ROCK FALLS – The Mendota Trojans seized the momentum right before halftime, and there was nothing the Rock Falls Rockets could do about it.

The Trojans scored the final five points of the first half and the first eight of the third period en route to a 46-32 Big Northern West victory at Tabor Gym in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Mendota (17-10, 6-6) trailed 24-16 late in the second quarter.  It outscored Rock Falls 25-8 after halftime, with the Rockets (12-15, 5-7) shooting 3-for-16 from the field (18.8 percent) and turning the ball over 12 times.
