Congratulations to the Rocket softball team!
From the school district …
SOFTBALL
Congratulations to the Varsity Softball team as they finished the regular season with a 19-3 record and 16-2 mark in the Woodland Conference. That record has earned them at least a share of the Woodland Conference Championship for the 2nd year in a row!
The Rockets swept a Doubleheader against Brown Deer last night, both games by run rule.
The Rockets put themselves in position to capture the crown with a 13-4 extra-inning win at Greenfield on Monday with a stupendous NINE (9) runs in the top of the 8th inning! Maddie Veres (9) had a HR and 5 RBI while Abby Mahsem (11) continued her stellar pitching throwing 13 K’s in the win.
Next up for the Rockets is the WIAA Playoffs. Seeding is yet to be determined, but they will either start next week Tuesday or Thursday at home, depending on their seed.
GIRLS’ SOCCER
The Rocket JV Soccer team is on a roll! They beat Cudahy 4-0 on Monday and defeated Greenfield by the same score of 4-0 last night! Great job girls!
The Rocket Varsity Girls’ Soccer team lost a tough one last night to Greenfield 2-0 while playing pretty short handed, but they did beat Cudahy 3-0 on Monday in yet another crazy weather game (stopped in the 71st minute due to lightning). Nicole Adamec (10), Megan Hilbelink (11) & Emily Grunert (10) scored goals in the win!
The Rockets host Wauwatosa West tomorrow night (4:30pm JV and 6:30pm Varsity) so come on out and cheer the Rockets on at the SM Memorial Soccer Complex (old site of the Junior High).
