went to Deadwood for that. Its been four weeks on the road, so its nice to be home, Graper said.

Coach Wayne Sanders said the Cardinals had to regroup after a slew of injuries last week, particularly the loss of starting quarterback Ethan Anderson.

We had two or three kids hurt after last week and it just killed us, Sanders said. The kids played hard and thats all you can do.

Comets push No. 3 West Delaware in 20-14 loss

Posted on by

CHARLES CITY | On paper, Friday nights Class 3A, District 3 clash between third-ranked West Delaware and Charles City looked like it could be a competitive game as the two teams both entered the contest undefeated in district play.

The battle lived up to the hype as West Delaware held off Charles City 20-14, improving to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in district play while the Comets fell to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the district.

What we take away from this game is that were legit, Charles City coach Darren Bohlen said. Were a good team. We showed that we can compete for a district title. We fell a little short but we still have other opportunities. We have to win out and hope that West Delaware gets knocked off by a team here, which could happen. A district title is still not out of the question.

After forcing the Hawks to punt on their first possession, the Comets went 66 yards in nine plays as Levi Blaine scored on a 31-yard touchdown run with 6 minutes, 9 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

Blaine, who threw for 60 yards and ran for a team-high 110 yards on 14 carries, gave the Comets their only lead as West Delaware scored three times in the first half including twice in the final four minutes to take a 20-6 halftime lead.

We were doing a great job in the first half but we gave up a few too many big plays that athletes make sometimes, Bohlen said. We didnt score and then they came down and scored at the end. That little stretch of the game right there was the difference. We were in their territory and didnt score and then they scored right before the half.

On their final drive of the half, the Comets turned the ball over on downs with 1:54 remaining at the West Delaware 36 before Brent Lammers connected with Austin Bishop for a 17-yard touchdown strike with 3 seconds remaining.

Lammers, who also threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to Dallyn Putz and ran for a 1-yard score, had 50 yards on the ground while adding 144 yards through the air.

However, Lammers had just 11 yards passing in the second half while the Comets limited Coy Roussell, who ran for a game-high 115 yards on 22 carries, to 43 yards in the second half.

Our defense did a great job containing the quarterback and the tailback, Bohlen said. On film, they spread it out a little bit but they tried power running. We showed that teams arent going to be able to run it down our throats. We bent a little but we didnt break.

Comets Announce Promotional Schedule for 2014-15

Comets burn through Go-Hawks

Posted on by

CHARLES CITY | Charles City volleyball hasn't been short on star power in recent years.

This season, first-year head coach Donna Forsyth is finding new ways to expand her arsenal of weapons. Iowa State commit Hali Hillegas has become a go-to hitter in addition to working as a setter within a system change to a two-setter, 6-2 rotation.

Thursday night in Charles City, Hillegas recorded 18 kills on .412 hitting to go with 21 assists and four aces as Class 4A's No. 4-rated Comets prevailed in four sets over Northeast Iowa Conference rival Waverly-Shell Rock, 25-13, 25-23, 27-29, 25-18.

First-year Charles City setter Meagan Miller, a player Forsyth praised for her good hands, also made a difference across the board as she tallied a triple-double of 13 kills, 20 assists and 12 digs. Hillegas worked numerous quick sets to middle Jamie Sindlinger, who added 13 kills and 6.5 blocks.

"I think switching to a 6-2, it's really helped us in a good way," Hillegas said. "Everyone is still figuring out where to go and where not to go, but I think it's definitely helped us positively.

"Throughout club season, I hit and I set. So I think just bringing it back to school ball is an easier transition for me, and I think my team counts on me more."

The win pulled Charles City (21-3) one step closer to securing a Northeast Iowa Conference regular season title that has been traded back-and-forth with Waverly-Shell Rock throughout the years. The Comets have now won seven of their last eight matches over Waverly-Shell Rock, including two victories in the state tournament.

"Before, they always beat us and beat us and now finally everything is turning around," Hillegas said, addressing her program's recent run of success. "I think playing in bigger tournaments has helped us here a lot, knowing that we can actually do it no matter what kind of crowd."

Forsyth was pleased with the end result, but disappointed with the manner in which Charles City got to the finish line. The Comets cruised through the first set as Hillegas pounded seven kills to the ground, but struggled to close out the final three frames.

Waverly-Shell Rock (16-15) rallied from down 8-1 to tie set two at 23 before a pair of miscues gave the frame to the Comets.

Comets Fall to Penguins in Pre Season Opener

Posted on by

October 2, 2014 - American Hockey League (AHL) Utica Comets The Utica Comets opened up their three-game preseason schedule with a 4-2 loss at the hands of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, PA on Wednesday night.

Carter Bancks and rookie Brendan Gaunce netted goals for the Comets, while Jacob Markstrom turned aside 23 of 27 shots faced in his Comets debut. Conor Sheary led the way for the Penguins with three points (1-2-3) on the night.

The Penguins got on the board 10:13 into the first period when Sheary fired a shot on Comets goaltender Jacob Markstrom who made the initial stop. Sheary picked up the rebound and fed a pass over to Bryan Rust in the slot, who buried a one-timer.

Scott Wilson added a power-play goal later in the first to extend the Penguins lead to 2-0. Jayson Megna cleanly won the face-off in the Comets zone to Wilson, who ripped a shot through traffic and past Markstrom.

Just 1:44 into the second period, the Penguins found the back of the net again after Sheary lifted a rebound over the extended pad of Markstrom, to inflate their lead to 3-0. Bryan Rust recorded an assist with his initial shot on net.

Carter Bancks recorded the first goal of the 2014-15 preseason for the Comets with a slapshot off the post and into Mike Murray's net. 2006 first round draft pick Bobby Sanguinetti recorded an assist on the goal.

The Penguins got their final tally of the evening, on a blast from the blue line from Nick D'Agnostino that found its way through traffic and past Markstrom 7:45 into the final period.

Brendan Gaunce concluded the night's scoring with just 1:05 left to play in the game. The 2012 first round draft pick took a feed from Stefan Legien and beat Murray for his first goal as a Comet.

The Comets are back in action Friday night as they take on the Adirondack Flames at the sold out John F. Kennedy Arena in Rome, NY at 7pm.

Workington Comets' Glasgow fixture rearranged

Posted on by

Last updated at 09:39, Thursday, 02 October 2014

Workington Comets trip across the border to Glasgow this weekend has been postponed until the end of the month.

Comets Premier League meeting with Glasgow Tigers, set for Sunday, will now be staged on October 26 at 3pm.

They would have been without Josh Grajczonek through injury and Rene Bach is also out on Polish League duty while Joe Jacobs is wanted by Mildenhall for their National League play-offs fight.

The Tigers would also have been missing Victor Palovaara, Kevin Wolbert and ex-Comet Rusty Harrison, so it was mutually agreed to push back the meeting.

The rearranged fixture will be Comets last away trip and final league fixture of the 2014 season and they are hoping to field something close to a full-strength team.

Laura Morgan, Workington owner, said: Of course you always want to see good, competitive racing. We also want the fans to see what they havent had much of a chance to see this season, which is Workington racing with a full seven.
