Comets Outlast Jayhawks in District Opener
By Derek Devine, JTV Sports Concord, MI- Hanover-Horton beat Vandercook Lake 63-48 on Mar. 3rd, to advance to the second round of the Class C District Basketball Championship at Concord High School. Even while playing “uncharacteristic” basketball, Coach Chad Mortimer and his Comets found a way to win. “We had a terrible start tonight,” Mortimer said. “We just need to play better all game. Obviously at this stage of the season, you can’t even lose one.” Turnovers, missed rebounds and early foul trouble were all a factor in the Comet’s slow start, but Vandercook Lake couldn’t take advantage of the mistakes. Stefan Young and Brock Spink were forced to sit most of the first half, forcing others to step up and make plays. Kenzie Brockie was a huge spark for the Comets, scoring 12 of his 14 points before halftime, where Hanover-Horton led 27-19. Both teams traded baskets most of the second half until the Jayhawks made one last push in the fourth quarter, cutting the lead to 6. Theo Boyd, 15 points, and Will Rodgriguez, 14 points, assisted the late run for the Jayhawks. It was not enough, however, as the Comets put the game away behind Young’s…
Comets Begin Quest for 13th Straight District
By Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports ‘Memories, like the corners of my mind… Misty water colored memories of the Way We Were.’ The timeless lyrics to the Barbra Streisand classic ‘The Way We Were’ carry greater meaning for me as I get older. However, even these touching words mean little when compared to the current streak of district titles for the Hanover-Horton Comets boys basketball team. Beginning with tonight’s state tournament opener at Concord against Vandercook Lake, the Comets embark on yet another foray into the first round having won 12 straight district titles. The remarkable streak, as usual, faces stern tests. If H-H wins tonight, then powerful Homer (19-1) looms in the second round and possibly Michigan Center (13-7) for the title. With so many upsets in March Madness it’s amazing the Comets have remained so consistent. That’s a testament to Coach Chad Mortimer, his staff and system, and the Comet players. So, in honor of this streak, let’s take a look back, shall we? The Comets lost to Jonesville in a district semifinal in 2001 and back then… The price of gas was creeping up… TO $1.68 a gallon!
