A look at SOME of the Teddy Bears collected on Thursday night at Westwood.
The Westwood Rockets and Lady Rockets may not have collected a victory on the court on Thursday night but they more than made up for that in terms of the Christmas spirit. Cascade visited the Joel Vinson Gym for the annual Teddy Bear toss game where more than 200 stuffed animals were donated.
In years past, the stuffed toys collected have been donated to local first responders to use as “comfort toys” for local children involved in a tragic event. This year, the decision was made to donate the 214 toys donated to the East Tennessee Toys for Tots to help support the devastated families in the Gatlinburg/Sevier County areas who have been impacted by the wildfires in the Smokies.

In the girls’ game, Westwood dropped a 35 to 26 decision as the visiting Lady Champions of Cascade held Westwod to 8 first half points. A 14 point by Cascade put Westwood in a 13 point hole at the break. The Lady Rockets outscored Cascade in the 2nd half but could not overcome the first half deficit. Haidyn Campbell led Westwood in scoring with 6 points. Allie Roberts and Valarie Barger each added 5 points.
The Rockets went to the half tied at 19 with Cascade, but were held to 5 points in the second half in a 41 to 24 loss. Westwood was led in scoring by Trent Thompson who had 10 points. Cruz Pitsinos and Eliot Sain each finished with 5 points.
Westwood will be back at home on Monday night when they take on Fayetteville. The girls’ game will tip off at 6 PM.
