“Every set was competitive tonight against the Rockets,” reported Hillcrest Head Coach Debi Foss. “They had moments of greatness. We had moments of greatness. We had errors. They had errors. It took a little bit to get into our rhythm and we played tentative at times. The Rockets do a good job of moving their attacks around and dumping the ball to open spots. We look forward to a rematch next week. Thank you to Security Insurance & Investments for sponsoring tonight's game tonight! I think all of the fans were diving for a "Block Party" t-shirts being sling-shotted into the stands as well as the candy toss.”

On Thursday, the Comets will celebrate Senior Night in their last conference match of the season against the Battle Lake Battlers at home.
