2016 Grand Ledge Comets Football Preview
2015 Record: (12-1, Overall)(7-0, CAAC Blue) CAAC Blue champs. Lost to Romeo in Division 1 semifinals, 48-21
2016 Schedule:
Week 1 @ Hudsonville
Week 2 vs. DeWitt
Week 3 vs. Sexton
Week 4 @ Okemos
Week 5 @ Jackson
Week 6 vs. Eastern
Week 7 @ Everett
Week 8 @ East Lansing
Week 9 vs. Holt
2016 Season Outlook:
The Comets have over 130 kids in the football program from freshmen on up. 10th year head coach Matt Bird loses a lot of talent from the semifinal squad. But his son and star junior QB Nolan Byrd does return.
Despite the departures and the tough schedule, expectations are high for the Comets. They are the favorite to win the CAAC Blue again. And their week 2 contest versus DeWitt at home is maybe the marquee game for the entire season in the area.
