VELMA VELMA Six Stephens County schools, Comanche, Bray-Doyle, Velma-Alma, Central, Marlow and Comanche, had teams in the semifinals on Thursday at Velma.

In the most pressure-packed game of the night, No. 2 Velma-Alma pulled off a heart-stopping 61-60 victory against No. 3 Central High. It gave the Comets their 10th straight victory with them rallying from behind yet again.

With starting point guard sophomore Ian Hickman and senior Kevin Harris sitting down for an extended time with four fouls each, it seemed impossible the Bronchos led the Comets 31-28 at halftime.

Then again, it also seemed impossible senior John Repp would hit a buzzer-beating half-court heave before the break, but he did. It capped off his 17-point half, and Velma-Alma assistant coach Bobby Moore was disappointed the Comets didnt take better advantage of their chances.

With their two stars on the bench, we should have been taking off a lot more, Moore said. Their reserves and whole team effort did a really good job of keeping them in the game.

In the last matchup of the two teams, a 55-50 Comet victory in the Black Diamond Final, everything went right for the Bronchos in the first half. This time almost everything went wrong, but the three-point shooting bailed Central High out. The visitors made 11 long bombs with the last one coming as time expired.

Thats remarkable, pretty crazy right there, Moore said. Youve just got to take your hat off to them. If they are going to shoot that well, theyre going to be hard to beat.

The Comets grabbed the lead at 41-39 with 2:12 left in the third quarter and fought to keep it for most of the remaining time. The crucial point came when senior Jaz Gayanich, who had 15 points missed a free-throw to put his Comets up by four with 18 seconds left. It could have been a dire situation with the Bronchos on fire from behind the arc all night, but sophomore Jake McGuire muscled out the rebound.

After a timeout, the Bronchos fouled senior Connor Sullivan, who nailed the front end of the one and one to put the game away. Though he made the critical free-throw, Sullivan credited the win to McGuires rebound.

Jakes such a big guy, when he gets a chance at a rebound, hes most likely going to get the ball, Sullivan said.

Comets, Indians move to Stephens County finals

January 23, 2014 - American Hockey League (AHL) Utica Comets Though many may initially overlook it, Comets forward Cal O'Reilly has been an integral part of the roster since he was signed to an SPC (standard player contract) back in November. To date, O'Reilly has recorded 15 points (3-12-15) in 20 games played with the Comets. O'Reilly also has the highest +/- rating on the team (4) and hasn't seen any time in the box, as he is the only player currently on the Comets roster with no penalty minutes.

When asked if these factors have contributed to his success with the team, O'Reilly replied, "I do think my game is getting better. I'm not exactly where I think I can play, but I'm improving every game." He also finds it important to focus on both offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Even though he plays center for the Comets, O'Reilly explains that he "takes pride in both ends of the ice," which explains why he's tied for third in assists on the team with 12. O'Reilly is a smart, selfless player who takes his time with the puck in order to make the best decision possible, even under times of pressure.

It is no mere coincidence that O'Reilly shines on the ice. Hockey genes run in his family, as his younger brother, Ryan O'Reilly, currently plays for the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL, where he has recorded 33 points in 46 games (18-15-33). "Having my brother to play hockey with growing up was great," O'Reilly said. "My sisters played hockey as well. Even my parents would come and play sometimes when we were young. It was definitely something our family enjoyed doing and incorporating into our lives."

Cal O'Reilly has been active in professional hockey since 2006, and spent the 2012-13 and part of this season with the Magnitogorsk Metallurg of the KHL. Ironically, Ryan O'Reilly also spent part of the 2012-13 season playing for Magnitogorsk during the NHL lockout. "It was unfortunate that we never got to play together in Russia," Cal O'Reilly explained. "I got hurt and came home for a bit right when he got there. By the time I got back he was already back with Colorado." Now that both brothers are playing in the states, they are able to keep in touch more often. "We're pretty close, but it's obviously easier to be over the summer when we train together," he said.

While he may not be a fighter, Cal O'Reilly has proved to be one of the smartest guys on the ice for the Comets in their inaugural season. A humble player, he credits the success to his fellow teammates. "I'm playing with great players who contribute to the fact that I have no PIMs and a good +/- rating. It's definitely a team effort."

Comets Corner with Playmaker Cal O'Reilly

The Abbotsford Heat and Utica Comets have been at opposite ends of the AHL standings throughout the 2013-14 campaign, but you'd never guess based on their recent head-to-head match-ups.

The Comets (13-20-5), Western Conference cellar-dwellers all season long, have been awfully hard on the Heat, despite the fact that Abbotsford (26-14-2) has occupied the upper reaches of the standings.

The Heat won their first two games vs. the Vancouver Canucks' new affiliate this season, but the Comets have since fashioned a four-game win streak vs. Abbotsford, including three victories in regulation.

Heat head coach Troy Ward believes a variety of factors have played into his team's recent results against Utica. The Comets are a big, physical, veteran outfit, and as such are a tough match-up for Abby's smallish forward corps. There's also a timing factor the Heat's recent dates vs. Utica have coincided with team slumps and NHL recalls.

Ward also believes his squad has played better at times against the Comets than the final score has indicated on Dec. 20, for instance, the coaching staff had the scoring chances at 12-8 for the Heat, but they lost 3-0 with an empty-net goal.

"It becomes almost a mental thing, like, 'Oh here we go, it's Utica, we suck against these guys,'" Ward said earlier this week, looking ahead to Friday-Saturday match-ups with the Comets at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (7 p.m. start both nights).

"It isn't like they've dominated us. It's just timeliness of goals, our maturity level, and the fact we've played them when we haven't been all that healthy mentally."

"The best way I can say it is, they're a professional hockey team with professional athletes, and so are we. You've got to be ready for everybody, and anybody can beat anybody on a given night."
