stay undefeated with 3-0 record

The Comet defense limited the H.L. Bourgeois Braves to 92 yards total offense as the Comets posted their second shut-out of the year in a 29-0 win Friday night at Terrebonne stadium in Houma. It was the third staright win over a 5-A opponent for the Comets who have scored 116 points while allowing only 7 in three games.

The Comet offense usually off to a fast start did not do so Friday night. After moving deep into Brave territory on the first drive of the game, the Comets missed a short field goal. The rest of the first half became a defensive battle until the final two minutes.

The Comets took over on the 40 yard line of the Braves with 1:19 left before half. Five plays later they faced a 2nd and 10 from the 18 when quarterback Philip Sutton connected with Chase  Fletcher in the corner of the endzone. Sutton connected with tight end Donovan Duffy on a two point conversion gving the Comets a 8-0 lead at the half.

It didn't take long for the Comets to get on the scoreboard in the second half as junior running back Jonathan Cancienne ran 85 yards on the first play of the second half. Chris Ilski's PAT put the Comets ahead 15-0. The play seemed to ignite the Comet offense which went on to score two more times in the quarter builiding a 29-0 lead going into the fourth quarter.

Cancienne rushed for 175 yards and three touchdowns scoring on runs of 9 and 2 yards following his 85 yard run. The Comet defense continued to dominate posting its second shut-out of the year. Defnsive Jordan Millet intercepted a pass in the second half in the game's only turnover.

The Comets host a 2-1 Pine Red Raider team next Friday at Dupuy stadium. The game will be the first played under the new lighting system installed this past week.
