Football: Varsity 

The varsity football team has started off strong this year with a win on Aug. 26 against DCG and has also won a home game against Pella. This past game on Sept. 9 at ADM, the team lost 20-29. 

The team has six more games to play and those scores will determine if they make it past regionals. If they keep up the winning streak hopefully comet colors will fly at regionals and state. 

Football home games are on Sept. 16 and 23, Oct. 7 and 21. 

Volleyball: Varsity

They also had a tournament on Sept. 3 where they won four matches and lost one. On Sept. 6, the team beat Carroll at home in just three matches. Their last tournament at Southeast Polk On Sept. 10, the girls won two matches and lost three.
