The weather did not stop the pin tournament and did not deter the Rocket wrestlers from gaining a firstplace finish at the home event on Monday, Jan. 17. The name of the game in a pin tournament is to gain as many wins by pin as possible. The Rockets had a firstplace total of 43, 10 more than second place Ashland-Greenwood.

A re-schedule date has been announced for the induction of the 4th class into the Syracuse S-Club Athletic Hall of Fame. The induction was to be conducted earlier in January but was postponed due to weather.
As the lopsided score of 57-26 over Plattsmouth (2- 11) on Tuesday, January 18, wouldn’t show, the Rockets took advantage of some different opportunities but missed out on others. Of course, their full-court press eluded the Blue Devils into turnovers for the majority of the game, but the Rockets often failed to make quick points in the paint off of turnovers. Instead, the ladies started the first three quarters with three-point baskets. In order, sophomore Delainey Cast, senior Lindsey Moss, and junior Kaylee Bures. In all, the Rockets had 6 three-point baskets, with Bures leading with 3 and Moss following with 2.
After an eleven-day hiatus from games due to cancellations from weather and an overabundance of illness in the area, the Rockets boys team ventured to Plattsmouth (6-7) on Tuesday, January 18, only to fall 44-64.
