A young news editor once told the story: "Sports are like hunting bear with a switch," she said in her Arkansas drawl. "Sometimes you get the bear; sometimes the bear gets you, and sometimes you shouldn't go in the woods at all." And that anecdote can sum up the Naselle Comets football season: They ran roughshod over league and playoff opponents until they ran into the buzzsaw that was the Odessa Tigers team who claimed an 80-26 victory in the state Class 1B football championship last Saturday....
