Wyatt Ragaller and Derek Thomsen were the two main guys scoring the ball for Ar-We-Va. Everyone in the starting 5 made a big impact if it was rebounding or defense as well. The Rockets made a jump to go up 29-21 at the break. Wyatt Ragaller would have a great second half as he was the leader the Rockets have seen time in and time out. Ar-We-Va would hold a 5 point lead into the 4th. During the final 8 minutes, the Cougars got hot. They hit plenty of threes and Ar-We-Va could match only so many. At the end the Rockets trailed by 1. Wyatt Ragaller hit two free-throws to take the lead. Kayden Winther found himself open for the Cougars to nail a corner 3 for a 2 point lead. Wyatt Ragaller got fouled once again and made 1 of 2 to trail 1 before the Rockets fouled twice with 4 seconds. Ragaller got the rebound and had to fire up a halfcourt heave which fell short. The Rockets would fall 54-53 and fall to 4-3 on the season.
