Season Opener

Comets Stun St. Paul 35-20

   The Comets offense didn't wait very long to get rolling as the 2001 season opened Friday night in Covington against the St. Paul Wolves. The offense scored on three of its first four possessions and amassed over 300 total yards as the Comets  went on to to claim a 35-20 win over the big and physical 5-A Wolves. 
   The Comets defense intercepted three passes in the game with Anthony Jacob, Jerry Gair, and Derek Mayeux each getting one pic to halt St. Paul scoring drives.
   The Comets offense rolled on its second possession with quarterback Jason Waguespack completing 4 straight passes with a big one going to John Bordelon  for 18 yards to the 5 yard line.Shane Waite swept around left end for the first touchdown and Waguespack's PAT gave SCC a 7-0 lead. St Paul answered with a nice 70 yard drive and tied the score at 7.
   On the next possession the Comets offense rolled deep into Wolve territory with Waguespack scoring on a 14 yard run. The 14-7 lead did not last long as St Paul once again answered scoring with 2 minutes left in the half to tie the game at 14.
   The Comet two minute offense went to work and marched down the field with passing and running led by Waguespack. This time Waguespack connected with wide receiver Matt Boucvalt who danced in from 9 yards out on a screen play. The Comet led 21-14 at the half.
   St. Paul took the second half kickoff and marched 65 yards for a score. The drive was aided by 45 yards in penalties and narrowed the Comets lead to 21-20. But the Comet offense did not take long to get rolling again this time marching 70 yards with Waguespack connecting with Boucvalt again this time for 14 yards and another touchdown. Waguespack's PAT gave the Comets a 28-20 lead.
   The Comet defense which had struggled early in the game turned up the heat in the second half as Anthony Jacob intercepted a St. Paul pass to give the Comet offense another scoring opportunity. It was the Waguespack-Boucvalt connection that clicked again this time for 6 yards and another touchdown. The PAT put the Comets on top 35-20. 
   Jerry Gair and Derek Mayeux's interceptions closed the door on St Paul's final two drives and sealed the Wolves fate.
   Waguespack was 15-19 for 238 yards and three touchdown passes and scored once on a 14 yard run. Matt Boucvalt had 8 receptions for 111 yards and three scores.
   The Comets will begin a four game home stand next week hosting  Grace King at Dupuy stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
