MORRIS — The Underwood girls team could not dig themselves out of a early hole Tuesday night as they fell to the Parkers Prairie Panthers 58-44 in the Section 6A semi-finals.

The Panthers came out ready to play as they jumped out to an early 20-4 first half lead. The Rockets were able to fight their way back into the game before half.

The second half began much like the first as Underwood could not find their offensive firepower. The No. 6 (Class A) Panthers were able to use that to their advantage as they picked up the win.

Kaitlyn Holen led the Rocket girls with 16 points, while teammate Karlea Thorson chipped in dozen in the game.

The Rockets finish their regular season with a 21-7 record.
