After beating the Sauk Rapids Storm in their regular season finale, the Spartans Girls Basketball team hoped to take some of their momentum up to Fergus Falls in their Section Quarterfinals match against the Otters.

Last week, the ROCORI Spartans Boys Basketball team traveled up to Alexandria to take on the Cardinals. Earlier this year, the Spartans beat the Cardinals on their home court with ease 64-45. However, ROCORI has had a history of struggling when they travel to Alexandria, and in this game the Spartans played poorly.

The Spartan's Scott Willenbring was able to turn in a strong performance, but he was the only player who scored in double figures. The Cardinals’ Connor Illies turned in a game-high 29 points en route to a 57-40 win for the Cardinals. The Spartans have a home game tonight Friday against Willmar. We hope to see you there!

ROCORI Varsity Boys Basketball vs Little Falls

February 10, 2009
ROCORI High School
Cold Spring, MN  USA

FIRST HALF

Click To Play           *QUICKTIME              *iPOD          *CELL      *You Tube

The ROCORI Spartans boy’s basketball team has seen their season turn around as of late beating a tough Richfield team out of the Twin Cities. Last week, the Spartans battled the Little Falls Flyers in another difficult match up. The first time the two teams met, Little Falls could not buy a bucket from three-point range. However, on the Spartans home court things would be different, much different. ROCORI fell behind early despite great offensive performances from Ben Rausch, Scott Schroeder, and Scott Willenbring.

SECOND HALF

Click To Play           *QUICKTIME              *iPOD          *CELL      *You Tube

Even with the tough start, the Spartans only trailed by four at the half, but they were never able to get over the hump and take the lead from the Flyers in the second half. ROCORI squandered a great opportunity to move into sole possession of second place as they move toward the playoffs. Hopefully the Spartans can take comfort in the fact Little Falls gave them everything they had, and the Spartans still had a chance to walk away with a victory. We look forward to covering the team as they make their run into the post-season.  Final score: 57-63.

December 9th, 2008
St. Cloud, MN   USA

1st Half

Click To Play           *QUICKTIME              *iPOD          *CELL

The ROCORI Spartan Boys Basketball team traveled to St. Cloud Apollo to take on the Eagles in their first CLC match up of the 2008 season. While the Eagles may be a young team, they are still extremely athletic, and can score from anywhere on the court. The Spartans came out sluggish, making only one field goal in the first few minutes of the game.

2nd Half

Click To Play           *QUICKTIME              *iPOD          *CELL

Although the Spartans fell behind quickly, they received strong performances from the Lashinski brothers as well as senior point guard Adam Backes, who shot the ball lights out in the second half. Ultimately, the Spartans couldn’t contain Apollo’s offense, and they turned the ball over far too much as they fell to the Eagles 64-49.

ROCORI vs Apollo Boys Basketball

Click To Play               *QUICKTIME                 *Phone

In what would be their final game of the season, the ROCORI Boys Basketball team took on the St Cloud Apollo Eagles. The two teams had split the season series, but the Spartans had dominated their home game with the Eagles squeaking out an overtime victory.

But the Spartans home away from home, Hallenbeck Hall, was not so kind during their playoff match with the Eagles this year. After building a quick lead, the rims seemed to shrink on the Spartans and shots could not find the bottom of the net. The Eagles were able to steal a victory from the senior driven Spartans. Congratulations to the Boys Basketball program and good luck next season.
