The Underwood Rockets led 25-19 at halftime and went on to record a 55-44 Little Eight Conference boys’ basketball victory over the Rothsay Tigers on Tuesday night.

The Rockets were led by Krosby Aasness with 20 points.  Braden Thorson and Winston Heifort were also in double figures with 13 and 11 points, respectively.  Canaan Kugler chipped in with 9 points.

“I’m extremely proud of the way the boys came out and played in front of the home crowd for the last time this season,” stated Underwood Head Coach Evan Meece.  “They really worked hard and left it all on the court and earned a great team victory.  To the four seniors on their senior night, I could not have asked for a better effort or better results and I couldn’t be prouder of the way that we have continued to play hard and are playing some of our best basketball down the stretch.  We look to build off this victory and continue to play good basketball into the final weeks of the season heading into playoffs.”

Colby Larson led Rothsay with 19 points and Tanner Heier added 15 for the Tigers.
