What do you get when you take a 10-0 Rockford team, and chop out a 20 point starting player? Their first loss of the season, that’s what. Braden Blanchard seriously injured a leg during warmups and was hauled off the court and to the ER. Condition: Unknown. But, that left a huge hole in the Rockford starting line-up that the Rockets simply could not fill on such short notice losing to a mediocre D-C Chargers team 61 – 55.
Rockets schedule gets no easier at this point, next up:
- Tue 1/14 at Glencoe / Silver Lake start time 7:15p.
- Thu 1/15 at Howard Lake/Waverly/Winsted start time 7:15p
- Sat 1/18 at Minneapolis Roosevelt start time 3:00p
Rockets fall to 10 – 1 on the year, 4 – 1 in the section, 3 – 1 in the conference.
