Cheer
RPMS Competitive Cheer scored a 262.3 on Saturday, despite all the obstacles the team had to overcome. The team placed 6th out of 12 teams competing at the meet in Jenison. The girls are ready to put in work and score even higher at our next meet at Mona Shores.

Boys Basketball The road woes continue for the Rockets as they just can’t seem to get things going when they get off of a bus. At East Kentwood, it was the overall team help side defense and aggressiveness on the glass that were the crucial factors. Early miscues hurt the momentum as they stayed in the game through offensive efficiency from JC Tornes, Connor McManus and Lyric Stewart who put in sixteen, eleven and four respectively. Unfortunately, there were too many holes in the defense to capture a road win. They will look to rebound (pun intended) next week against Hamilton.
The 8th grade basketball team ran into another strong opponent last night in a loss to Valleywood Middle School in East Kentwood. Marvin Moore led the team with 16 points, while Ethan Frang and Cohen Beck each added 4. The Rockets next game is home next Monday against Hamilton.

BASKETBALL: Cold shooting and soft gap defense doomed the Rockets last night when they traveled to Mona Shores in 7th grade basketball action. JC Tornes led all scorers with a dozen points and six rebounds. Connor McManus added four points and five rebounds. Landon Nash’s big bucket tried to rally the Rockets, but they simply could not deliver from the field as it marked their only bucket outside the painted area. Anything outside of two feet from the rim was just not happening as there was a tight lid on the hoop. They will attempt to end their road woes this week when they travel to Grand Haven to take on the Bucs.-

BASKETBALL NEWS: The 8th grade basketball team was defeated by a strong Mona Shores team last night. Marvin Moore led the Rockets with 14 points. The team travels to Grand Haven for their next game on Thursday.
