Rocket Girls' Basketball - C-Squad

                                       

Here is the place for the latest news, information, and schedules for the Rocket C-Squad (9th Grade) Basketball team.  Head Coach for C-Squad is Peter Hendricks.


Pizza Party for the C-Squad, at JM on Thursday Feb 23rd.  More details to follow but plan to join us for some well earned pizza!  Please bring your uniform to turn in as well on Thursday.

The John Marshall saved their finest performance for their final game. The Rockets knocked off Owatonna 53-47 on Tuesday, February 21st.  The girl's did the things we talked about all year.  They played excellent team defense and took what the opponent gave us on offense.

We had various girls step up throughout the contest.  It was a very physical game, but we didn't back down.  I was very proud of our effort and I just told the girls to compete.  Kate Schaad took the ball strong to the hole early in the 2nd half and landed on her head and did not return.  Holly Axtell, Morgan Madura, Nicole Ward and Maddie Hardtke got increased playing time and stepped up their games.  Julia Stowe was lights out from the free-throw line.  She hit 17 free throws in the contest and finished with another 20 point effort.  We have been pushing her to take the ball to the rack and she did that really well against Owatonna.

Lauryn Baker refused to let the Rockets lose.  She played another solid overall game leading the defensive effort for the Rockets.  Her intensity and will to win was fun to see. She also contributed 16 points with her attacking style of play on offense.  Brenna Finnegan battled some early foul trouble but stepped up huge in the 2nd half making two deep outside shots when the Huskies were making a run.  I couldn't ask for a better group of girls and you couldn't have scripted a better ending to the season with the win over a tough Owatonna squad.  The Rockets won their final 5 games of the season.
