Odessa 76, Comets 74

The Naselle Comet football team came up just short last weekend of advancing to the state Class B1 football semifinal. Principal Justin Laine offered this report: So proud of our Comet players and coaches. They traveled to Moses Lake to play a game in sub-freezing temperatures against #1 ranked, undefeated, perennial powerhouse Odessa. They fought right up to the very end before falling by a score of 76-74. They played with tremendous heart, toughness, and resilience.

Our coaches had them well prepared. I could not be more proud of how our coaches and players represented themselves, their families, our school, and community. Thank you for a wonderful season and a gritty effort. Also, thankful for all of the parents, family, Naselle alumni, and community members that traveled all the way to Moses Lake to support our Comet players and coaches. Photo courtesy of Justin Laine.
