Girls Basketball
The 7th grade girls began their season with an extremely hard earned victory over the visitors from Muskegon. The team weathered an onslaught of fouls in order to execute their offense as well as their transition set. The goal of the night was to out hustle their rivals and play as a team. This was accomplished better than anticipated as eight girls got into the scoring column and all ten got off at least three shots. Charitee Jones led the Rockets in scoring with ten while her front court partner, Gracie Callendar, knocked in nine. Wren Tryska was a force while playing spot duty at the post with seven points to go with seven rebounds. Ella Voorhies and Jaslynn Kops led the back court with five and four respectively. Kops also held her own on defense with seven steals. Grace Tindall, Makenzie Jones and Olivia Ambler rounded out the scoring for the girls in the opener.
The 8th grade Lady Rockets played host to the Muskegon Lady Reds last night. The talented Lady Reds took an early 1st quarter and eventually a halftime lead of 40-13 on the Rockets. The Rockets played pretty even with Muskegon in the 2nd half. The final score was 58-24. Although it might not show up on the scoreboard the 8th grade Rockets did a lot of really good things last night. The girls showed a lot of grit and hustle. The Rockets will continue to work hard to improve. Next game is at home on Wednesday versus West Ottawa. Come out and support your teams. Leading scorers were:
Mallorie Messer, Emma Lamphere, Sara Carlson, Jayla Trepanier, and Sophia Wathen.
