Elgin unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. The match between the Comets and the River Valley Vikings didn't end well, with the Comets falling 42-23. While losing is never fun, the Comets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 589th, while the Vikings are ranked 281st).
Jack Van Gundy and Nate Freshouer certainly did their best on Thursday to avoid the loss. Van Gundy rushed for 44 yards and two TDs, while Freshouer rushed for 65 yards.
Elgin didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 36-7 victory against Ridgedale on the 29th. River Valley has also already played their next game (against Madison Comprehensive), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
