ROCHELLE — It took Rochelle a quarter to get going, but once it did, there was no stopping the Lady Hubs from beating Sterling 51-40 in front of a home crowd.

Trying to control the pace of the game, Rochelle started the first quarter pushing the ball up the court and trying to score quickly to take an early 12-9 lead.

“We were trying to play up-tempo. We just ended up going a little overboard,” Dobbs said.

Dobbs settled the team down between quarters, slowing Rochelle’s offense down to a reasonable pace and the Lady Hubs started hitting shots.
