Champion returns for ceremonial basket

MARION, Ky. – Sidelined with a season-ending knee injury weeks ago, Rocket senior Travis Champion returned the floor briefly on senior night Friday to score a ceremonial basket during a 65-46 loss to Owensboro Apollo. 

The Rockets were unable to find further magic and were outpaced by Apollo from the outset, losing for the 21st time this season.

Injuries, particularly the one to Champion, have been a challenge for the Rockets this season, the first for new coach Matt Fraliex. However, the squad has continued fight through a campaign with only three wins.
