The Cornjerkers were back in action Tuesday night after the game with Bishop Mac was  canceled due to the weather. The Cornjerkers had a tough opponent in Oakwood/Salt Fork.

Second half was very tight with both teams having great opportunities to score. The game stayed 1-0 until Brody Teflinger made it 2-0 with three minutes and forty-one seconds left. The Comets capped the game when once again Powell and Taflinger connected to make the final score 3-0. Owen Root had saved twelve while facing fifteen shots on goal from the Comets.

Hoopeston Area is 3-1 overall and 2-1 in the VVC. The Cornjerkers will travel to St. Joe on Thursday.
