9-24 - Comstock 0 - Paw Paw 8

The Comstock boys soccer team lost a tough fought game to Paw Paw. Despite being low in numbers and playing one man short for the majority of the second half, the colts refused to give up.

9-13 - Comstock 0 - Vicksburg 8

Many players missed the game due to injury. Despite playing the entire game shorthanded, the colts refused to give up. The colts managed to play strong team defense throughout the game. The team defense was accented by impressive individual play as well. Mason Groll used his head to clear the ball off the line. Not to be outdone, Bryan Moore had a beautiful overhead kick to clear the ball off the line a bit later. Despite this it really was a team effort. Impressively, in the second half the colts played 15 minutes with two fewer players and 10 minutes with three fewer players than Vicksburg, and still only allowed two goals in that time. If you see a member of the soccer team, congratulate them on a great game.

After an injury, Mason Groll stepped up to lead the defense. He provided strong leadership in a time of need. Despite not getting a break Brian Caldwell and Ethan Barber spent the whole game in the midfield, running nonstop. Although in the end the boys lost 8 - 0 to Kalamazoo Christian, it was certainly not for lack of trying.

8-22 - Comstock 3 - Parchment 8

Scott Young refused to give up and scored a great goal as a result.
