The Melfort Comets put forth a dominant performance against the LP Miller Bears to end their regular football season on October 24, defeating their opponents 54-12. The victory, which saw the Comets finish their regular season record at 6-0, and finish atop their conference. We were fortunate to be undefeated throughout the regular season, it reflects a lot on the hard work of our players and coaches and the amount of preparation we put into every game, Comets head coach, Doug Rogers said following the game. The Comets established an early lead after failing to convert on their first possession. After scoring a touchdown on their next possession, Melfort dominated their opponents on both sides of the ball, extending their lead to 47-0 at the end of the first half. Melfort continued to pile on the points in the second half, adding one more touchdown in the fourth quarter to extend their lead, and put the game out of reach for the Bears. The Comets will host the Meadow Lake Spartans in the Provincial Quarter-Final on November 1. Rogers said that while the victory was a nice touch to their perfect season, he felt they still have room to improve ahead of next Saturdays matchup. I think in the first half we played a good football game, we didnt play a great football game. We have room to improve, offensively, on our execution to begin with, he said. Theres a couple things to clean up on offense and theres always room to improve. When youre through improving, in any sort of sport, thats when youre through. Melfort and Meadow Lake met in the Provincial Semi-Finals in 2011, which saw the Comets advance to the Provincial Championships. Rogers said he expects to see a competitive game when the two teams square off. I wouldnt be surprised to see a motivated, fired-up Meadow Lake Spartans team, who comes in and gives us a good, challenging football game, he said.
