Summary

The Oakwood Comets football team, fresh off a 7-3 season in 2025, are set to open their 2026 season against Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin on Saturday night. Coach Cameron Lee expressed confidence in his team's potential following last year's playoff appearance despite a first-round loss. This year's opener has been moved to Payton-Moss Field due to logistical issues, requiring the Comets to adapt to a turf field. The Comets face a challenging matchup against the Blue Devils, who return key players from their 6-4 season.
