A large crowd turned out to cheer the Comets on to victory.

The game was moved to General Brown High School’s turf field due to poor grass field conditions at Sandy Creek.

Sandy Creek is now 8 – 0 for the season, its best record since 1996.

Athletic Director and Football Coach Mike Stevens, who has been coaching for 23 seasons, 17 with the football program at Sandy Creek, had this to say about his squad, “This group of young men truly is a ‘team.’ They have been a pleasure to work with this season and I am grateful to be a part of this special season with them. I have been trying for 30 years to win the Sandy Creek football team, school, and community a Section III Championship in football. I hope this is the team to do it.”
