WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Rockets lineup looks to be filled with juniors and sophomores this season. They should be strong defensively. Look for Cade Gardner to make an impact in all phases of the game. As their young roster develops the Rockets should be competitive in the Mountain 3A/4A Conference.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
A young gritty group that has been grinding since the last day of last season. They have been in the weight room, field and cages giving relentless effort.
