10-AAA Title Game

Comets defeat Bulldogs 24-7 

      From start to finish the St Charles -Lutcher game offered everything it was supposed to- solid football teams battling in the 10-AAA title game looking to maintain high rankings in the AAA power ratings and garner momentum heading into the playoffs next week. In the fourth quarter as the fog moved in Dupuy stadium it was the Comets who took control of the game with 14 unanswered points and a defense that became more and more dominant as the game wound to a close. The result was a convincing 24-7 win for the Comets who claimed their  first district title since 1992.
    The Comets conclude the regular season with a 9-1 overall record and 3-1 record in 10-AAA. The Comets finished 8th in the state AAA power ratings and will host the 25th seed Cecilia Bulldogs (click here for Cecilia football facts)  Friday night in LaPlace. 
   The win against Lutcher also had special meaning for Comet head coach Frank Monica as it was his 100th career high school win. Ironically it was against the school that gave him his first win and 36 out of his 100 victories. 
  The game started off with the Comets missing out on two scoring opportunities deep in Bulldog territory. Jerry Gair forced fumble on a punt that was recovered by Travis Trepagnier. Three plays later it appeared that the Comets scored  on a 1 yard run.  But the referee did not call the touchdown and when Babin placed the ball on  the ground Lutcher recovered for a touchback.
  The games first scored was setup by a interception by Bulldog defensive back Darwin Strong who returned the ball into Comet territory. The Bulldogs drove to the one were Tyronne Martin bulled over from the one. The PAT gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead.
  Late in the first half, the Comet held Lutcher on their own two yard line following a great punt by Kevin Blank. The Comets took over on the Bulldog 38 yard line. Five plays later the Comets scored on a 25 yard pass from Jason Waguespack to John Bordelon. The PAT knotted the score at 7 at the end of the first half.
  In the 3rd quarter the Comets stopped Lutcher on their first possession. After moving deep into Lutcher territory, a drive stalled and Waguespack kicked a 23 yard field goal to put the Comets on top10-7. 
  Early in the fourth quarter the Comets seized control of the game. The big offensive play was a 73  run by Todd Bain on a nicely blocked trap play. Two plays later Waguespack connected with Bordelon again this time from 7 yards out. The Comets lead swelled to 17-7 with the PAT.
  On the first play after the kickoff Jerry Gair intercepted a Lutcher pass and raced 24 yards down the sidelines to the Bulldog 6 yard line. Two plays later it was the Waguespack to Bordelon connection again from 7 yards out. With 8:28 left in the game the Comets lead increased to 24-7.
  The Comet defense which had played well all night long refused to bend late in the game forcing a 7th punt by the Bulldogs. The Comet offense, relying on the pass most of the night, began to run the ball on a tiring Lutcher defense. The Comets were able to kill most of the remaining time in the game with their running game.
  The Comets dominated the statistical battle allowing Lutcher only 103 yards total offense while piling up over 300 yards against the highly rated Bulldog defense.
