FIRST HALF

In the first half of the ROCORI Boys Basketball game the Spartans came out cold. Their shots weren't there and, against a tough Willmar squad, the defense would thrive. Justin Stommes led the Spartans in the first half offensively and Derek Eisenchenk shut down Wilmar's best player.

The second half of the boys game was one of the more exciting in recent memory. It was a tight game all the way through with each team building a lead and then the other coming right back and answering. In the end free-throw shooting prevailed and the Spartans won in OT.

FIRST HALF

It's the ROCORI Spartan Varsity Girls Basketball team up against the Bemidji Lumberjacks.  In the first half the Spartans were led by their freshman point guard Quinn Griffin. Bemidji would score the majority of their points in the paint and would hit a few big threes to take a double digit lead into the locker room.

SECOND HALF

In the second half the ROCORI girls came out with passion and fire. They closed the gap to single digits a couple times and had comeback on their minds. It wouldn't be a full comeback but the girls played with heart.  If only a few shots had gone in for the Spartans and not for the Lumberjacks, we would be writing a different script for the curtain call on this game.
