Holding the title of the NPL league basketball tournament is a highly sought after position.
Rock Hills girls anticipated the road to victory could be hard as their first NPL Tournament game was against St. John’s-Tipton. However, they had beaten St. John’s earlier in the season.
So, when St. John’s-Tipton won over the Rock Hills girls 53-40, it was a super disappointment.
Rock Hills went on to play Thunder Ridge and won 58-29. They then played Pike Valley and again won 47-21.
Perhaps, it is a bit of a consolation that St. John’s-Tipton won first place with a win over Sylvan-Lucas 49-34 and a second win over Osborne 50-45 to win the title.
Rock Hills Boys
The Rock Hills boys basketball team opened the NPL Tournament by winning over Stockton 56-28.
They then played Lakeside and lost 52-35. Next they played Sylvan -Lucas and again lost 43-45 and finally finished the NPL tournament by playing Pike Valley, a game they also lost 45 to 44.
Monday evening, Rock Hills broke the losing streak when they breezed by the Osborne Bulldogs 88-16 in regular season play.
Cooper McDill scored 21 points with six steals. Eli Whelchel added 12 points with six rebounds.
The victory snapped Rock Hills losing streak. They now stand at six wins and 8 loses for the season. Osborne had not won a game this season.
Rock Hills was scheduled to play Tipton Tuesday evening. The game was being played as this newspaper was printed.
