The Rockets fell behind early in the boys’ game and could not overcome a cold shoot touch as they fell 34 to 25.  The Rockets played the Champions evenly in the 2nd half but that was not enough to erase an 8 point halftime deficit.  Westwood was led in scoring by Isaiah Owens who had 8 points including a pair of 3 pointers.  Jake Hollandsworth chipped in 4 points.  The loss evened the Rockets record at 6 and 6 on the season.

The Westwood JV Lady Rockets defeated Cascade 22 to 6.  Westwood will play host to Moore County on Thursday night.  The girls’ game begins at 6 PM.
