Comet Athletics August wrap-up

By Mark Jurgena, Advocate Sports Staff

The high school athletic season is literally days away!

Monday is the first day of practices for all IHSA fall sports.

The first event on the Comet sports calendar is August 17 when the boys golf team travels to the Effingham (St. Anthony) Invitational at the Indian Springs Golf Course in Fillmore.

But before the competition begins athletes need to have taken part in practices. The only way to do that is to get their paperwork taken care of.

All athletes need a current physical turned into the office. They also need to complete an athletic registration form on the bccu2 website which can be found at the following internet address https://www.bccu2.org/o/bccu2hs/page/sports/.

“The practices are all starting on the same day, that is August 12,” new GHS athletic director Chad Nelson said over the weekend. “My plan is to post on social media when everybody’s practicing on Monday to make sure everybody knows when and where the practice will be. I think most kids will know but we want to make sure to post it in case anyone is interested in playing that doesn’t know the information they need.”

Fall Sports Scrimmage

On the evening of August 23 the fall Comet sports teams will have their preview night in and around the GHS sports complex.

Details surrounding the evening will be forthcoming in the next two weeks according to Nelson.
