"It was a pretty good weekend for the Rockets getting some good competition in and learning how to play with the big (dominant) schools," JM coach Jessica Stellmaker said. "With the tough schedule we have, our 10-10 (overall) record doesn't really show much but hopefully playing the tough non-conference and tournament schedule will do us well when it comes to sections and have us well prepared."
