Rose Hill Athletics

The ninth-seeded Rose Hill Rockets will travel to Augusta tonight to take on the eighth-seeded Augusta Orioles in the first round of the 4A state playoffs. The Rockets last played Augusta in Week 5, when the Orioles defeated the Rockets 22-3. In this game, the Rockets hope to flip the script by shutting down Augusta’s key players: LB Mason Pringle, QB Mason Skov, and TE Jaxon Ingram. Rocket RB/LB Nick Jones recognized the game’s significance. “Last time we faced Augusta, we didn’t get the result we wanted, but we have learned from it and put in the work and made the adjustments. At this time, it is win or go home.”
