MUSKEGON — Jaxson Whitaker turned a lot of heads on Monday night with his shooting prowess.
Whitaker scored 35 points, including nine 3-pointers and led the Reeths-Puffer Rockets to a 75-61 victory over Kenowa Hills. The game was played at Reeths-Puffer.
“Jaxson had the best shooting night of anyone I have every coached or coached against,” Rocket coach Nate Aardema said. “He made 3s off the dribble, off the catch and just about any way imaginable.”
It didn’t look so good in an opening quarter that saw the Rockets fall behind 10-6. However, the second and third quarters were a whole different story as Reeths-Puffer scored 52 points in the middle two quarters and limited Kenowa Hills to 26.
The Rockets led 58-36 heading into the final quarter.
