The Reeths-Puffer boys soccer team finally lost a conference game.
The Rockets traveled to Caledonia on Thursday and suffered a 3-1 defeat in O-K Green conference action.
The loss dropped R-P to 3-1-1 in the conference standings and 3-3-2 overall.
The Fighting Scots took the lead with a first half goal. The Rockets missed out on two good scoring chances after that and trailed 1-0 at halftime.

Caledonia pulled ahead 2-0 in the second half, then the Rockets cut their deficit with a goal by London Carpenter. Kam David had the assist.
The Fighting Scots added a late goal to sew up the win.
R-P goalie Evan McCollum had a very busy night, stopping 13 of 16 shots on goal.
“McCollum was an absolute beast again,” said R-P head coach Kody Harrell. “Caledonia could have had five or six goals it it weren’t for Evan.
“Caledonia was very sharp and had great team movement and passing.”
The Rockets will host Grand Rapids Northview on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in a non-conference game.
