The Halifax County High School varsity boys soccer team broke a 2-2 halftime deadlock and edged Heritage High School 4-3 in a pre-season scrimmage Monday night in Lynchburg.

We played well as a team and possessed the ball very well for the first game of the season, said Comets Head Coach Brian Hall.

We had great composure. I didnt feel a lot of pressure. I moved the guys around a lot and subbed quite often trying to figure out our starting lineup. These guys played hard and are practicing with a purpose. Im proud of them, and I know well continue to improve.

The Comets got two goals from Ford Morrison in the first half, both coming with assists from Nick Rosche, as the two teams finished the first half in a 2-2 deadlock.

In the second half, the Comets got a goal from Rosche to put the Comets up 3-2. Heritage High School scored a goal to tie the game, and the Comets got a goal on a free kick by Tristin Yesalavich for the game-winner.

The Comets open regular-season play Friday, March 17 with a home contest against Appomattox. Game time will be 7 p.m., with the game following the junior varsity contest, which will start at 5:30 p.m.
