Friday night seemed like it was going to be a good bounce-back opportunity for the Rosemount girls basketball team. Coming off a disappointing second half in a loss to Apple Valley on Tuesday, the Irish had reason to be confident going on the road to take on a Bloomington Jefferson...

A promising first half gave way to a disappointing second half for the Rosemount girls basketball team last Thursday in Eagan. The Irish saw a 12-point lead disappear as they turned the ball over 11 times, gave up 11 offensive rebounds and made just 4 of 15 shots from the free-throw...

Twenty-one turnovers and 32-percent shooting proved too much for Rosemount to overcome in a 58-50 South Suburban Conference loss at Prior Lake last Tuesday. With their second straight loss, the Irish slipped to 3-5 overall. They hosted Lakeville South Friday and are back on the court...

A few missed lay-ups kept the Rosemount girls basketball team from starting the season with a pair of victories at last weekend's Hamline Invitational in St. Paul. The Irish failed to connect on more than their share of close-range shots in a season-opening 66-60 loss to Orono Friday...

Just like the Rosemount girls hockey team, the Rosemount girls basketball team's season came to an end with a trip to Apple Valley. The sixth-seeded Irish scored just 14 points in the first half and shot 26 percent from the floor in a 69-39 loss to the third-seeded Eagles last Wednesday...

Rosemount stayed out of last place with a 60-55 victory over Burnsville in Friday's regular season finale. The Irish entered a game behind both Burnsville and Lakeville South in the South Suburban Conference standings. The win drew all three teams to matching 4-14 league records,...
