By Beau Barkau

The Okawville Junior Rockets opened up the junior high basketball season on October, 19. It was great to see and hear the fans in the stands after their absence during the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The Junior Rockets played host to the Woodlawn Warriors. 

The Warriors blitzed Okawville right out of the gate with a 16-2 run in the first quarter and extended their lead to 23-6 after the first half. 

Woodlawn expanded the lead in the third quarter to 38-13 and finished off the Junior Rockets in the fourth quarter, 50-18.
