As a team the Rockets posted a 3-2 record. They beat Caledonia 61-16, Almost 78-6 and Comstock Park 53-18 while falling to Hastings 40-29 and St. Louis 42-27.
“Hastings is a great team that hasn’t lost a lot this year,” Fleming said. “St. Louis is one of the best teams in Division 4. So to have (close matches) with both of those teams was a solid start. We then took it to Almont and were 1-2, then we wrestled Comstock Park for the second time (this season) and Caledonia and beat both of those teams pretty handily.”
