Coach Outlook: "As the Rockets prepare for the 2025 season, there's a lot of excitement and energy. With a strong offseason, the squad looks to build on its past successes and accomplish our goals of winning a league title and make a run at a state title. With a mix of experienced upperclassmen and several talented underclassmen, this team has the potential to make noise in the postseason. With a challenging schedule ahead, the team will need to be at its best, especially during league play."
