2019 SPRING TEAM PREVIEW: COloma Comets

Team Name: Coloma Comets
Head Coach: Kevin Van Petighem
Division: III
2018 Record: 18-17
Conference Record: SAC Lakeshore, 2nd Place
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/3

2019 Team Strengths:

  • Experience

Coach Outlook: "We lose Calvin Starnes who was an all-state pitcher and is now at Northwest Florida State, but return 7 starters and add some depth with players coming up from JV that in some ways makes us better than we were last year. We lack that "dominant" pitcher but have a number of solid guys. We should be able to compete for conference and district titles and anything can happen from there."
