Basketball Recap: Rockford Comes Up Short

Rockford lost to Litchfield back in February of 2024 and unfortunately they wound up with the same result on Tuesday. The Rockets fell just short of the Dragons by a score of 57-54. While losing is never fun, the Rockets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 262nd, while the Dragons are ranked 130th).

Rockford has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.4 points over those games. As for Litchfield, their victory bumped their record up to 9-5.

While Rockford had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
