A hot-shooting Coloma basketball squad came out firing on all cylinders Friday night and cruised to a 66-31 victory over Martin Friday night.

The Comets nailed their first three three-point field goal attempts and never looked back.

“We knew they would come out firing,” said Martin coach Brad Moelker. “We actually regrouped well after that barrage but we still down 10 at end of first quarter. The second quarter we kind of fell apart. Turnovers and lack of movement plagued us in the second and third quarters.

These next two weeks are really going to be big for us. It’s pretty much going to be like the start of the year, as we are just getting every body back. Multiple starters have missed time due to injuries, sickness and quarantine. We have yet to have a practice with our entire starting cast. It will be nice to finally start putting things all together.”

Cole Altman had 12 points and 7 rebounds for the Clippers. Karter Ribble chipped in 7 points, Charley Martin 7 points 5 rebounds and Kaden Coburn 3 points and Mel Gonzalez 2.

The coach had praise for Kaden Coburn and Sam Jager for “doing everything they can to help our team. They both leave everything on the court. Both are rotating on defense, closing out, holding box outs, communicating all those little things that teams need.”
