The MUCC Comets senior boys basketball team traveled to Nipawin for the LP Miller Bears Classic on January 16 and 17 and came home with the title. The Comets are rounding into form at this point in the season. The coaching staff has been working hard on improving the team in practice Weve been working hard to focus on improving our weaknesses. Tim Johnstone and I have a discussion about where our weaknesses lie, or what we need to be focusing on each week and try to mix up practices to help our kids improve, Comets coach Mitch Taylor said. The players are buying in, which is leading to the Comets recent success. Our players are working hard in practices and are focusing on minimizing weakness. Its great to be working with a group of players who are striving to get better each time they step on the court, he explained. The Comets clinched the title by defeating the host LP Miller Bears 68-32 in Saturday afternoons final. They advanced to the final after going 2-0 in pool play. Melfort opened with a 75-25 victory over Carrot River on Friday afternoon and defeated Hudson Bay 85-41 on Saturday.
