"I'm pumped! It's awesome just to be at a school that can get this far," said student Chase Schooley.
Rocket rowdies filled up the gym with blue and white, and plenty of cheering. Principal Jill Warren said all of the school spirit makes a huge difference.
"Your cheering, your enthusiasm, your excitement are vital to this teams success," Warren said.
