PART ONE

Rocori emerged as victor in the Class AAA third-place game, in its third consecutive appearance in the State Boys Basketball tournament. The no. 2-ranked Spartans played their game by defeating the Panthers of Spring Lake Park 61-44. After establishing a early lead six minutes into the first half, they poored on the coals and remained ahead the entire game. This included a 12-point run during the final 5 minutes of the game.
The Spartans shot 63.6% at the free throw line and did not give up any free throw opportunities to the Panthers. Justin Stommes, who will be headed to Eastern Kentucky to play college ball this fall, led the charge with his 15 points, while teammate Aaron Burtzel added 12 points with a team-high eight rebounds.
This was Coach Bob Brink's 850th win, maintaining his position as the second winningest Boys Basketball coach in the State.

It was ROCORI'S game to loose. They were in front most of the game by as much as a dozen points. But when the clock dropped below the one minute mark in the game... there was just two (2) points separating ROCORI from Willmar and ROCORI was in the lead.
Check back for more details later this weekend.
ROCORI wins it and will play their first game in the State Tournament at 10:00 AM next Wednesday at the Target Center in Minneapolis. They will play the 4AAA champion Saint Michael-Albertville H.S. .
If you look closely... there's no net on the basketball hoop in the background. It was cut down by the ROCORI Spartan 8AAA Basketball Champions.

This evening the ROCORI boys basketball team took on the Little Falls Flyers in the first round of their journey toward a possible State Tournament birth. It was a rough and ragged game where Little Falls tried to slow the game down and keep the score close.

The Spartans were flat most of the game but pulled together the win that
will take them to the next round in the tournament.

ROCORI will take
on Park Rapids at Moorhead State University at 6:00 pm this Saturday,
March 10th.
