Reeths-Puffer’s Jaslynn Kops is closing in on her team’s single-season scoring record.
Kops, only a junior, scored her 22nd goal of the season on Thursday, helping the Rockets close out their O-K Green conference schedule with a 3-0 victory over Jenison.
The current record is 23 goals, held by Sophia Hekkema. The Rockets are guaranteed at least two more games this season for Kops to tie the record– at Grand Rapids Christian on Saturday, then home against Cadillac in a first-round district game next Wednesday.
