Homecoming win
Comets shut-out Lions 42-0
Big plays on test defense and special
teams propelled the Comets to their 5th straight win and 3rd straight
shutout --a 42-0 homecoming win over the Booker T Washington Lions Friday
night at Dupuy stadium. The game marked the conclusion of non-district
play but with the new power point system in place for the playoffs every
win is as important as the other. The Comets open district play next week
in Thibodaux against the E. D. White Cardinals.
Defensive back Jerry Gair picked
off an errant Lion pass and rambled 58 yards down the left sideline for a
touchdown. The play came at a good time as the Lions were
effective on their opening drive using a slow down ball control offense against
the Comets.
The Comets stopped the Lions on their next possession and
forced a punt. The Comet offense which was on the sideline most of the
night, drove 76 yards on 7 plays for a touchdown. Todd Babin ran in from
one yard out to put the Comets on top 13-0. Waguespack's second PAT gave
the Comets a 14-0 lead at the end of the 1st quarter.
Seconds into the second quarter Comet cornerback John Howard intercepted
a pass and returned it for an apparent touchdown. But the Comets were
guilty of clipping on the return. A few plays later Waguespack connected
with John Bordelon on a 20 yard scoring strike. The PAT put the Comets on
top 21-0 early in the second quarter.
After three plays netted 2 yards for the Lions, Chris
Cancienne blocked a punt (his 3rd of the year) and Steven Ramirez
recovered for a Comet touchdown. The PAT put the Comets on top 28-0.
A fake punt helped the Lions sustain an 11 play drive on their next possession
which ate up most of the rest of the time in the second quarter. But late
in the quarter Matt Boucvalt hauled in a screen pass from Waguespack and
danced into the endzone from 10 yards out. The PAT put the Comets up 35-0
at the half.
The second half was marked by penalties on both teams. After a scoreless
third quarter, the Comets scored their final touchdown on a 9 yard run by
freshman Tyrell Fenroy. The PAT made the final 42-0. The touchdown was
set-up by another blocked punt this one by Steven Ramirez. The Comets recovered
and Fenroy scored on the next play.
The Comet offense had only 33 snaps in the game which had a total
of 18 penalties called on the two teams.
Next Friday the Comets travel to Thibodaux to face district rival
E. D. White. It will be the 10-AAA opener for both teams. The Cardinals
are 4-1 with their only loss to South Terrebonne 7-0. The game represents
an opportunity for the Comets to gain respect against a quality opponent
on the road in a hostile environment. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
