“Playing 3 road games in a row in 5 days and battling the injury bug a bit we knew it was going to be a battle playing Hancock tonight,” commented Rothsay Head Coach Taylor Fuhs. “We competed right away but got out of sync on the offensive side in the last 6-7 minutes of the first half. We battled back to cut their lead but Matt Thompson and their entire team ended up being too much.”
Rothsay was led by Chris Carrillo with 16, Tanner Heier had 9 and Jett Kulack contributed 8.
Hancock (11-3) will travel to Battle Lake on Tuesday night.
Rothsay (4-9) has home games against Ashby on Thursday and Underwood on Friday.
