Jacob VanCuren led Rockford with 11 points, as the Rams put four scorers in double figures and defeated Jenison 55-45 in a non-conference game on Tuesday.

"We were up by three going into the fourth quarter, but Rockford turned up the pressure and forced us into some bad decisions," Jenison coach David Kool said. "We have got to take care of the basketball better, especially late in these close games. We have to learn how to win those games that are close, and some of our younger guys got a lesson in what it takes to win those close games tonight."

Rockford (1-1 overall) overcame a 21-point effort from Jenison standout Trevor VanDuyn. Sam Szarowicz added 11 points.

Nolan Bryant, Jason Majerle and Andrew Heider all scored 10 points each for Rockford.

Jenison faces Hudsonville on Friday.
