The South Milwaukee-Whitnall boys’ basketball game story made it into the front page of the Journal Sentinel sports section this morning … and it was good news for the Rockets.

Check out the story here. From it:

The South Milwaukee boys basketball team found out plenty about itself Friday night.

The Rockets discovered they might not have a lot of height, but they have a lot of speed. They saw they can use that speed to play tough defense. They found they can make shots if they stay patient. And if they make free throws, they can win big games.

South Milwaukee put it all together for a 62-60 win over Whitnall in a Woodland Conference showdown, moving the teams into a tie in the Black Division at 10-4.

“Tonight we used our quickness, got just enough defensive stops, and we showed patience on offense,” said South Milwaukee coach John Riggins. “This is a big win for us to at least have a chance at sharing the conference championship.”
