Fresh off a dominant 14–0 shutout against the Outlaws, the Rockets (2–2) are riding high and aiming to even the score in the standings. That win wasn’t just about points it was about proving something.
“There’s a lot of people that doesn’t believe in the Rockets, but it don’t really matter,” said General Manager Nicholas Benjamin. “Whoever is in this building, on this team, we believe in each other.”
While critics and trolls stirred the pot online and off, the Rockets stayed focused. Head coach James Champagne and his staff tightened the screws in practice, ramping up intensity and drilling communication through every tool available including helmet tech. The result: a unified roster, sharpened and synced.
Meanwhile, Missouri is reeling. Last week, the Silverbacks (0–2) were blown out 38–0 at home by the Tennessee Vikings. Now they’re looking for redemption but they’ll have to earn it against a Rockets team with something to prove and no patience for noise.Â
Game On.Â
