GIRLS BASKETBALL
WABASH — The Rochester girls basketball team was trailing Southwood 30-29 in the fourth quarter when Genni Isbell lined up a 12-foot shot from the left baseline.
It was in. After trailing for three-and-a-half quarters, the Lady Zs were going to have their first lead. Then it somehow popped out of the basket, hanging on the rim before falling out.

Peru (2-3, 0-2 Three Rivers Conference) at Rochester (3-3, 0-1), 6:15 p.m./7:45 p.m. (JV/Varsity): It’s one thing to lose, but it’s another to not improve.

WINAMAC — The game between Rochester and host Winamac Saturday was the girls basketball equivalent of Black Friday shopping.

There was a lot of tussling and heavy lifting, not much was available for free, and not everyone went home totally satisfied with what they got. The game featured 43 fouls, 48 free throw attempts, nine held balls and 56 turnovers.

Rochester (3-2) at Winamac (5-0), 6 p.m./7:30 p.m. (JV/Varsity): Coach Brian Jennings challenged the Rochester girls basketball team before their game against Lewis Cass Tuesday.
Allow fewer than 30 points or do some extra running at practice Wednesday. The Lady Zs got to save some tread on their sneakers, holding the Lady Kings to eight second-half points in a 59-26 win.

BOYS BASKETBALL
Not even Rochester boys basketball coach Rob Malchow knew who the starters would be for the season-opener against Culver Wednesday until the night before the game.
And the players didn’t know until about five minutes before the game started.
That might explain a pleasant dilemma that Malchow and the Zebras will be dealing with in 2018-19. There is so much depth and competitiveness within practice that Malchow will be picking from an endless reservoir.
