Rockets 8 Red Girls Win For-The-Game Tourney In Waukegan

On a 70 degree day in mid-February, the Illinois Rockets 8th grade Red girls basketball team triumphed over three opponents to take the title at the FTG event at the Waukegan Fieldhouse.

Game One’s victory came at the hands of the Racine (WI) Elite. The Rockets demonstrated strong transition offense as they pulled away to a 45-36 triumph.

Game Two against Full Package’s 8th grade squad was a slugfest, with the Rockets ending on the winning side of the 29-25 final score.

The finale featured a feeder team for Niles West High School. The Rockets got their running game going in the second half, outscoring Niles West by 24 points for the 56-21 victory and the tourney title.

Rockets players are Kate Chaparro, Ren Gradel, Gabi Melby, Kelsey Modaff, Grace Steffen, Maggie Stutelberg and Kiara Zamar. Not pictured are Emma Parney, Margaret Snyder and Mia Van Someren. The Rockets are coached by Michael Scholl and Drew Ondik (not pictured).

The Illinois Rockets 2nd annual 1000 Makes Club was a resounding success once again! We give our returning players the opportunity to participate on a voluntary basis, and ask them to track shots made at game speed while working out on their own during the summer.
