Comets change defense for Pittsburg in season opener
Chanute High School prepares for an 8 p.m. varsity visit to Pittsburg in a Southeast Kansas League game after a 1-0 start and a tough loss to Labette County. Coach Pete Dillman shifts to a zone defense and repositions Brad Bright and Jeff Williams to boost rebounding and create better close range look. Pittsburg counters with a taller lineup led by 6-7 Brian Jones and 6-6 sophomore, aiming to stay in the game. The junior varsity and sophomore teams also gear up, with Labette County handling the former 74-35 and the sophomores set to slow the pace for their matchup.
