A nightmare start for the Rockets on Thursday, Jan. 10 led to 22 straight Hornet points, a run which extended beyond the first quarter when HWC laid a goose egg on the NR-S offense, 19-0. The Hornets never looked back, defeating the locals 65-20. The Rockets' Cassie Longnecker would end up as the team's leading scorer with eight points, and she would account for six of NR-S' seven second quarter tallies to pull within 39-7 at the half buzzer. Kindra Jacobson, with three points, was the only...
Fresh off a humbling defeat two games before, the NR-S girls' basketballers got back into District 7 play, hopeful of maintaining pace towards the top tier in the conference.

Senior Alli Dockter had a big fourth quarter with 11 points, and ended the night as the Rockets' scoring leader with 18. Dockter's fo...
Fast-break offense was the theme for the NR-S Rockets in an 89-66 District 7 win in New Rockford over the Dakota Prairie Knights Friday night, January 11, and two players in particular darkened the scorebook with regularity.

In the final 16 minut...
