Rockets vs Zeeland Creekside

Slow start dooms the Rockets vs. Zeeland Creekside

The 8th Grade Lady Rockets traveled to Zeeland Creekside to face the Dux last night. The ladies got off to a slow start and fell behind 7-0 after the first quarter against a very good and well coached Zeeland team. The 2nd quarter was a little better but the team was still down by 11 at halftime. The team picked up the pace and intensity in the 2nd half.  A full-court press got the girls going. The Rockets outscored the Dux 10 to 6 in the 3rd quarter to cut into the lead. Unfortunately, the girls could not get any closer than 5 points and ultimately lost 33 to 28. The Lady Rockets will look to "fuel up" to play great all 4 quarters as they travel to Hudsonville Baldwin today.  Leading scorers:  Madison Hutchison -2 points, Maddy Ingersoll - 2 points, Kyleigh Bilek - 4 points, Mya Swain - 4 points, Jenna Terpstra - 5 points,  Lexi Daggett - 11 points.
