Comets Clinch Western District Title In Miracle Comeback
Halifax County’s Bite Comets rallied from deficits, shocked Albemarle in extras, and beat George Washington 7-3 at Market Garden Field to claim the Western District championship. Joey Cole struck out 13, with three straight outs to seal the win as Halifax earned a regional berth at Franklin County High School. The win capped a dramatic week in which Halifax twice trailed and survived an elimination bracket to reach the finale. GW coach Joel DeBoer praised Halifax’s timely hitting and pitching, while Halifax coach Joe Hyatt acknowledged a relief in holding Cole for the finale after a demanding playoff run.
