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.
