By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-Saturday, September 7th, 2024-Palomar Stadium-Palomar College -San Marcos, CA-When Palomar was founded in February of 1946, the football team had played home games at various high schools throughout the North County area.
For the first time in the 47 years, the football team finally played their first actual home game at the football stadium on the campus of Palomar College things went in a different direction as the Comets were defeated by the Falcons of Moorpark 17-16 score
William Struyk connected on a 45 yard field to put Moorhead up 3-0. The Comets came back as Quincy Herron, 15 yards receiving, caught a 6 yard pass from KJ Chatham 88 yards passing, and John Meyers connected with 3 field goals 47, 32 and 21 yards led 16-3.
Moorpark struck with 2 more touchdowns in the 4th quarter as Savion Covington scored in the end zone and teammates Kadyn Parr 32 yards passing, threw a 5 yard pass to Ryan Johnson with the PAT's by Will Struyk with the final score 17-16 in favor of Moorpark
Joe Early Palomar Head Football Coach: "I felt that we got complete control of this game with eight minutes in the fourth quarter our defense gave up too many points as we missed field goals and couldn't score in the Red Zone, we should have had 28 points in the first half but I keep telling my squad there's a fine line for winning and losing."
As we led 16-3, those 16 points should have been 32, it's very hard to score points when you get inside the red area so we can score more points on the board." "We can't settle for field goals all the time but we didn't do that, we have a long way to go as our guys were resilant."" I've been around this game a long time and I haven't seen a change of events like that, we had the momentum for 3 quarters in the 8 minute mark of the 4th, Moorpark got the turnover as we attempt to score the TD that changed things completely." said Coach Early
