The HS boys basketball teams traveled to Carson City-Crystal last night. The JV boys fought valiantly with five players due to sickness and injury and kept it a 1-point game almost the entire way only to fall at the end. The varsity boys took charge early and came out with a 63-22 victory. They were led by Logan Glazier's 21 points and 13 rebounds.. Jared DeVrieze had 18 points and 6 boards and Bob Harsh hit 10 in both categories. The boys host Sacred Heart this Tuesday with the JV tipping off at 5:30.
We moved the JH Boys Basketball game we had to cancel yesterday to this afternoon, Thursday 1/23. Carson City-Crystal was able to facilitate this on their end to ensure our boys don't miss an opportunity. So we will have the 8th-grade boys play at 4:30 with the 7th-graders to follow.

Our bowling teams traveled to Sheridan to compete on Saturday. The girls team was undefeated on the day. The boys had a great day as well. They won their first match since the 2021-2022 season beating a St. Charles team 26-4. This is the first conference loss for the Bulldogs since 2020! It was a successful day for both teams.
Tonight we honored Deputy Hodges for his years of service to Coleman Schools and the community. He has been a tremendous asset to us, and in his time here brought joy to many people. He and his friendly face will be greatly missed around here as he enjoys his much deserved retirement. Best of luck to you, Brandan, and a big welcome to Deputy Wakeman as he joins the Comet family!
