AHS vs. SHA Basketball Game

The Assumption basketball team played one of its biggest games of the year on Sunday, January 16. Not only was it against one of the best teams in the state, but it was also our biggest rival, Sacred Heart.
The JV team ended with a loss to SHA in a hard-fought battle that came down to the wire. The Varsity game was played in a very loud and upbeat atmosphere with fans filling both sides of the stands from the respective schools. The Rocket cheering section was led by some seniors and had a great turnout. The Rockets played really well in a very physical game, but couldn't quite pull it out.
This isn't the last time the two teams will match up though, possibly meeting again in the LIT tournament and in the regional tournament.
Other exciting festivities coincided with this game, including the volleyball team receiving their state rings at halftime, followed by a performance by the dance team. The spirit was alive both on and off the court, and it won't be the last time we see this Rocket pride!
