ROCORI Spartans Volleyball Tame Battle Alexandria For CLC Top Spot

Heading into their match against the Alexandria Cardinals, the ROCORI Spartans volleyball team knew that earning a win would not be easy. They knew that it would take a tremendous effort, and that everybody would need to chip in for a chance at victory. Not only was the effort there against the Cardinals, but also every player on the court played great.

Trailing 23-19 late in game one, the Spartans sent Kelsey Stommes to serve. ROCORI hadn’t managed to hold a lead the entire game, but Stommes was determined to put the Spartans on top. Not only did ROCORI take the lead, they went on to score the next six points and steal game one away after trailing by as many as 10 points! Game two Alexandria made some defensive adjustments at the net and really began to block ROCORI’s spikes.  ROCORI was unable to recapture the comeback magic in games two and three.

Knotted up at 17-17 in game four, ROCORI began relying heavily on Jordan Hansen and Briana Traut at the net. A couple of critical bounces went the Spartans way in game four and they managed to earn a close victory and force a fifth game. Falling behind quickly by five in the final game, ROCORI clawed back to within one point a number of times, but could never get over the hump. Alexandria pulled away and finished off an electrifying match against ROCORI. Both teams played phenomenally and DigElog ROCORI looks forward to covering their playoff runs later this season. For all of your ROCORI Spartans volleyball highlights, stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI.

Spartans Overcome Turnovers, Beat Willmar in Overtime

The ROCORI Spartans headed into last Wednesday night’s game against the Willmar Cardinals with a good idea of what their playoff road would look like depending on the outcome of the game. Win, and be nicely positioned to open the playoffs at home. Lose, and face the daunting task of trying to navigate through the playoff bracket with all road games.

The first half of the game looked something like a pewee football match with each team turning the ball over possession after possession. Finally, after managing to not turn the ball over on three downs, ROCORI punted the ball only one yard! Willmar was set up with great field position before ROCORI quickly returned the favor with an interception of their own. Despite all of the miscues from both teams, each defense played well enough to shutout the opposing squad.

The second half opened with two early touchdowns both on plays of 50-plus yards. Spencer Schulte ripped off an electrifying touchdown run that put the Spartans on top 7-0. Willmar quickly countered with long touchdown strike tying the score at 7 - 7. Both teams added another touchdown in regulation before heading into overtime. If you did not have a chance to make it out to the stadium (which many of you didn’t because of weather), we won’t spoil the rest. You must see the highlights of this game by watching both of these remarkable videos. However, we can say that ROCORI won in dramatic fashion! For all of our viewers that won’t be able to make it to the game at Bemidji, be sure to stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for all of your highlights.

ROCORI Spartans Stun Tech Tigers on the Road

In this story you’ll see the St. Cloud Tech Tigers host the ROCORI Spartans football team as they squared off last Friday evening. Both teams were coming off disappointing losses, each desperately needing a win to climb up in the CLC standings. ROCORI came out strong defensively, getting after the quarterback and creating turnovers. By halftime, ROCORI had built a 14 – 0 lead.

The second half started out with the defenses dominating once again. It wasn’t until early in the fourth quarter that St. Cloud Tech caused a big turnover at midfield that eventually resulted in their first touchdown of the game. Although the Spartans controlled the ball, as well as the physicality of the game, Tech still managed to make it a one-touchdown game. However, Derek Lieser and the Spartans drove down the field and put the game away with a touchdown.

ROCORI won in impressive fashion 21 – 7. Be sure to watch this weeks DigElog Network Game of the Week as the Tech Tigers will travel to St. Cloud Apollo on Wednesday to battle the Eagles. You can see the complete game live on DigElog ROCORI!

ROCORI School District H1N1 Update

ROCORI H1N1 information:
Dear Parent or Guardian:

Like other schools in the area, ROCORI is experiencing a few confirmed cases of H1N1 and many flu-like symptoms among the student body.  We appreciate the cooperation demonstrated by families in reporting illnesses and symptoms through the early part of the fall.

Like any flu virus, H1N1 can be a serious disease. Most of the H1N1 cases in Minnesota have been school-aged children. ROCORI hopes to keep school open and functioning in a normal manner and would appreciate your help with the prevention steps outlined below.

Influenza spreads when a person with the flu coughs or sneezes. You can help us prevent the spread of flu by taking the following steps.

Keep your child home if they have symptoms of the flu.  That means a fever of 100 degrees or higher, with a cough and/or sore throat. You should check your child for these symptoms each morning before sending them to school. Students who have these symptoms at school will be sent home. Other symptoms that may occur with flu include runny nose, headache, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea (in addition to fever and cough or sore throat).
     
       2.    Wash hands often.

3.     Cover coughs and sneezes. Hands should not be used to cover a cough or  sneeze. Cough into a tissue or your elbow.

Sick students should stay home for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone without use of fever-reducing drugs like Tylenol or Motrin. Usually that means staying home for 5-7 days.  

5.    Learn how to care for a person with flu symptoms at home and when to seek medical attention. 

http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/diseases/flu/h1n1/basics/care

For more information, please feel free to visit the Minnesota Department of Health website at www.health.state.mn.us or the federal flu website at www.flu.gov.

If novel H1N1 influenza begins causing more severe disease, some of the recommendations in this letter may change.  If there are significant changes to procedures shared with us, we will certainly pass them along to you. Thank you for your assistance in helping to reduce the spread of influenza in our schools.

Sincerely,

Traci Kooiman
District Nurse
