COMETS SNUFFED AT SOUTH BEND, STILL IN HUNT
With a chance to grab a playoff berth for the first time in more than five years, the Comets saw their three game winning streak end with a resounding thud in a 41-8 loss at Crogstad Field.
"They thumped us," said Naselle head coach Robin Andrea. "Their defense wouldn't let us do anything."
It's not that the Comets couldn't move the ball, as they compiled over 200 yards of offense. They just couldn't move far without giving the ball back to South Bend. Naselle lost four fumbles and quarterback Kyle Burkhalter struggled through a tough night, completing just 5 of his 14 passes for 42 yards and two interceptions.
South Bend took command with a 28-point second quarter, opening up a 35-0 halftime lead. Speedy quarterback Randy Eang, a 4-year starter, tossed two first-half touchdown passes and ran in a 2-point conversion. Eang rushed for 57 yards on 11 carries to go with 58 yards through the air. Brian Yi collected a screen pass from Eang and ran 25 yards to paydirt to put the Tribe on the board in the first quarter. Yi later added a 5-yard touchdown run.
The Indians built a 41-0 lead after three quarters. South Bend had a 18-8 edge in first downs.
Naselle finally scored in the fourth quarter when Nick Hines, who replaced injured quarterback Kyle Burkhalter in the second half, hooked up with Jeremy Ray on a 26-yard touchdown pass.
Thanks to Tacoma Baptist's resounding win over Raymond, Naselle is still alive in the playoff hunt. The Comets host Ocosta Wednesday night at Pentilla Field in the final regular season games, needing a win over the Wildcats to force a 3-way tie for third place. South Bend clinched a playoff berth with the victory.
