       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

In this story you will see highlights from the ROCORI Spartans playoff match against the Annandale Cardinals. They played at the beautiful facility in Dassel Cokato in front of a packed gymnasium. ROCORI won game one, and was cruising along in game two until a scary moment when Jordan Hansen severely rolled her ankle on a play where one of the Annandale Cardinals inadvertently came under the net onto the ROCORI side.

Although Hansen would remain in the game, ROCORI’s offense slowed down considerably, and they lost the next two games. Eventually the Spartans made a few adjustments as they went on to win game four and even the match up. With the gym rocking, the Spartans opened up game five strong and rolled on to win the match three games to two. Watch all of the electrifying highlights here, and be sure to stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more Spartans’ volleyball highlights.

ROCORI Volleyball Team Opens With a Home Victory

       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

The ROCORI Spartans Volleyball team took to their home court as they looked to duplicate their regular season success in their first game of the playoffs. Although ROCORI was heavily favored, the team was not about to take the Litchfield Dragons team lightly. After a number of long volleys back and forth, the Spartans took control of the first game after coming up with a remarkable save in the far backcourt. Game two the Spartans continued their dominance as they put together a 6-point mini run early in the game. The Dragons could never regroup as they began to make mistakes and simply could not match ROCORI’s athleticism. Be sure to watch all of the highlights from this match and stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more Spartans’ playoff highlights.

Spartans Football Season Ends as They Lose to Little Falls

       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

The ROCORI Spartans football team went into their playoff matchup against the Little Falls Flyers with more injuries than you could shake a stick at. For starters, the team had none of their starting linebackers from the season opener. Coupled with the broken hand suffered by senior quarterback Derek Lieser, the Spartans would be in for a tough game against their gritty opponents, the Little Falls Flyers.

ROCORI opened up sluggish on offense as Nate Meyer started at quarterback. Two sloppy plays later, Lieser came in and threw a strike to the normally sure-handed Eric Loxtercamp who then dropped the ball. That set the tone for ROCORI as they simply could not move the ball and were constantly fighting an uphill battle when it came to field position. Eventually, the Spartans would put together a scoring drive and take a 7-0 lead in the second quarter. However on the ensuing kickoff, ROCORI yielded a 60-yard return that would setup a short field for the Flyers. A few plays later the Flyers tied the score at 7-7. The turning point in the game may have taken place when ROCORI could not advance the ball deep in their own territory with under a minute left. Punting with under 30 seconds left, the Flyers got the ball on the ROCORI 24 yard line. Two plays later they cashed in another touchdown and led 14-7 at halftime.

The second half was more of the same for both teams as the Flyers continued to pound the ball on the ground while ROCORI’s defense kept them from scoring until a big touchdown run put the game out of reach. Watch all of the highlights from both halves and be sure to stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more Spartans’ sports highlights.
