Track
Today the RPMS Rocket Track team takes on Hamilton at Reeths-Puffer High School. Events start at 4pm.
The Reeths-Puffer Junior Elite Softball team was not able to defeat Newaygo last night. The rockets were great out of the gate with two exciting innings at bat. Despite the early 7-1 lead and GREAT base running, the table quickly turned. With a tough second inning the lady rockets held tough, kept their chins up and battled it out. Some highlights from the game were hard hits to the outfield including a triple by Jaylynn Acre and a double by Ava Gibbs and multiple singles. The Rockets return home on Monday, May 16 at 4:30 against North Muskegon. Come out and cheer on the Lady Rockets as they play at Reeths-Puffer Middle School.
