Rose Hill High School

Rose Hill High School is honored to again participate in the Adolph Rupp Boys' Basketball Tournament. The Rose Hill Rockets are coming off a tie for the best finish ever in RHHS history with a 3rd place finish at the 4a state basketball tournament. Also, 2006 brought the team its first ever championship in the Adolph Rupp Tournament. I am very blessed and privileged to coach such an outstanding group of athletes. Our number one goal is to get better every day, and to give 100% all the time. We have great respect for the teams involved in this highly competitive and renowned tournament, and we are very appreciative of the hospitality, congeniality, and support from the gracious Halstead hosts. Rose Hill High School is very excited to have the opportunity to play again in Halstead. We wish all of the teams the best of luck, and want to thank those who go to such great lengths to organize this outstanding high school basketball tournament.
