Westchester is back on course, beats Redondo, 76-67

Posted on by

A week and a half after losing in the City Section Division I championship basketball game, Westchester has regained its swagger and shooting touch, moving to within one victory of reaching the state championship game in Sacramento.

With Elijah Stewart scoring 30 points and the Comets making 10 three-pointers, Westchester knocked off host Redondo, 76-67, on Tuesday night in a semifinal game of the Southern California Regional Open Division playoffs.

The Comets (30-6) will play Santa Ana Mater Dei on Saturday at 8 p.m. in a regional final at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario.

Mater Dei defeated Etiwanda, 67-64, in double overtime.

There were no guarantees when the regional playoffs began that Westchester would be able to move forward after its disappointing 58-56 loss to Woodland Hills El Camino Real on March 8.

"You can't dwell on it," Coach Ed Azzam said. "Our practices the week after were not good. They're kids. They're resilient. We're capable of beating anybody and losing to anybody."

Against Redondo, the Comets made nine three-pointers in the first half

to open a 16-point halftime lead. They outscored Redondo 25-9 in the second quarter. Stewart, who

has signed with Loyola Marymount, made four threes.

Redondo (25-6) closed to within seven points in the third quarter, but Westchester built the lead back to 20 points in the fourth.

Anonymous Shelbyville Daily Union The Shelbyville Daily Union Tue Mar 18, 2014, 06:14 AM CDT

Stew-Stras 7th grade volleyball parlayed a Sacred Heart Regional Championship, a Stew-Stras Sectional Championship, and 17-5 record into an IESA 7-A State Volleyball appearance. However, in the 1st round, the Comets lost to Cissna Park (21-1-0) in straight games, 25-19, 25-20.

According to the IESA, both teams started a little tentative in the first set. Trading side-out points, before either team got into a rhythm.

The Comets made the first move. Mackenzi Tabbert served 5 straight points with three aces to give the Comets the lead. The Comets looked to set Mackenzi all over the court with her power. However, the Wildcats made a quick comeback on play up the middle by Sloan Boyce.

Boyce had a kill up the middle for a side-out and then a big block to put Cissna Park up, 23-17. The Wildcats Erica Walder put the last point up with her winning serving to take the first set. The second set Cissna Park took the early lead on the Stewardson-Strasburg, but the Comets fought back to make it a 3-point game, trailing 20-23.

Boyces net play was too much in crunch time and she served out the match.

Comets Looking for Championship Win

Posted on by

March 16, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets INDEPENDENCE, Missouri (March 16, 2014) - The Missouri Comets will play the final game of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) 2013-2014 Championship Series this afternoon at Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, MD. Missouri leads the series 1-0 after an exciting 15-8 win on Friday in the Independence Events Center. A win in Game Two would clinch the first MISL Championship team for the Comets. Should the Baltimore Blast win Game Two, an immediate 15 minute Mini-Game would be played to decide the winner.

Before Friday, no team had scored more than 12 points this season on a stingy Baltimore defense. The Comets broke through that barrier and they did it by only scoring three-point goals. Vahid Assadpour had a hat trick while Stefan St. Louis added another long-distance score and Brian Harris walked in a score from the arc. Baltimore netted two goals early on in the game but the Comets held them at four until late in to the fourth quarter.

After resting in Game One, Baltimore's regular starting goalkeeper, William Vanzela, will return for today for the Blast. The MISL's Goalkeeper of the Year finished the regular season with a 5.57 Points Against Average.

The matchup of Vanzela and Comets' Danny Waltman is one of the best the MISL has to offer. Missouri's goalkeeper has a playoff leading .750 save percentage. He finished the regular season with more wins than any other player (14) and currently leads the playoffs with three wins.

Assadpour's hat trick set a MISL Playoffs record on Friday night. He and the rest of the Comets offense will once again have to be on top of their game if they hope to bring home the MISL Championship Trophy.

Fans are encouraged to join the Comets Nation Fan Club at Coach's Bar & Grille on 103rd and Wornall on Sunday for the Official Watch Party. The game will also be shown LIVE on the Comets website at CometsIndoorSoccer.com/Live-Feed.

Comets Looking for Championship Win

Comets I, Falcons keep lofty spots

Posted on by

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

Defending champions Falcons remained unbeaten, while Comets I bounced back to keep their hold to the Top 2 spots in the Major division of the 2014 Saipan Little League Baseball League.

The Falcons shut out the Little Legals, 4-0, in last Saturdays final game at the Miguel Tan Ge Pangelinan Ballfield, while Comets I nosed out the JPO Enforcers in the second match, 6-5. The Falcons improved to a 7-0 record to lead the 15-team field, while the Comets I is lurking behind at second place with its 7-1 slate.

Closer Francisco Frederick delivered two straight strikeouts to lift Comets I to the close win. Frederick came in for Vincent Nakamura in the fourth inning with Comets I on top, 5-2. He started his shift with three walks and only two strikeouts in the first two innings and then gave up three hits at the bottom of the sixth. Rikko Lizama and Dennis Cabrera had back-to-back singles for the Enforcers and both scored off Frederick and Jessie Taitanos errors to move JPO within one, 6-5. The Enforcers got the third run off a Comets I miscue in the fifth inning.

The Enforcers notched the two runs with only one out and runners on first and second. Troy Laniyo was next at bat for the Enforcers and came up with an empty swing on his third and last attempt for the second out. Peter Litulumar suffered the same fate at the hands of Frederick to end the Enforcers chances of sending the game into extra inning.

While Comets I had to withstand the Enforcers rally, the Falcons were never threatened en route to keeping their perfect record.

Starting pitcher Arby Yaguel and reliever Max Pangelinan combined for a two-hitter to blank the Little Legals. Yaguel pitched five innings and struck out seven batters. The Little Legals got the lone hit on Yaguel at the bottom of the sixth inning with Miku Torres making a single before getting stranded, as the Falcons pitcher stuck out two more batters.

Pangelinan started the bottom of the sixth with a strikeout and though he gave up a single to the Little Legals second batter and walked the third with two outs, he quickly wrapped up the match with another strike.

Besides teaming up with Pangelinan in shutting down the Little Legals, Yaguel also contributed on the Falcons offense, as he blasted a two-run single at the top of the third. The Falcons recorded their two runs, too, in the third off Justin Cangco and Zach Reyes RBI singles.

Comets Earn 2014 MISL Championship

March 16, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) BALTIMORE - The Missouri Comets claimed the franchise's first MISL Championship in dramatic fashion on Sunday night as they took a 6-4 victory against the Baltimore Blast in Game 3 of the MISL Championship Series in front of 6,447 fans at Baltimore Arena.

Brian Harris - who took MISL Championship Series Most Valuable Player honors - scored the game-winning goal with 56.1 seconds to play as the Comets twice came back from deficits in the Game 3 mini-game to dethrone the defending champion Blast.

Game 3 proved tense early, with the Comets controlling more possession. It then sprang to life with just under seven minutes to play. The Blast took the lead with 6:32 to play as Missouri's Danny Waltman was able to parry a 3-point shot, only for Max Ferdinand to turn home a finish from close range as the ball was sent back into the penalty area by Marco Mangione.

The lead would be short-lived, though, as Lucas Rodriguez scored on a spectacular bicycle kick from the left side 56 seconds later to tie the game up 2-2. Baltimore regained the lead with less than three minutes to play, however, as Adauto Neto bulled his way through the Comets' defense before he shot low into the right corner.

That forced the Comets to pull their goalkeeper to go with the extra attacker, but their risk was rewarded with 1:34 to play as Stefan St. Louis was able to redirect home Rodriguez's shot from a restart to tie the game up again. Then, on the following shift, Harris found space on the left, and worked a perfect give-and-go with Leo Gibson before he fired home into the top-right corner of the net. The Blast would pull their goalkeeper for the remainder of the game, but were unable to find a way past Waltman as the Comets held on for victory.

The Blast had evened the series in Game 2 as they dominated the Comets in a 19-4 win. Neto led the way with a hat trick, while Mike Lookingland had three assists, to force a deciding game.

As in Game 1, the Blast got out to a fast start as Mangione opened the scoring after just 90 seconds. Baltimore would then be the beneficiaries of two unlucky deflections, as Mike Deasel and Neto, from 3-point range, saw efforts deflected into their own net by Comet defenders.

The Blast would continue to pull away as Lookingland provided the assists on goals by Ferdinand and Tony Donatelli for an 11-0 halftime lead. Neto would then score in both the third and fourth quarter to complete his hat trick as the Comets never threatened to come back.

March 16, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets BALTIMORE (March 16, 2014) - The Missouri Comets are the 2014 Major Indoor Soccer League Champions after defeating the Baltimore Blast 6-4 in Game Three of the MISL Championship Series. Brian Harris earns Championship Series MVP Honor, scoring seven points over the series and the series-winning goal in the deciding Mini-Game.

The day started with Game Two of the Series. Missouri held a 1-0 series lead after winning 15-8 on Friday night at the Independence Events Center. The Baltimore Blast, 2013 defending champions, were not ready to concede the series and came out shooting.

Marco Mangione and Mike Deasel each scored in the opening period, putting the Comets into a 4-0 deficit after the first 15 minutes. Facing a similar dilemma in the series opener, Missouri still played confidently, attacking the Blast defense whenever possible and holding their defensive positions on the Baltimore counters.

The second period of Game Two was not one the Comets will want to remember. Three goals, including two tipped in off Comets defenders, put the visitors down 11-0 at the halftime break.

The Comets were able to score twice in the second half, including a beautiful bicycle kick from Leo Gibson. However, the Blast added four goals as the Comets bunkered down for the upcoming Mini-Game and fell in Game Two, 19-4.

In the MISL Playoffs, if the series is tied after two games, it is decided by an immediate 15 minute 'Mini-Game'. It is treated as a brand new game, as the score resets back to 0-0.

In a hectic series of events, Leo Gibson, the MISL's regular season and playoff scoring champion, had a sure goal, when Blast defender Kevin Healey stepped in front. Several Comets players thought he deflected it away with his hand, but the referees signaled play to continue.

The Baltimore Blast used the confusion to bear down on the Comets goal. Danny Waltman made three spectacular saves, but was unable to get in front of the fourth shot. Baltimore led 2-0 with 6:32 remaining in the game.

The lead did not last long. Almost exactly a minute later, Stefan St. Louis chipped a pass across the field to Lucas Rodriguez whose bicycle kick shot landed far post netting.

Suddenly, the offensive gates opened. Adauto Neto snuck his way onto the Comets back post where his teammate found him for the score. However, the Comets came right back again. This time St. Louis did the scoring, tapping in a pass from Rodriguez at the back post.

Cherry Comets make their last stand

Posted on by

CHERRY The eighth-grade recognition night for the Cherry Comets volleyball team held an extra special meaning on Thursday evening.

Along with honoring its eighth-grade players, the night marked the end of an era and another last as the Cherry Comets played the last match to be held in Anton Demichelis Memorial Gymnasium. The Cherry students will be attending a new school at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year.

Cherry Grade School is being deactivated pending the referendum in Tuesdays primary election. If it is approved, the Cherry students will go to neighboring Dimmick School.

We look forward to wherever we will land, said Deb Brokaw, the Comets head coach and former Cherry School board member. There is a sense of small school pride here. Its a family.

Along with two eighth-graders, Courtney Kobold and Madison Soldati being recognized, the program also recognized Brokaw and assistant coach Jaquelynne Hendricks. Brokaw has been the head coach of the program for the past seven years while Hendricks has been helping the program for the last five years after wearing the red and white.

Its bittersweet, said Brokaw about the last match being held in the gymnasium. We have had some very good teams who practice hard.

The Cherry Comets have not quite made their last stand. They will enter Prairie Conference tournament play this week at Dalzell Grade School.

The history of the previous four years in the conference is recognized on a banner with four A team conference championships, and three B team conference championships.

According to Brokaw, her A team this year includes the two eighth-graders, one seventh-grader and three sixth-graders including her daughter, Hayleigh, and have filled some big shoes over the years.

They are tiny but mighty, said Brokaw. I couldnt be prouder of the team.
