It was homecoming at Rockford High School on Friday, Oct. 13. The school honored inductees into its Hall of Fame.
And the Rams put up a Hall of Fame effort in the second half to come back and beat East Kentwood 24-10.
The game started slow, with a very defensive effort, and no score after one quarter. However, it wasn't too long into the second when Maliq Thompson broke the tie, giving Rockford a 7-0 lead.
