Girls basketball: Sterling rallies past Rochelle for second straight regional title

Warriors go wild in second half

STERLING – Things were uneasy in the Rochelle locker room at halftime of the Class 3A Sterling Regional final, even with an eight-point lead. Next door, the Sterling Golden Warriors were just plain mad.

After struggling on the offensive end throughout the first half Thursday, the Golden Warriors used big runs in both the third and fourth quarters to beat the Hubs 47-44 and claim their second straight regional championship.

“I never felt comfortable, never thought we were in complete control,” Rochelle coach Kay Dobbs said. “Even up 8 at halftime, we still knew we were in for a battle, because Sterling’s too good a team to just go away.”

Good or bad? Depends on who you ask
