The North Polk Comets defeated Perry 42-17 in two quarters of basketball exhibition action Tuesday night in Alleman. The game doesn’t count toward the regular season standings and serves strictly as a tuneup for the upcoming season opener Friday night in Des Moines. Perry struggled with turnovers in the two quarters of action and had a tough time getting their shots off. Molly Lutmer led Perry with 15 points while Kennedy Tunick scored 2. Perry will kick off the regular season this Friday night at Des Moines North. The Jayettes season opener will be Tuesday when they host Newton. Shawn Kenney will have the play by play on KDLS.
