“My goal is to build a culture of respect, hard work, fun and accountability while maintaining the winning tradition of the Rocket ladies and sharing my deep love of this beautiful game with these incredible student/athletes. ” Puckett will take over a Rockets squad that went 12-5-2 last season, finishing in second in the Southern Buckeye Athletic and Academic Conference-National Division.
