Drawing in a huge crowd, the Comets and Lady Comets played in their first round of the State Championships on March 5, 2016. Both teams had an unimaginable number of friends, family members, and peers to come cheer them on. Both teams put on a great show; some say it was the most exciting game they’ve seen this year. Even though their seasons ended here, the Comets and Lady Comets put forth a commendable season.
The Lady Comets put their strengths to the test against Bethlehem Catholic. The enthusiasm was incredible and their energy level never dropped. The girls were able to recover after every missed basket. The team wasted no time on each inbound play and made their way up and down the court with intense speed. Their defense carried them a long way which wore their opposing team down. Passes were crisp and plays were carried out cleanly. Disregarding all the technical aspects of the game, the Lady Comets proved their love for the game, but more importantly their love for the team. Every basket made was accompanied by a roar from the bench as well as cheer from their fans. Words and acts of encouragement were shared during timeouts, after a free throw, after a good play, and all the other spare seconds in between. Finishing out the fourth quarter, the team didn’t let their heads hang low; they played until the end and gave it everything they had. With heavy hearts the girls let out a few tears together, but it’s safe to say that the Lady Comets will have incredible memories to look back on.
The Comets went all in during their game against J.P. McCaskey. The boys fought long and hard. It wasn’t easy to guard the outside shots of the McCaskey point guard who has multiple D1 offers, but the boys were able to make some key free-throws to keep them in the game. The tenacity and determination of the boys was unbelievable. The Comets proved themselves to be a crowd favorite as they had multiple chants going all through the game. The Comets played with every bit of energy they had inside. With a few spectacular dunks and uncomparable ball handling, they were able to prove the incredible talent they possess. It was a whirlwind of a game. The team played smart and strong. The Comets read McCaskey’s defense and adjusted their offense to make their way around it. The boys took it strong to the basket every time they drove through. The Comets had their fans on the edge of the bleachers when they brought their score up to be down by only a basket. They kept it close and exciting, and even when calls didn’t go their way, they showed their sportsmanship by brushing it off, getting back up, and setting up for the next play. A season like this will be unforgettable for a team that gave it their all.
Now that the basketball season has ended, fans can look back at all the big moments the Comets and Lady Comets had. Teams like these two, with such talent, tenacity, and a true love for the game, foreshadow great seasons to come. To our seniors, we thank you for all you’ve given to your team and your fans. Legendary teams, incredible seniors, unforgettable seniors.
