“Super proud of the focus the girls showed for the first game, the jitters were not there,” commented Head Coach Brian Hovland of the Rockets.  “Our length on defense and willingness to give up a good shot for a great one was awesome to see.”

“Underwood is a well-coached team and they play hard,” noted Rothsay Head Coach Anita Heier.  “We learned a lot about ourselves and our weaknesses.  We look forward to working hard to improve these aspects of the game.”

Underwood will play at Parkers Prairie on Friday, while Rothsay has a home game against Waubun at 3:00pm Saturday.
