Did you know?
That
Palomar alum Tom Dempsey, who set an NFL record when his 63-yard
field goal gave the New Orleans Saints a last second-win over
the Detroit Lions back in 1970, was much more than just a kicker
for the Comets. He also started on the defensive line, was a
conference heavyweight wrestling champion and threw the discus.

Comets will play at Cerritos
in first round Saturday at 7
 NORWALK (11-20-09)
-- Palomar and Cerritos will play a rematch of last
year's
Golden Empire Bowl at Bakersfield, which
the Comets won 38-33, on Saturday night at Cerritos. Only
this game has a lot more riding on it.
This year's game, which will
double as the National Bowl, comes in the first round of the
Southern California community college playoffs, the first
step toward the CCCAA California State Championship game on
Dec. 12 at the home of the Northern California champion.
Saturday's kickoff will be at 7
p.m.
The Falcons, ranked No. 7 in the
nation by the J.C. Grid-Wire, come in 9-1 with their
only loss to Mt. SAC, ranked No. 2 nationally by
JCGridiron.com, by a 27-26 score when the Mounties
blocked a Cerritos extra point in overtime.
The Comets, ranked No. 15
nationally by JCGridiron.com, enter the game 8-2 with
a pair of three-point losses, 29-26 to Grossmont, which was
the nation's top-ranked team in the pre-season by the
Sporting News, and 20-17 to Fullerton, which is ranked
No. 2 nationally by the Grid-Wire.
"They're one point away from
being undefeated, we're six points from being undefeated,
and it will be a physical, hard-fought game," Palomar coach
Joe Early said. "Games like this, particularly in the
post-season, usually come down to who makes the least
mistakes, and who can capitalize on the other team's
mistakes."
The Comets have 11 All-Southern
Conference first-team selections:
Center Sam Tupua,
guard Tom Berry, offensive tackle Brice Schwab, tight end Jared Bamber,
wide receiver Martavious Lee, running back Orenzo Davis,
quarterback Matt Christian, kicker Kevin Ditch, defensive tackle Alika Viaese, safety Dean Faddis and punt returner Mikey Head.
Christian
(broken collarbone) and Head (back) will miss the game with
injuries. Nate Ong (who starts at QB in place of Christian)
is coming off a huge game in a 41-6 win over Orange Coast,
when he was 23-34 passing for 247 yards and four touchdowns
and also carried five times for 35 yards rushing and another
TD. The Comets also are still missing running back Tyler
Lavea (knee), who could return depending on how deep they
can advance in the post-season.
Palomar's
offensive line will enter the game completely healthy for
the first time since the Comets' season-opening 55-0 victory
over Southwestern.
The Comets'
starting tight end, Jared Bamber, is on Cal's recruiting
short list and also is being looked at seriously by Miami.
Offensive tackle Brice Schwab has verbally committed to USC,
while receiver Martavious Lee has verbally committed to LSU.
The game
will be broadcast live on KKSM-1320 AM,
on Cox Digital
Cable Channel 958 and on the World-Wide Web at
