The KGJ STEM at Crockett Rockabots’ streak of sending a team to the state competition will continue this year.
The Rockabots had a strong showing at the Pitching in Winter Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 22.
Team 148A and their alliance member edged out Team 148B and their ally to win the competition championship. Their excellent performance has earned them an invitation to the US Open in Iowa.
The win came in dramatic fashion with the final ending in a tie. In the ensuing playoff, Team 148A produced tournament-high scores in each of the additional four matches.
Team 148 C took third place with their ally. Team 148D missed the finals by just 0.16 of a point.

“As their coach, I could not be more proud of the hard work, determination and tremendous growth I have seen over the season,” Rockabots advisor Susan Berrones said.
A Rockabots team has qualified for the state competition every year they have competed.
