2-20 - Comstock 31 - Otsego 34
The JV boys showed grit and toughness in a match up against a strong Otsego team Tuesday night. After being down by 6 at halftime, the Colts went on a 11-0 run to start the 3rd quarter, and held that lead for much of the second half. Bryce Meach, who led the team in scoring with 12, was huge during the run. The Colts were unable to extend the lead down the stretch, and several missed layups proved too much to overcome as the boys ended up on the wrong end of a 34-31 final. We're proud of the effort against a top tier area team, but will not settle for anything less than a win no matter our opponent. The Colts look to push their win column to double digits heading into the final week and a half of the year.
2-16 - Comstock 35 - Bridgman 44

Rico O'Neal and Bryce Meach paced a struggling offense with 13 and 10 points. The Colts split the season series with Bridgman, and now shift gears to a tough match up against a strong Otsego program.
