It seems like everyone is struggling against the Grand Haven girls basketball team so far this season, so at least Reeths-Puffer is not alone.
Grand Haven won its first three games by 12, 32 and 44 points.
The Rockets tried to slow down the Buccaneer train on Friday, but ended up on the short end of a 54-11 score.

It was the second straight really tough game for the Rockets, who lost to Hudsonville by a big margin on Tuesday.
The game went badly from the beginning for R-P, which trailed 18-2 after one quarter, 30-4 at halftime and 45-6 after three quarters.
The Rocket struggled with the Bucs’ pressure defense, turning the ball over 27 times.
