After being held scoreless in the 1st quarter, the Lady Rockets summoned up a huge 3rd quarter rally to earn a season split with the Lady Cougars. Trailing by 6 at the half, Westwood rallied for 14 points in the 3rd quarter led by Haidyn Campbell who netted 8 in the period. The Lady Rockets scored 8 points from the free throw line in the 4th quarter to capture the victory. Campbell led Westwood in scoring with 14 points for the game while Clarissa Barrera added 5.
Wyatt Nugent of Westwood basketball
The Rockets were held without a field goal in the last quarter as the Cougar defense sparked the rally and win for MTCS. Westwood built a 5 point lead after 1 quarter and carried that cushion into the 4th quarter before succumbing to the full court pressure. Wyatt Nugent led Westwood in scoring with 8 points. Trenton Thompson finished with 6 points for the Rockets.
Westwood is on the road to Unionville on Monday night to take on Community. The girls’ game will tip off at 6 PM. Coach Angela Houck of the Lady Rockets and Coach Will Pannell of the Rockets will be guests on Saturday’s Coffee Coaches Show.
