  • NR-S girls stung by Hornets

    Erik Gjovik|Jan 21, 2019

    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...

  • NR-S falls to FW-M Indians by 11

    Erik Gjovik|Jan 21, 2019

The Rockets (7-2, 2-1 in district play) couldn’t withstand FW-M’s trademark pressure in the first half, as the Indians, still smarting from a last-second 58-57 loss at Hillsboro-Central Valley on Jan. 11, put together a 40-21 advantage at the half. In the final 16 minut...
