7th Grade A Team
Coach Nick Sasak
2-15 - Comstock 17 - Kalamazoo Christian 46
The 7th Grade A Team girls took a step back in a 46-17 loss to a very
talented Kalamazoo Christian squad. Despite key injuries and overall poor play,
the Colts' aggressive defense kept themselves in the game throughout the first
half, only trailing by 7 points at the break. The girls began to unravel in the
2nd half when Kalamazoo Christian took advantage of key mistakes and got hot. To
the team's credit, lack of effort was never a problem throughout the collapse.
Li'Zariah Lewis led Comstock with 7 points. The girls will respond to this loss
with hard work and an increased focus to improve. Go Colts!
2-8 - Comstock 20 - Parchment 23
The 7th Grade A Team made a valiant comeback, late, before falling to Parchment,
23-20. The Colts really struggled to score the basketball despite getting many
quality attempts throughout the entire contest. Their tough defense kept them in
the game (against a solid team) despite their dismal shooting. Down by 8 going
into the 4th quarter, Comstock got out of their scoring funk as they netted 14
points to make the game close (down the stretch). The girls will learn from the
experience as they continue to grow as a team.
2-6 - Comstock 34 - Delton-Kellogg 15
The 7th Grade Girls A Team was absolutely stellar defensively against Delton in
a 34-15 victory. The entire group played with great heart and intensity, holding
their opponents to only 5 points through 3 quarters of play. The team also did a
better job of protecting the ball in transition by making effective outlet
passes off of steals and rebounds. Li'Zariah Lewis led all scorers with 12
points, while Jada Cook and Nevaeh McIntyre each added 6. Gianna Nathaniel, Kyla
Owens and Megan Kendall were especially relentless on the defensive end with
quick feet and active hands. Although the girls have yet to have a strong
shooting performance, their hard work on both ends will continue to carry them
throughout the season. Awesome job, Comstock!
2-1 - Comstock 40 - St. Monica 30
The 7th Grade A Team put enough positives together to earn their first victory
of the season against St. Monica, 40-30. Li'Zariah Lewis had a stand-out game
for the Colts, scoring a game-high 18 points. Kyla Owens also added 8. The girls
will continue to work on playing with poise under pressure, as they committed
far too many turnovers late in the game. Go Colts!
1-30 - Comstock 20 - Galesburg-Augusta 21
The 7th Grade A Team was edged out by Galesburg, 21-20 in a highly contested
game. The Colts were very tough defensively and played with great effort at both
ends of the court, but just made too many mistakes. Their passing and decision
making while under pressure will be a primary focus for the team as the year
continues. Nevaeh McIntyre, Kyla Owens, Kayla Berg and Li'Zariah Lewis paced the
scoring for Comstock.
1-23 - Comstock 14 - Kalamazoo Christian 30
The 7th Grade Girls Basketball A Team learned a lot in their 14-30 loss to
Kalamazoo Christian. Comstock was very tough defensively for most of the game,
but allowed their opponents to go on two big runs late in the 2nd and 3rd
quarters. Down 22 points going into the 4th quarter, the girls showed a lot of
heart as they continued to fight. They were able to close the gap a bit through
great effort, holding Kalamazoo Christian scoreless. Li'Zariah Lewis and Gianna
Nathaniel led the Colts in scoring with 5 points each. Comstock will continue to
work hard on both ends of the court and the wins will come. Go Comstock!
