8th Grade Basketball vs Mona Shores

Rockets win hard fought game!

The 8th grade Lady Rockets gutted out a tough road victory last night versus their rivals from Mona Shores. The Sailors did a nice job of switching up defenses against the Rockets and kept RP off balance. Megan Barmes hit three first half 3 pointers against Mona Shores zone defense. The Sailors then ran a box and 1 against Barmes which called for other players to step up.  A big three pointer by Daje'ona Fields and the first career basket from Michaela "Buckets" Beidler in the 3rd quarter kept the game close after 3 quarters. A big 4th quarter by Barmes and Emersen Berndt and key rebounding by all the girls sealed the 36-32 victory. The team is now 8 and 1. They travel to Muskegon on Wednesday.
