Rocket Court-warming 2021
Court warming week was intense as the students competed for the most spirit! The theme this year was Space Jam. Between air rock, dress up days, and class banners, each class had one goal! That goal was to build up the most points for the week to claim the spirit stick!
The Seniors won the spirit stick, with the Sophomores finishing second, the Juniors in third. Freshman were the fourth place point winners for the week.
Rockets hosted Union Star Trojans on Friday night of court warming. Varsity Rockets beat Union Star 65-31. The varsity lady Rockets beat Union Star 44-41. Due to the future coop with Nodaway Holt, this was the final court-warming as the West Nodaway Rockets.
Coronation was held following the games. Attendants were Tyler Kirsch and Sydney Marriott (freshmen), Xander Kent and Emma Young (sophomores), Reagan Hagey and Wyatt Ingraham (juniors). King candidates were Damon Andrews and Grant Adkins. Queen candidates were Kaylee Emery, Emilie Ricketts, and Abby Bragg. Congratulations, Grant and Abby!
