SLC Week 7 Final and Update 10/16/19 – Stateline Comets Football Organization

Good Morning Comet Parents!

It’s hard to believe, but this week will be the last for some of our Comet teams in 2019! We had and exciting weekend last week with all Comet teams. Only one team was at home (1^st/2^nd) and all the others were on the road! The Flag team hosted their Sat game on Thursday night. They will do the same tomorrow. Two of our six tackle teams (1^st/2^nd & 5^th) notched victories this past weekend and remain in the playoff hunt! If they win this weekend, they will advance to the Super Bowl held next Saturday Oct 26^th at Carthage College Stadium.

This Saturday 10/19, at 9 AM the 1^st/2^nd grade team will play Horlick Rebels (#1 seed) @ Horlick HS in a semi-final game. The 3^rd/4^th grade team will play at home 9 AM against Horlick Rebels Scarlett (3-4). The 5^th grade will be at Horlick Rebels Gray (#1 seed) at 11 AM. This will be their 2^nd mtg as they came up short by a score of only 6-20 back on 9/24/19. The 6^th grade is at home 11 AM playing Kenosha BGC Lancers (4-3). The 7^th grade is at Waterford Case Eagle Park 1 PM playing a team they battled very close (8-14) back on 9/28/19.

And our 8^th grade team is playing Bayview Redcats at 2 PM at their future Home Field in 2020 @ RBCHS!

Looking out past this weekend….

1^st/2^nd grade – Regardless of their outcome this Saturday in the playoffs, they will have their 8^th game of the season next weekend. It will be at an away site with a neutral opponent in the event of a loss, and if they win…Super Bowl.

3^rd/4^th grade will complete their season this Sat at home! Directors and team moms will be reaching out for any available volunteers now. Thank you!

5^th grade is in the playoffs and will play in the Super Bowl at Carthage College with a win this Sat. If not, their season will be over this week.

6^th grade will play at home this Sat 11 AM following the 3^rd/4^th grade game at 9 AM. They also have a chance to also play an addtl consolation game next Sat at home at 11 AM.

Banquet 2019

Saturday 11/9/19 from 11 AM to 3 PM at Lakemoor Union Hall. RSVP’s and payments required with an announced deadline!

This is a great event held annually, and a time to recognize all players, coaches, parents, sponsors for their contributions.

More event flyers coming out this week!

This Thursday at practice will be the last practice for several teams. So this will be the LAST time that ALL Comet teams will be on the practice field together in 2019.

As tradition goes, we will have a few special activities.

The 8^th grade team will lead warm-up’s at the beginning of practice from the north end zone facing south. All other teams in grade order (7^th thru Flag) will be lining up their teams south of the 8^th graders, facing north…..7^th, the 6^th, and so on.

After this is done, all teams will form a tunnel towards mid field for the 8^th grade players and coaches to walk thru and all other players can congratulate them for ALL the great seasons with the Comets!

The 8^th grade will also make “the call” from mid field and teams will then break apart into their normal practice groups and areas.

At some point during practice the 8^th grade and Flag team will have a few fun games and drills on the game field.

Take lots of pictures!

Below are the final results from Week # 7.
