The Varsity basketball team of Rocky Mountain high school ranked 19th in the state of Idaho, went up against ranked 13th in the state, Varsity basketball team of Centennial High school the other night, February fifth, 2025. Knowing how centennial has played in the past everyone would think the game would be a blow out, but it was a closer game than expected.
One of the dads of a rocky basketball player said, “I watched the centennial vs Owyhee and that was a very close game, so I would think centennial was going to play pretty good.”
Kaden Swenson a junior was asked how he thought the game was going to go and he said, “I didn’t think it would be that close of a game just knowing how rocky has played this season and how centennial has played.”
Even though Centennial still won, it was a close game and a good game to watch. The First quarter score was Rocky:20 Centennial:19, which was a good start for Rocky. The second quarter score was Rocky:31 Centennial:44, Rocky fell a little behind this quarter but after resting during half time they can make a comeback. Third quarter score Rocky:54 centennial:56 Rocky did start to make a comeback. Last quarter of the game the score was Rocky:68 Centennial:77, so this was bad news for Rocky. If Rocky won this game the Rocky team could’ve gone to districts automatically, but since Rocky lost that game, they had to go up against another school to fight for the fourth spot for districts.
The next game Rocky had to play for the fourth place for districts they lost. So sadly their 2024-2025 basketball season has come to an end. Overall, this was an entertaining game and season to watch, and hopefully next season Rocky can make it to state.

I loved how the author interviewed the dad and student on how they think the game would go based on their opinions. I also loved how the author put the score each quarter in the article.

We did good. Sometimes good ain’t good enough and that’s okay. The ranking show how well we truly played considering how low we were to them. We got the next one for sure.

I like this article because it shows how rocky didn’t give up and they kept fighting through the game. it is also really cool because going into the game they thought they were going to lose but they kept fighting and almost won the game.

I really enjoyed reading this article it showed the ups and downs. I thought it was cool that she mentioned the ranking of each school and how rocky was ranked 19th and how the other team was 13th in the state it showed the real competition. It shows rocky isn’t supposed to win an still almost did.

I think it was very cool how the reporter interviewed both the dad and a player to get two different views on the team Rocky was playing. I enjoyed reading the part where Rocky still gave it their all despite the outcome. I have high hopes for Rocky basketball next year and hope they can go all the way.

I like that you went through each quarter to explain what it was like to be at the game. I also like how you interviewed a parent to get their opinion on the game rather than just students.

I really like how the author got the point of view from a parent and a student! It is really cool how rocky was also able to face against these tough opponents and keep up with them too! I also like how the rankings were showed in this article it makes reading it more thrilling knowing Centennial is 13th and Rocky is 19th. I really wish I could’ve watched this game play out in real time but at least I got to read this article.

I think this is a very good article for learning and informing people about our basketball team. I also like how the reporter had interviewed a dad of one of the players to see the game from his view. and how she also had interviewed one of the players and asked about his thoughts on the game and on Centennial

I like how the author interviewed a dad and a student about how they thought the game would go. I also like how they went quarter by quarter telling the score of the game.
