After nearly 200 hours of team practice per kid and coach, more than 70 trips to and from JM each, and 28 JM Rocket Football games all in just a few months, the 2017 JM Rocket Football season has come to a close for our hardworking Rocket athletes and coaches.
Many thanks to all of the Rocket fans and families that helped make this a fun and memorable season and made this opportunity possible for our 143 student athletes. They all gained life long lessons on what it takes to succeed both on and off the field. The harder the lesson, the more you learn. Never stop learning.
We are very proud of our young men and wish them continued success in the classroom and in their winter and spring activities.
Once A Rocket, Always A Rocket!
