This week's spotlight features senior Gauge Carrillo and junior Rourke Harrison, both members of the Oakwood Comets' 2026 football team. Coach Cameron Lee provides an update on the team's successful 2025 season, which resulted in a 7-3 record and qualified the Comets for the Class 1A playoffs. The team, comprising only four seniors, finished third in the Vermilion Valley Conference, with their only losses coming against the top two teams in the league: Westville and Clifton Central.
Coach Lee anticipates a similar challenge in the upcoming 2026 season, as both Clifton Central and Westville are known for their consistency in the valley. In preparation for their season opener against Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin on Saturday, the Comets will face logistical changes as they move from their home turf at Marty McFarland Field to Payton-Moss Field in Bismarck, where they'll play on turf. Despite the challenge, coach Lee emphasizes the team's readiness to adapt to the new environment.
