The Reeths-Puffer volleyball team showed a lot of poise on Wednesday in its first home performance of the season.
The Rockets had a big lead in their first match over Fruitport, then lost it, which could have set the tone for a frustrating evening.
Instead the Rockets pulled themselves together and won the next two matches and finished with a 2-1 record on the night.

R-P had a double-digit lead on Fruitport in its first set of the evening, but ended up falling 25-27, then lost the second set 14-25 to close out the match.
The Rockets also lost the first set of their match against Ludington, 22-25, but roared back to beat the Orioles 25-23, 15-10 in the last two sets.
They closed out the night against Ravenna, downing the Bulldogs 25-7, 25-11.
Makayla Disselkoen led the R-P attack with 14 kills while Mairyn Peterson added 10.

Maddy Dyer and Grace Darke dished out 24 and 19 assists, respectively. Darke also served five aces.
Defensively, Dyer had 18 digs and Darke totaled 11.
Reeths-Puffer now has a 4-3 record on the season and will return to action on Sept. 7 at the Fruitport Invitational.
