The Comets scored at 7:56 in the second quarter on another TD romp by Wilderman, this time covering nine yards. The Panthers found themselves trailing 20-6, but didn’t lay down. They returned the next kickoff about 75 yards for a touchdown to make it 20-12.
A five-yard pass from Ryan Jackson to Dieken Graber expanded the Comet lead to 26-12 just before halftime. Grull ended the half with a pass interception.
Neither team scored in the third quarter.
The Comets added two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Wilderman recorded his third of the game with a seven-yard run, and Declan Graber scored on a five-yard run.
