The Forrest Rockets led at Fayetteville Friday night for each of the first three quarters before fading in the fourth period in a tough 59-46 loss. "We came out and played an excellent three quarters," said Forrest head coach Wes Hobbs. "We said before we got out there if we kept the game in the fifties that we would have a chance and we did that, but in the fourth quarter we sort of got out of what we wanted to do."

With a big 67-29 win in Fayetteville Friday night, the Forrest Lady Rockets (10-4, 3-0) are off to their best start since the 2009-2010 season when they went 11-3 over 14 games. "It's been awhile and I thought we had a chance to be there, we have been playing a bunch of young kids," said Forrest head coach Jeremy Jean. "Ten wins is good, but we have to get a couple more before the New Year and then get that one on Friday after the New Year."
