Although the Comets struggled through much of the 2016 season, they have a lot of young building blocks for the next couple of years both side of the ball. Coleman only loses 9 players to graduation next year but return most of their key contributors headlined by QB Spencer Pnacek, Wr Jason Beckner, LB Karlos Moiser, Wr Tyler Stambersky, OL/DL Cody Finney and RB Truman Webb. All of these guys are currently sophomores and juniors and will have multiple years of starting experience under their belts so the playoffs appear to be a realistic possibility. Another year in the system of coach Chad Klopf and their familiarity with him should allow them to evolve on both sides of the ball and implement some tricks to allow them to improve on both sides of the ball.
Coleman's schedule proves more favorable this year as many conference opponents lose lot of starters to graduation. Coleman loses the fewest players in their conference, and return all of their top talent. The likes of Sacred Heart, and Breckenridge who were both at the top of the Mid-State conference will have to rely on underclassman and may face similar struggles to what Coleman dealt with. Coleman's rebuild should be over next year and they should be ready to compete in the conference again lead by their current younger class men who will finally become upperclassman and step up into leadership roles.
Coach Klopf has won a lot of games as the head man of the Comets and is familiar with the rebuild process that takes place at a smaller school such as Coleman and he will lead them to success once again in 2017. Go Comets!
