WRIGHT TWP. In front of their huge home crowd, the Crestwood Comets accomplished something thats never been in their programs history.

The Comets, who have been around for 47 seasons, since 1968, finished off a perfect 10-0 regular season with a dominating 50-20 victory over the Pottsville Crimson Tide on Friday night.

Crestwood, which already clinched the top spot in the District 2 3A playoff, will host Dallas, who beat Lake-Lehman 27-26, in the first round next week.

The Comets powerful rushing attack totaled 262 yards and six touchdowns from the ground alone.

The Comets were led by senior running back, Frank Aigeldinger, who rushed for a team-high 89 yards and on first quarter three-yard touchdown, hit a career milestone, rushing for over 4,000 yards in his standout career.

Fellow senior, starting quarterback, Jay Popson, also made an impact during the game, both with his arm and legs. He ran for 56 yards on just 5 carries, including a 34-yard touchdown run right at the buzzer to end the first half and give his Comets a 36-7 advantage heading into the locker room.

Popson added another rushing touchdown to start the scoring in the second half, and threw for 194 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown pass to junior wideout Connor Sheloski.

The Crestwood defense kept the Crimson Tides passing attack in check most of the game. Sophomore Lance Blass had two big interceptions, one of which brought the ball to the 2-yard line to set up another Comets touchdown.

Pottsvilles senior quarterback, Patrick Keatings 156 yards was enough to push him over 1,000 passing yards this season. Keating connected on a 76-yard touchdown pass to Eric Wapinsky in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide could night avoid finishing their first winless season at 0-10 since the 1958 campaign.
