The magic shooting touch that vaulted the Westwood Rockets into the quarterfinals of the Duck River Valley Tournament on Saturday, evaporated on Monday night in a 2nd round loss to Liberty. Being held to 2 first quarter points, the Rockets battled hard, but could get no closer than 4 points before falling 38 to 26 to end their season. Chase Simpkins had 14 points on the night, including 8 in the 3rd quarter. Jake Hollandsworth continued his hot shooting with two 3 point goals finishing with 6 points. With the loss, the Rockets season comes to a close as Westwood finishes with a record of 6 and 14. The Lady Rockets open tournament play on Wednesday afternoon with a 4 PM game against Huntland. The DRVC tournament is being played at the Forrest High School in Chapel Hill.
