The Lady Rockets, coached by Lisa Modelski, finished their regular season with a record of 11-14. The highlight of their regular season was beating McDonald (49-27) because it was the first time the team has beat McDonald in over seven years. The Lady Rockets then headed into the tournament to play Fairport Harding on February 15th. The girls had over an hour and a half long bus ride. The Boosters provided Subway and Body Armour for the way there and chips and other snacks for the way home. Coach Modelski surprised the girls with a scavenger hunt for four gift cards once they arrived at the school in order to get their legs moving and blood flowing after sitting for so long. The game went back and forth the whole night. It came down to the last 2 minutes, when the ladies had to hit free throws to secure the win. The Lady Rockets won the game against Fairport 53-47. Next, they traveled to play Southington (Chalker) on February 18 in the regional finals.
The team met at Carchedi’s the morning of their game for a team breakfast, then went to the school to shoot around before they headed to the bus. There was a slow start to the game, which is typical for Saturday games, but the Rockets won with a 45-25 victory where they were leading the whole game. Leading them to the district semi finals for the second year in a row.
A team dinner was provided on Tuesday, February 21st at Coach John Paul Hvisdak’s house the day before the district semifinals. At the dinner they enjoyed pasta and meatballs, garlic bread, and an ice cream bar for dessert. Before the ladies got on the bus Coach Modelski surprised the girls with another scavenger hunt by hiding five gift cards this time with one of them being a jack pot gift card worth more than the others. The Rockets played Western Reserve at Mineral Ridge on Wednesday, February 22. The Rockets had a great run in the first quarter leading 12-6 and by halftime only trailing by 1, with a score of 19-18. Unfortunately, Western Reserve kept their lead and ended up winning 39-27. Although the season ended sooner than the team had hoped for they had a great season and should be very proud of everything they accomplished!
