Reeths-Puffer was a step slow on the defensive end on Tuesday night and the result was a 59-47 loss to Grandville.
“It was an ugly game,” Rocket coach Dave Ingles said. “We couldn’t make a layup and we couldn’t make a free throw and that kills the offense.”
The Rockets trailed 13-6 after one quarter and 25-18 at the half.
Marquese Livers led R-P with 17 points and Andrew Reinecke added 11 points.
“We were just a step late getting into the passing lanes and that’s frustrating,” Ingles said. “We ran our offense, got layups and free throws, but never made anything.”
The Rockets made 17-of-32 from the line.
Joey Lanning led the Bulldogs with 27 points.
