The Lady Rocket basketball team took a tough loss to the Halstead dragons 40-28. It was a hard fought game with the score tied going into halftime.

“We played very well the first half – we competed and were aggressive,” head coach Jenny Page said.

The lead scorer for the Rockets in this game was Bridget Mohr with 8 points. The Rockets next game is against Garden Plain.

“The second half was a different story. We became complacent with the ball and let Halstead do whatever they wanted to do.  We have to adjust better to what teams are doing as the game goes on,” Page said.

The Rockets Basketball team took a tough loss losing to Halstead 62-59 at Rose Hill High.  

“I feel like our team really played their hearts out and left everything on the court. The game didn’t end the way we wanted it to but I still think it was a great way to start the season.” Said Zander Ford.

The Rockets scored 59 points – 18 of them coming from Zander Ford and another 15 points came from Nick Bently.

“Overall it was a good game but we just need to clean up a few things starting with our communication on our presses. I really am happy about the game but if we continue to work on our chemistry and communication we will be a scary team.” said Ford.

The Rockets had a nice lead in the first quarter, 20-11. After the second quarter the Rockets were down 29-27. At the end of the third quarter the Rockets were down 49-43. 

Next up for the Rockets is an away game at Garden Plain on December 10th at 7:30pm.
