The Fayetteville-Perry Lady Rockets were able to rally back from a third-quarter deficit to capture a narrow 44-40 win over Middletown Chrisitian in round one of the Southwest District Division IV Sectional Tournament at Monroe High School on Saturday, Feb. 13.
The No. 4 seed Lady Rockets move on to face the No. 5 seed Felicity-Franklin Lady Cardinals, who defeated Ripley in round one of sectional tourney play, at Monroe High School on Feb. 18.
The Lady Rockets struggled with shooting in Saturday’s sectional game, sinking only 13-of-62 attempts from the field as a team (21-percent).
“I have always felt and talked with my teams over the years that winning in tourney play doesn’t have to be pretty just win,” said Fayetteville-Perry head coach Toby Sheets.
