Rockets send Comets out of orbit

The Rockets hosted Super Region 4 competitor Rolette/Wolford Comets on Thursday, Oct. 14. The Rockets defeated the Comets 3-0.

Knowing the Comets had only won two games all season, the Rockets knew they could take the win easily, unlike the recent match up against the North Star Bearcats.

The Comets won the coin flip, so they received the serve, but with an error by the Comets, the Rockets received the ball. Eighth grader Ava Peterson served six in a row before receiving a serve error. Peterson served a total of five aces against the Comets.

The first set consisted of a few points for the Rockets, and a few missed points for the Comets. The match went back and forth until the Rockets came out with a 25-14 win.

The next two sets went the same way. Points given, points earned. The Rockets defeated the Comets 25-8 in the second set and 25-17 in the third set.

The Comets are currently sitting ninth in the region, whereas the Rockets are sitting third in the region.

The Rockets had a total of 24 kills between Kelsie Belquist, Mya Cudworth, Peterson, Madisen Myhre and Maria Becker. Belquist led with a total of ten, with Cudworth behind with seven, Peterson had four, Myhre had two and Becker had one.

Kennedy Demester led the Rockets in digs with a total of ten, with Belquist and Kaiya O'Connor trailing behind with five each.

Along with Peterson's five aces, the Rockets scored on six more aces, with three coming from O'Connor, and one each coming from Belquist, Cudworth and Kyria Dockter.

O'Connor had a total of 20 assists against the Comets, with Myhre also bringing in two assists.
