Rockets Ongoing Victories

By: Brittni Emperley

The Cedar Grove-Belgium Rockets 2009 seasons are more than outstanding. The football team ended the regular season with a 9-0 record and will playing Oostburg in their second playoff game on Saturday, October 31st at 4:00 p.m. Their first playoff game was on Tuesday against Kenosha St. Joseph. The game ended with a score of 42-7, with the Rockets once again taking another victory. According to Wayne Paulus, who plays both defensive end and offensive guard, “Our game was slow at first, but we had a great second half.” Spencer Jacque led the team in rushing yards with a total of 251 yards. Time and again, the Rockets marched onto the field ready to play any team that came their way. With a total number of 384 points this season, the Rockets allowed their competition to score only 51 points. Cedar Grove- Belgium Rockets ended up with second seed this year, and we’re all hoping for a victory against Oostburg this Saturday!

Football is not the only sport that the Rockets are currently thriving in—both the girls and boys cross country teams are going to state this Saturday. Having won sectionals, we expect the team to do extremely well at state. The meets, which take place between 11:00 (girls) and 1:00 (boys) are being held at Wisconsin Rapids.

Good luck, Rockets! We wish you the best!
