*SADD Club Meeting Tuesday, October 7th 3:30-4pm in the cafeteria.
*Middle school cross country practice today is canceled.
*On Monday night the Comets traveled to face Lafayette Harrison in what they knew would be a tough test. In tennis there is no class system like there is in the other team sports, so facing #29 overall Harrison on the road would be a lofty challenge. The Comets didn’t let it phase them and took it to the host Raiders. Striking in straight set victories was Silas Flanary at #1 singles, Tristan Armogum at #2 singles and Max Atherton at #3 singles. The doubles would be tested! The Harrison #1 duo is likely to be All State after season, and their senior leader was a member of the 2022 state runner up team as a freshman. JT Atherton and Blake Farkas challenged them to a very tight first set but ran out of gas in the second set. The #2 doubles team of Blake Day and Grant Farkas were taken the distance in a 3 set thriller. The boys were able to come out on top to remain undefeated on the season. The JV was also victorious on the night winning 4-2. The Varsity moved to 17-3 on the season and this moved them into the #2 spot for all time number of wins. The JV concluded their season 20-1. The Varsity is back in action next when facing #26 Kokomo in sectional on Wednesday at 4pm. Would love to see some Comet supporters if you are able! Go Comets!
*Seniors- a representative from Herff Jones will be here Friday during lunch to get your cap and gown ordered.
*Middle school homework help will meet in the cafeteria after school today.
